Testing for autoantibodies to extractable nuclear antigens (ENA) is essential in the investigation of connective tissue disease. Counterimmunoelectrophoresis is an early described testing methodology for antibodies to ENAs, but is labour-intensive, only moderately sensitive, and reliant on high-quality reference sera. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) is automatable for relatively high sample throughput, but has issues with false positives. The addressable laser bead immunoassay (ALBIA) is a multiplex technology which can assess several antibody specificities simultaneously on a small serum sample. We report performance of an ALBIA system compared with CIE and ELISA.
