Abstract

The Luciferase Immuno Precipitation System (LIPS) enables the detection of specific serum antibodies by immunoprecipitation of recombinant antigens tagged with a luciferase reporter. Here we describe LIPS assays for the quantification of autoantibodies to the H+, K+-ATPase A (ATP4A) and B (ATP4B) subunits, two serological markers of autoimmune atrophic gastritis and pernicious anemia. In particular, we will describe the expression of luciferase-tagged recombinant ATP4A and ATP4B, their immunoprecipitation with test sera, the recovery and washing of immune-complexes with a protein-A coated resin, and the quantification of autoantibodies by addition of a luciferase substrate and the measurement of the light output from captured luciferase-tagged antigens.
