Abstract
Background: Autoantibodies (AAbs) are important biomarkers for the diagnosis of Autoimmune Diseases (ADs). The detection of AAbs performed by current methods (indirect immunofluorescence test (IIFT)/Immunoblot (dot/line)/enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay ELISA) which have limitations in terms of performing multiple assays to arrive at laboratory diagnosis. We validated a novel multiplex bead-based assay (NMBA) that could quantify five common antibodies, simultaneously, on a flow-cytometry platform.Methods: A total of five recombinant antigens (SS-A Ro60, CENP B, RNP 70, Scl 70 and Histones) were covalently coupled onto beads and tested using known positive sera (positive for AAbs) and analyzed using flow cytometer.Results: The sensitivity, specificity, Positive Predictive Value (PPV) and Negative Predictive Value (NPV) were obtained for each antigen, analyzed by both assays (NMBA and IIFT). It showed comparable or higher values for the NMBA. The Spearman's rank correlation coefficient (Rho) were ≥ 0.97, (P < .05), indicating that multiplexing of the five autoantigens did not alter the results obtained when antigens were tested individually. The mean intra-assay precision measured by coefficient of variation (CV) was7.56 ± 1.6% and the mean inter-assay CV was 10.03 ± 1.34%. The time taken from sample receipt to reporting of results was 90 minutes in NMBA as compared to 150 minutes of IIFTConclusion: The NMBA could quantitatively measure antibodies against five autoantigens, simultaneously in patient's sera. The assay is faster, objective, reproducible, requires low sample volume, and stable. Moreover, the flow cytometer in diagnostic laboratory settings for hematological and transplant immunology tests, can also be used for testing AAbs.

Abstract
Salmonella is a leading cause of foodborne illness in the United States, with poultry and poultry products being a primary source of infection to humans. Poultry may carry some Salmonella serovars without any signs or symptoms of disease and without causing any adverse effects to the health of the bird. Salmonella may be introduced to a flock by multiple environmental sources, but poultry feed is suspected to be a leading source. Detecting Salmonella in feed can be challenging because low levels of the bacteria may not be recovered using traditional culturing techniques. Numerous detection methodologies have been examined over the years for quantifying Salmonella in feeds and many have proven to be effective for Salmonella isolation and detection in a variety of feeds. However, given the potential need for increased detection sensitivity, molecular detection technologies may the best candidate for developing rapid sensitive methods for identifying small numbers of Salmonella in the background of large volumes of feed. Several studies have been done using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays and commercial kits to detect Salmonella spp. in a wide variety of feed sources. In addition, DNA array technology has recently been utilized to track the dissemination of a specific Salmonella serotype in feed mills. This review will discuss the processing of feeds and potential points in the process that may introduce Salmonella contamination to the feed. Detection methods currently used and the need for advances in these methods also will be discussed. Finally, implementation of rapid detection for optimizing control methods to prevent and remove any Salmonella contamination of feeds will be considered.

Abstract
Due to their pathogenetic role, many serum autoantibodies can be detected a long time before the clinical onset and during the course of organ-specific autoimmune diseases. For these reasons, autoantibodies can be used as predictive markers of an ongoing disease (in healthy subjects) and of disease activity and severity (in ill patients). The new multiplex diagnostic technologies introduced recently in laboratory medicine allow the simultaneous detection of several different autoantibodies and can be used for screening purposes in open populations or high-risk groups. This review examines the various autoantibodies of demonstrated predictive role in organ-specific autoimmune diseases and it introduces the state-of-the-art in the detection of multiple autoantibodies with proteomic systems.

Abstract
Autoimmune disorders are rare human diseases characterized by the presence of circulating autoantibodies that bind the body's own structural compounds as target antigens. The detection of autoantibodies is important for the diagnostic process. Immunofluorescence and immunoassay methods do not allow a reliable characterization of binding characteristics. Therefore, novel analytical techniques should be considered. This review describes the application of surface plasmon resonance biosensor systems for the diagnosis of autoimmune disorders. The covalent attachment of native antigens to the sensor chip is a suitable method for obtaining highly reproducible analyses of autoantibodies, allowing the evaluation of kinetic rate and affinity constants, and it may enable the identification of disease-relevant autoantibodies linked to disease progression. The autoantibody microarray is another future-oriented technique. Patterns of differential antigen recognition should allow early diagnosis. This is due to the fact that a broad range of autoreactive B cell responses in autoimmune disorders can only be mirrored by including a sufficient number of antigens in a microarray format.

