Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
According to the 2006 revised Sapporo classification criteria, a diagnosis of antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is based on the presence of specific pregnancy-related morbidities, arterial or venous thrombosis in association with persistent lupus anticoagulant (LAC), anti-cardiolipin IgG/IgM or anti-beta 2-glycoprotein I IgG/IgM antibodies.(1) Cardiolipin is an anionic phospholipid that interacts with the protein cofactor beta 2-glycoprotein I. LAC is an indirect assessment for the presence of antiphospholipid antibodies, which is evident in the in vitro prolongation of phospholipid-dependent coagulation.(2) Anticardiolipin and anti-beta 2-glycoprotein I antibodies are detected in solid-phases immunoassays using beta 2-glycoprotein I-dependent cardiolipin/or beta 2-glycoprotein I alone as substrate, respectively.(2,3)
There is evidence from multiple studies to suggest that patients with APS may develop autoantibodies to other phospholipid/protein complexes, specifically phosphatidylserine/prothrombin (PS/PT).(4-9) Like beta 2-glycoprotein-dependent I cardiolipin, PS/PT is a complex composed of the anionic phospholipid phosphatidylserine and the protein cofactor prothrombin. In a systematic review, Sciascia et al demonstrated that the presence of anti-PS/PT IgG antibodies is an independent risk factor for arterial and/or venous thrombotic events, with odds ratio (OR) of 5.11 (95% CI: 4.2-6.3).(4) A multicenter study showed that IgG anti-PS/PT were more prevalent in APS patients (51%) than in those without (9%), OR 10.8, 95% CI (4.0-29.3), p <0.0001.(5) Furthermore, a number of studies have shown clinical and laboratory evidence that PS/PT antibodies may be a useful second-line test for the evaluation of patients at-risk or suspected with suspected APS, particularly for those individuals with evidence of thrombosis or abnormal LAC testing.(6,7) While anti-PS/PT antibodies were highly prevalent and correlated with other anti-PL antibodies, IgG anti-PS/PT conferred a high risk for thrombosis (8,9) but not for pure hematologic involvement.(9) These antibodies may also be seen in patients with other autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus.(5,8) In individuals who test positive for antiphospholipid antibodies without clinical features of APS (carriers), the cumulative incidence rate of thrombotic events has also been reported to be significantly higher for anti-PS/PT IgG positive than anti-PS/PT IgM positive subjects.(10)

Interpretation
Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Anti-phosphatidylserine/prothrombin complex IgG antibodies have relatively higher correlations with positive results for lupus anticoagulant than the IgM isotype as well as significant risk for APS-associated thrombotic events compared to the IgM isotype in antiphospholipid antibody carriers.
A negative result does not exclude a diagnosis of APS, as other phospholipid and/or protein antibodies are also associated with this disorder.
Cautions
Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
A diagnosis of antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) should not be based only on the presence of anti-phosphatidylserine/prothrombin antibodies. Results must be interpreted in the appropriate clinical context.
A negative result for anti-phosphatidylserine/prothrombin IgG antibodies does not exclude the diagnosis of APS.
Anti-phosphatidylserine/prothrombin IgG antibodies are not yet included in the classification criteria for APS.

The QUANTA Lite sPS/PT IgG assay is an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Briefly, purified phosphatidylserine/prothrombin (PS/PT) complex is coated onto a 96-well plate. Calibrators, controls, and diluted patient samples are added to the wells of the plate. If present, IgG antibodies to the PS/PT complex will bind during an incubation step. After a wash step, an antihuman IgG horseradish peroxidase-labelled conjugate is added. After another incubation and wash step, a peroxidase substrate solution is added, which will change color in the presence of the conjugated enzyme. Lastly, the reaction is stopped by the addition of 0.44 M sulfuric acid. The absorbance of the colored produced is proportional to the amount of IgG PSPT antibodies in the sample. Control and patient results are calculated based on a curve generated from the kit calibrators.(Packet insert: QUANTA Lite aPS/PT, IgG.INOVA Diagnostics; Rev 2, 01/2016)
