Human erythropoietin (EPO) ELISA kit instruction manual

Human erythropoietin (EPO) ELISA kit

  ( used in serum, plasma, cell culture supernatants and other biological fluids )

principle

This experiment used double antibody sandwich ABC-ELISA. The anti-human EPO monoclonal antibody is coated on the microplate, the EPO in the standard and the sample is combined with the monoclonal antibody, biotinylated anti-human EPO is added, and the immune complex is formed on the plate, horseradish peroxidase The labeled Streptavidin is combined with biotin, and the substrate working solution is blue. Finally, the stop solution sulfuric acid is added, and the OD value is measured at 450 nm. The EPO concentration is proportional to the OD value, and the EPO concentration in the sample can be obtained by drawing a standard curve.

Kit composition ( 2-8 ° C preservation)

Prepare reagents and collect blood samples

1. Collection of specimens: serum, plasma (EDTA anticoagulation), cell culture supernatant, tissue homogenate, etc., as soon as possible, stored at 2-8 ° C for 48 hours; longer time must be frozen (-20 °C or -70 °C) Save to avoid repeated freezing and thawing.

2. Standard solution preparation: Add 1 ml of distilled water before use and mix well to prepare a solution of 400 mIU/ml. Set 8 tubes of standard tubes, and add 300 ul of standard dilution solution to each tube. Add 300 ul of standard solution of 400 mIU/ml to the first tube, mix and aspirate 300 ul with a sampler, and transfer to a second tube. Repeat the dilution in this way, and remove 300 ul from the seventh tube and discard it. The eighth tube is a blank control.

3. The 10× specimen dilution was diluted 1:10 with distilled water (example: 1 ml concentrated dilution + 9 ml distilled water).

4. Washing solution: diluted 1:20 with distilled water (example: 1 ml concentrated washing solution added to 19 ml of distilled water)

Test procedure

1. Loading: Add 100 ul of standard or sample to be tested in each well. Mix the reaction plate thoroughly and let it stand at 37 °C for 120 minutes.

2. Wash the plate: Wash the plate thoroughly with washing solution 4-6 times, and dry it on the filter paper.

3. Add 100 ul of the first antibody working solution to each well. The reaction plate was thoroughly mixed and placed at 37 ° C for 60 minutes.

4. Wash the board: the same as before.

5. Add 100 ul of enzyme-labeled antibody working solution per well. The reaction plate was placed at 37 ° C for 30 minutes.

6. Wash the board: same as before.

7. Add 100 ul of substrate working solution per well, set 37 The reaction was carried out in the dark at °C for 15 minutes.

8. Add 100 ul of stop solution to each well and mix.

9. Measure the absorbance at 450 nm using a microplate reader within 30 minutes.

Result calculation and judgment

1. All OD values ​​should be subtracted from the blank value before calculation.

2. Take standard products 200, 100, 50, 25, 12.5, 6.25, 3.12, 0 mIU/ml as the abscissa and OD as the ordinate. Draw on the coordinate paper and draw the standard curve.

3. Find the corresponding EPO content on the graph based on the OD value of the sample.

Kit performance

1. Sensitivity: The minimum EPO detection concentration is less than 1.6mIU/ml.

2. Specificity: Recombinant or natural human EPO can be detected simultaneously. Does not cross-react with other human cytokines.

3. Repeatability: The coefficient of variation in both the plate and the plate is less than 10%.

Precautions

1. It is recommended to make double holes for the above standard holes and samples to be tested. The standard curve should be made at the same time for each measurement.

2. The washing process is critical. Insufficient washing will result in an accuracy error and an erroneous rise in the OD value.

3. After the slats are opened, the remaining slats should be sealed again to keep the slats dry .

4. This kit should be stored in a 4 ^o C refrigerator.

5. This kit is for scientific research only and cannot be used for clinical diagnosis!
