    Abstract Rheumatoid factors (RFs) are useful for diagnosis and classification of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Nephelometric and turbidimetric techniques, which detect total RF but do not reveal the antibody isotype, are common diagnostic methods in clinical routine. Given the recent development of isotype-specific immunoassays, the detection of IgG, IgM, and IgA RFs represents an interesting challenge. The aim of the study was to evaluate whether specific RF tests performed as a second step after traditional nephelometry could help differentiating RA from other RF-positive diseases. We tested 117 consecutive serum samples that were RF-positive at nephelometry (BNII nephelometric analyzer, Siemens) for IgA, IgG, and IgM RF isotypes by a fluoroimmunoenzymatic assay (FEIA) on the Phadia 250 instrument (ThermoFisher). Fifty-five subjects had RA and 62 presented non-RA diagnoses. Eighteen sera (15.4%) were positive only by nephelometry, two were positive only for IgA RF, and the remaining 97 sera were all positive for IgM RF isotype (with or without IgG and IgA RF). Positive findings did not correlate with RA or non-RA diagnosis. Spearman rho correlation coefficient between nephelometric total RF and IgM isotype was moderate (0.657), and weak between total RF and IgA (0.396) and IgG (0.360) isotypes. Despite its low specificity, measurement of total RF by nephelometry still seems to be the method that performs best. As IgM, IgA, and IgG RF isotypes showed only a moderate correlation with total RF measurement, their diagnostic use as a second level test remains controversial.

    Abstract Objectives: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic autoimmune disease characterised by the presence of autoantibodies that are used for classification of the disease. Though routine diagnostics is commonly restricted to measuring rheumatoid factor (RF) and anti-citrullinated protein antibodies, detection of RF IgM, IgG and IgA isotypes, may increase the power of RA serodiagnosis by reducing the number of seronegative patients as well as provide prognostic information. The agglutination-based RF assays, such as nephelometry or turbidimetry, are unable to differentiate isotypes. We compared three different immunoassays used in current laboratory practice to detect RF isotypes.
    Methods: We tested 117 consecutive serum samples that were positive for total RF at nephelometry, from 55 RA and 62 non-RA subjects. IgA, IgG, and IgM isotypes of RF were tested by immunoenzymatic (ELISA, Technogenetics), fluoroenzymatic (FEIA, ThermoFisher) and chemiluminescence (CLIA, YHLO Biotech Co.) immunoassays.
    Results: Diagnostic performance differed considerably between the assays, especially with regard to RF IgG isotype. Agreement among methods by Cohen's kappa ranged from 0.05 (RF IgG CLIA vs. FEIA) to 0.846 (RF IgM CLIA vs. FEIA).
    Conclusions: The poor agreement observed in this study indicates substantial lack of comparability among assays for RF isotypes. Harmonization of these tests requires further efforts before their measurement can be used in clinical practice.
