Numerous immunochemical methods are now available for the detection of antibodies to gangliosides. An amplified ELISA method for detection of autoantibodies to NGcGM3 ganglioside in the sera of patients with various type of renal diseases was developed. IgM antibodies were found in 39 out of 53 sera of patients using 30 normal healthy blood donor as a negative control. For human IgG conjugate no reactivity to NGcGM3 was seen in the sera. Positive ELISA results were confirmed by TLC-immunostaining using GM3, NGcGM3, NGcGM2 and Standard bovine gangliosides (GM1, GD1a, GD1b and GT1b). All sera were also assayed for reactivity with GM3 in ELISA to determine the line specificity of these antibodies. Based on these results, a protocol for a sensitive and reproducible amplification ELISA system for serum anti-NGcGM3 antibodies in patients with renal or other diseases is presented. The ELISA method described here in appear to be useful adjunt to measure antiNGcGM3 antibodies in sera of patients with various type of renal or other diseases.
