Validation and comprehensive analysis of Streptococcus pneumoniae IgG WHO enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in an Indian reference laboratory

Monitoring serotype-specific IgG levels against pneumococci is crucial for assessing immunity, vaccine efficacy, and evaluating vaccination programs. The WHO ELISA for pneumococci is a standardized assay ensuring consistency in testing and comparability of results across laboratories. It involves a rigorous testing process to confirm accurate, precise and reliable detection of antibodies. We validated the protocol for 13 pneumococcal serotypes by assessing its specificity, reproducibility (coefficient of variation ≤15%), repeatability (coefficient of variation ≤20%), accuracy, lower limit of quantification, stability, and robustness. We found these parameters were within acceptable ranges and showed excellent performance. Our findings imply that the method employed is appropriate for evaluating 13 valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine which is introduced in the national immunization program by comparing pre-and post-vaccination IgG response.
