RESUMO

This work studies the detection of anticardiolipin IgG present in the sera o patients with autoimmune diseases , using polymerized liposomes. The advantage of this system is the molecular recognition and transduction of signal in a single step. The use of real sera, instead reference sera, aimed to evaluate the potentiality of polymerized liposomes to application in clinical-laboratorial diagnosis. The studies were carried out using pools of sera from patients with autoimmune diseases, which were previously characterized through the dosage of specific IgG level. Three levels of specific-IgG were selected, which were classified as high (5152,01 mg/mL), medium (2030,49 mg/mL) and low concentration (13,39 e 14,03 mg/mL). Serum from healthy individuals, with 5,58 mg/mL IgG anti-cardiolipin was used as control. The monomeric liposomes were composed by the diacetylenic acid 10,12-tricosadiynoic and cardiolipin. The polymerization was perfomed by irradiation in the UV wave lenght, with the maximum absorption in the blue region. The interactions were studied on the free cardiolipin and on the surface of polymerized liposomes. The discrimination between autoimmune and health sera was studied in polymerized liposomes through the dilution of sera, purification of sera using sepharose- protein G gel, the polymerizatio level and the cardiolipin concentration. The results show that the specific binding are predominant in related to the inspecific ones, but the interference of non-specific components is significant. The patterns of absorbance in red and blue along time in polymerized liposomes are different for the autoimmune sera and healthy serum. The dilution or purification chages the absorbance pattern in the blue, which decreasing as a consequence of the interaction, intensifying the final red signal. The polymerization and the cardiolipin concentration in liposomes intensified the colorimetric signals, but they don t discriminate by naked eye the dfferences between autoimmune and health sera. The study of the effects of dilution and purification pointed out to conditions where the signal discrimination may be maximized. These results show the potentialities of polymerized liposomes to detection of anticardiolipin antibodies in real sera using a single step assay. Furthermore, they demonstrate the factibility of the spectral analysis on the study of molecular interactions in complex systems
