Component Description

IgG autoantibody testing of a subsample stored serum of specimens from NHANES (1999–2004) was conducted to estimate the prevalence and specificities of selected autoantibodies in the US population in 1999-2004.

Eligible Sample

One third subsample of participants aged 12 years and older from NHANES 1999-2004 in the Dioxin subsample who had stored sera (total of N = ~5,000 from NHANES 1999-2004).

Description of Laboratory Methodology

Immunofluorescence analysis
Testing of IgG autoantibodies to human cellular antigens was performed by the HEp-2 cell immunofluorescence assay using slides from INOVA Diagnostics, San Diego, CA (Cat # 508100) following the manufacturer’s instructions.

The cellular pattern of staining and its staining intensity from 0 to 4+ was described using a reference gallery per below. The determination of autoantibody titers from 1:80 to 1:1280 was performed by serial dilution on samples that showed a 3+ or greater nuclear and/or cytoplasmic immunofluorescence pattern.

Immunoprecipitation analysis
Testing of IgG autoantibodies to human cellular antigens was performed on samples that showed a 3+ or greater immunofluorescence staining using immunoprecipitation assays by a standard method (Reeves WH,et al., 2006)

Sera that showed known autoantibody specificities based on visible immunoprecipitated protein bands consistent with the combination of bands and their estimated size per the table below were recorded. Immunoprecipitated ribonucleic acid bands on stained gels were also recorded when they were needed to confirm the specificity. When necessary, the size and the pattern of migration were compared with reference sera (Reeves WH,et al., 2006).

Data Processing and Editing

Data Access: All data are publicly available.

Laboratory Quality Assurance and Monitoring

Immunofluorescence analysis
Serum samples were tested using established protocols outlined by manufacturer. A set of CDC autoimmune reference sera (12 different specificities) (Chan EKL et al., 2007) and 2 healthy control sera were coded and tested in a blinded fashion two times to verify consistent results throughout screening test: towards the beginning and when approximately half of the samples were tested.

Samples that showed discrepant results were repeated.

More than every 50th sample (2% of the total from NHANES 1999-2004) was automatically repeated to assess assay precision issues. Additional samples were repeated for the following reasons:
1) Titering of 3+/4+ positive samples (repeat, n=692)
2) Randomly selected samples for titering (and repeat, n=1035)
3) Other repeats are performed whenever there is any doubt for accuracy or technical issues. Samples repeated with 2 independent staining = 895; 3 independent staining = 194; 4 independent staining = 4.

Immunoprecipitation analysis
Serum samples were tested using the standard immunoprecipitation protocol (Reeves WH,et al., 2006). A set of CDC autoimmune reference sera (12 specificities) and 2 healthy controls were tested in a blinded fashion two times to verify consistent results throughout screening test: towards the beginning of the study and when approximately half of the samples were tested.

Samples that showed common bands were repeated in parallel side-by-side fashion for comparison with each other and with known controls as needed.

Assay reproducibility was initially assessed by random selection of the ANA 3+ or 4+ sera number of serum specimens tested and repeating the immunoprecipitation assay. The percentage of samples that were repeated was actually 15% (103/692) of the sera tested by IP.   

Analytic Notes

The NHANES Survey Design:

The analysis of NHANES laboratory data should be conducted using the key survey design variables. The NHANES Demographic data files for each 2-year survey cycle contain core information on the survey and the survey design variables for strata and PSU (SDMVSTRA and SDMVPSU, respectively) which are recommended to be used in variance estimation. This laboratory data files may be linked to other NHANES data files using the unique survey participant identifier SEQN.

Weighting:

Special subsample sample weights WTANA6YR in the file are required to analyze the NHANES 1999-2004 ANA data. This is because the ANA data were analyzed using stored serum samples obtained from survey participants who had been selected from NHANES 1999-2004 Dioxin subsamples. The NHANES 1999-2004 ANA sample and the subsample weights were created for 6 years analysis and should be used to analyze all six years together.
