Objective: To compare ELISA with multiplex assay for anti-deamidated gliadin peptide (anti-DGP) IgG and anti-tissue transglutaminase (anti-tTG) IgA antibodies detection in order to identify the best according to sensivity and specificity.

Methods: 101 patients with suspicion or diagnostic of celiac disease (CD) were selected. Each serum was tested by ELISA (Orgentec Diagnostika) and multiplex assay (Bioplex 2200, Bio-Rad) for the anti-DGP IgG and anti-tTG IgA autoantibodies quantification. The association with clinical features was examinated by systematical review of the clinical histories. Also previous CD markers determinations, biopsy and HLA features were studied.

Results: Compared to the clinical, biopsy and HLA features, the ELISA showed a sensitivity of 96.15% and a specificity of 38.09 (Positive predictive value (PPV): 79.36%; Negative predictive value (NPV): 80%), whereas multiplex assay had a sensitivity of 79.59% and a specificity of 100% (PPV: 100%; NPV: 68.75%) for anti-DGP IgG antibodies detection. Furthermore, the ELISA showed a sensitivity of 68.42% and a specificity of 100% (PPV: 100%; NPV: 93.18%), and multiplex assay had a sensitivity of 100% and a specificity of 96.34% (PPV: 86.36%; NPV: 100%) for anti-tTG IgA antibodies testing.

Conclusions: Taking into consideration the previous CD markers determination and clinical, biopsy and HLA features, ELISA showed a higher sensitivity for anti-DGP IgG antibodies, but specificity was better for multiplex assay. In addition, ELISA showed a higher specificity and multiplex had a better sensitivity for anti-tTG IgA antibodies detection.