Abstract
The investigation of autoimmunity provides an interest challenge in "omics" research and, particularly, proteome research, as autoimmune diseases are common disorders of unsolved etiology that occur in a wide range of manifestations, in all of which tissues and organs are attacked by the body's own immune system. Autoantibodies are a hallmark of many autoimmune diseases and the presence of autoantibodies is a distinctive and key characteristic of autoimmune diseases. Conventionally, the study of autoimmune response has always been conducted by analysing the presence and/or concentration of individual antibodies in biological fluids. New proteomic techniques allow the simultaneous identification/measurement of different autoantibodies in sera of patients suffering from autoimmune diseases. The possibility of simultaneously measuring a number of correlated analytes appears to be very interesting for analytical reasons (reduced volumes of biological samples, reagents and low costs), logistical/managerial reasons, and pathophysiological reasons (combination of markers in disease-oriented or organ-oriented profiling). In particular, we describe data collected by using high-throughput techniques such as antigen microarrays and mass spectrometry for antibody profiling. While recently collected data demonstrate satisfactory analytical sensitivity and reproducibility, some issues such as standardization and data interpretation have to be solved before the introduction of these new and promising techniques into clinical practice.

Abstract
Background The integration of biomedical information is essential for tackling medical problems. We describe a data model in the domain of flow cytometry (FC) allowing for massive management, analysis and integration with other laboratory and clinical information. The paper is concerned with the proper translation of the Flow Cytometry Standard (FCS) into a relational database schema, in a way that facilitates end users at either doing research on FC or studying specific cases of patients undergone FC analysis Results The proposed database schema provides integration of data originating from diverse acquisition settings, organized in a way that allows syntactically simple queries that provide results significantly faster than the conventional implementations of the FCS standard. The proposed schema can potentially achieve up to 8 orders of magnitude reduction in query complexity and up to 2 orders of magnitude reduction in response time for data originating from flow cytometers that record 256 colours. This is mainly achieved by managing to maintain an almost constant number of data-mining procedures regardless of the size and complexity of the stored information. Conclusion It is evident that using single-file data storage standards for the design of databases without any structural transformations significantly limits the flexibility of databases. Analysis of the requirements of a specific domain for integration and massive data processing can provide the necessary schema modifications that will unlock the additional functionality of a relational database.

Abstract
A microsphere-based immunoassay (MIA) was previously developed that is capable of determining the presence of anti-West Nile (WN) virus or anti-St. Louis encephalitis (SLE) virus immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibodies in human serum or cerebrospinal fluid. The original data set on which the classification rules were based comprised 491 serum specimens obtained from the serum bank at the Division of Vector-Borne Infectious Diseases of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (DVBID). The classification rules were used to provide a result and to determine whether confirmatory testing was necessary for a given sample. A validation study was coordinated between the DVBID and five state health laboratories to determine (i) the reproducibility of the test between different laboratories, (ii) the correlation between the IgM-enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (MAC-ELISA) and the MIA, and (iii) whether the initial nonspecific parameters could be refined to reduce the volume of confirmatory testing. Laboratorians were trained in the method, and reagents and data analysis software developed at the DVBID were shipped to each validating laboratory. Validating laboratories performed tests on approximately 200 samples obtained from their individual states, the collections of which comprised approximately equal numbers of WN virus-positive and -negative samples, as determined by MAC-ELISA. In addition, 377 samples submitted to the DVBID for arbovirus testing were analyzed using the MIA and MAC-ELISA at the DVBID only. For the specimens tested at both the state and the DVBID laboratories, a correlation of results indicated that the technology is readily transferable between laboratories. The detection of IgM antibodies to WN virus was more consistent than detection of IgM antibodies to SLE virus. Some changes were made to the analysis software that resulted in an improved accuracy of diagnosis.
