Protocole: This assay employs a quantitative sandwich enzyme immunoassay technique that measures human Lp(a) in less than 4 hours. A polyclonal antibody specific for human Lp(a) has been pre-coated onto a 96-well microplate with removable strips. Lp(a) in standards and samples is sandwiched by the immobilized antibody and biotinylated polyclonal antibody specific for Lp(a), which is recognized by a streptavidin-peroxidase conjugate. All unbound material is then washed away and a peroxidase enzyme substrate is added. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured.

Préparation des réactifs:

Freshly dilute all reagents and bring all reagents to room temperature before use. If crystals have formed in the concentrate, mix gently until the crystals have completely dissolved. EIA Diluent Concentrate (10x): Dilute the EIA Diluent 1:10 with reagent grade water. Store for up to 1 month at 2-8°C. Standard Curve: Reconstitute the 50 ng of Lp(a) Standard with 1 ml of EIA Diluent to generate a solution of 50 ng/ml. Allow the standard to sit for 10 minutes with gentle agitation prior to making dilutions. Prepare duplicate or triplicate standard points by serially diluting the standard solution (50 ng/ml) 1:2 with equal volume of EIA Diluent to produce 25 12.5, 6.25, 3.13, 1.56 and 0.78 ng/ml solutions. EIA Diluent serves as the zero standard (0 ng/ml). Any remaining solution should be frozen at -20°C.

Procédure de l'essai:

Prepare all reagents, working standards and samples as instructed. Bring all reagents to room temperature before use. The assay is performed at room temperature (20 - 30 °C). Remove excess microplate strips from the plate frame and return them immediately to the foil pouch with desiccant inside. Reseal the pouch securely to minimize exposure to water vapor and store in a vacuum desiccator. Add 50 µL of Lp(a) standard or sample per well. Cover wells with a sealing tape and incubate for two hours. Start the timer after the last sample addition. Wash five times with 200 µL of Wash Buffer manually. Invert the plate each time and decant the contents, hit it 4-5 times on absorbent paper towel to completely remove the liquid. If using a machine wash six times with 300 µL of Wash Buffer and then invert the plate, decant the contents, hit it 4-5 times on absorbent paper towel to completely remove the liquid. 3 Add 50 µL of Biotinylated Lp(a) Antibody to each well and incubate for one hour. Wash a microplate as described above. Add 50 µL of Streptavidin-Peroxidase Conjugate to each well and incubate for 30 minutes. Turn on the microplate reader and set up the program in advance. Wash a microplate as described above. Add 50 µL of Chromogen Substrate per well and incubate for about 10 minutes or till the optimal blue color density develops. Gently tap plate to ensure thorough mixing and break the bubbles in the well with pipette tip. Add 50 µL of Stop Solution to each well. The color will change from blue to yellow. Read the absorbance on a microplate reader at a wavelength of 450 nm immediately. If wavelength correction is available, subtract readings at 570 nm from those at 450 nm to correct optical imperfections. Otherwise, read the plate at 450 nm only. Please note that some unstable black particles may be generated at high concentration points after stopping the reaction for about 10 minutes, which will reduce the readings.

Calcul des résultats:

Calculate the mean value of the triplicate readings for each standard and sample. To generate a Standard Curve, plot the graph using the standard concentrations on the x-axis and the corresponding mean 450 nm absorbance on the y-axis. The best-fit line can be determined by regression analysis using log-log or four-parameter logistic curve-fit. Determine the unknown sample concentration from the Standard Curve and multiply the value by the dilution factor. Standard Curve The curve is provided for illustration only. A standard curve should be generated each time the assay is performed.

Précision du teste: Intra-assay and inter-assay coefficients of variation were 4.5% and 7.1% respectively.

Restrictions: For Research Use only

Détail du antigène

Antigène: LPA (APOA) (Apolipoprotein A (APOA))

Autre désignation: Lipoprotein A (APOA Produits)

Synonymes: AK38 Kit ELISA, APOA Kit ELISA, LP Kit ELISA, Apo(a) Kit ELISA, Lp(a) Kit ELISA, lipoprotein(a) Kit ELISA, LPA Kit ELISA

Sujet: Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] is an atherogenic lipoprotein particle formed by assembly of LDL particles and apo(a) bound to apoB-100 component of LDL. Apo(a) is the main constituent of Lp(a), has serine proteinase activity and is able of autoproteolysis. Apo(a) has 4548 amino acids, variable sizes from 200 to 700 kDa, multiple isoforms, and structural homology with plasminogen (3 - 5). It competes with plasminogen for its binding site, inhibiting tissue-type plasminogen activator 1 and leading to reduced fibrinolysis. The mean Lp(a) protein level ranged from 78 to 175 µg/ml depending on populations and the risk threshold is 300 µg/ml (7 - 9). High level of Lp(a) in blood is a risk factor for myocardial infarction (MI), coronary heart disease (CHD), cerebrovascular disease (CVD), atherosclerosis, thrombosis, and stroke (10 - 11).
