Target: Azurocidin (AZU1) (Azurocidin 1 (AZU1))

Reaktivität: Human

Nachweismethode: Colorimetric

Methodentyp: Sandwich ELISA

Applikation: ELISA

Verwendungszweck: The AssayMax™ Human Azurocidin ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) kit is designed for detection of human azurocidin in plasma, serum, urine, saliva, milk, CSF, and cell culture samples. This assay employs a quantitative sandwich enzyme immunoassay technique that measures human azurocidin in approximately 4 hours. A polyclonal antibody specific for human azurocidin has been pre-coated onto a 96-well microplate with removable strips. Azurocidin in standards and samples is sandwiched by the immobilized antibody and a biotinylated polyclonal antibody specific for human azurocidin, which is recognized by a streptavidin-peroxidase (SP) conjugate. All unbound material is washed away and a peroxidase enzyme substrate is added. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured.

Aufbereitung der Reagenzien:

Freshly dilute all reagents and bring all reagents to room temperature before use. EIA Diluent Concentrate (10x): If crystals have formed in the concentrate, mix gently until the crystals have completely dissolved. Dilute the EIA Diluent Concentrate 10-fold with reagent grade water to produce a 1x solution. Store for up to 30 days at 2-8 °C. Human Azurocidin Standard: Reconstitute the Human Azurocidin Standard (120 ng) with 0.6 mL of EIA Diluent to generate a 200 ng/mL standard stock solution. Allow the vial to sit for 10 minutes with gentle agitation prior to making dilutions. Prepare duplicate or triplicate standard points by serially diluting from the standard stock solution (200 ng/mL) 2-fold with equal volume of EIA Diluent to produce 100, 50, 25, 12.5, 6.25, and 3.125 ng/mL solutions. EIA Diluent serves as the zero standard (0 ng/mL). Any remaining stock solution should be used within 24 hours. Use fresh standard each day. Do not re-freeze. 5 Standard Point Dilution [Azurocidin] (ng/mL) P1 1 part Standard (200 ng/mL) 200 P2 1 part P1 + 1 part EIA Diluent 100 P3 1 part P2 + 1 part EIA Diluent 50 P4 1 part P3 + 1 part EIA Diluent 25 P5 1 part P4 + 1 part EIA Diluent 12.5 P6 1 part P5 + 1 part EIA Diluent 6.25 P7 1 part P6 + 1 part EIA Diluent 3.125 P8 EIA Diluent 0.0 Biotinylated Human Azurocidin Antibody (50x): Spin down the antibody briefly and dilute the desired amount of the antibody 50-fold with EIA Diluent to produce a 1x solution.

Testdurchführung:

Prepare all reagents, standard solutions, and samples as instructed. Bring all reagents to room temperature before use. The assay is performed at room temperature (20-25 °C). Remove excess microplate strips from the plate frame and return them immediately to the foil pouch with desiccants inside. Reseal the pouch securely to minimize exposure to water vapor and store in a vacuum desiccator. Add 50 l of Human Azurocidin Standard or sample to each well. Gently tap plate to thoroughly coat the wells. Break any bubbles that may have formed. Cover wells with a sealing tape and incubate for 2 hours. Start the timer after the last addition. Wash five times with 200 l of Wash Buffer manually. Invert the plate each time and decant the contents, hit 4-5 times on absorbent material to completely remove the liquid. If using a machine, wash six times with 300 l of Wash Buffer and then invert the plate, decanting the contents, hit 4-5 times on absorbent material to completely remove the liquid. Add 50 l of Biotinylated Human Azurocidin Antibody to each well. Gently tap plate to thoroughly coat the wells. Break any bubbles that 6 may have formed. Cover wells with a sealing tape and incubate for 1 hour. Wash the microplate as described above. Add 50 l of SP Conjugate to each well. Gently tap plate to thoroughly coat the wells. Break any bubbles that may have formed. Cover wells with a sealing tape and incubate for 30 minutes. Turn on the microplate reader and set up the program in advance. Wash the microplate as described above. Add 50 l of Chromogen Substrate to each well. Gently tap plate to thoroughly coat the wells. Break any bubbles that may have formed. Incubate for 12 minutes or until the optimal blue color density develops. Add 50 l of Stop Solution to each well. The color will change from blue to yellow. Gently tap plate to ensure thorough mixing. Break any bubbles that may have formed. 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.

Ergebnisberechnung:

• Calculate the mean value of the duplicate or 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 (OD) 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.

Hintergrund: Azurocidin, also known as cationic antimicrobial protein CAP37, is a neutrophil granule-derived antibacterial and monocyte- and fibroblast-specific chemotactic glycoprotein. It consists of 222 amino acid residues and has a molecular mass of 37 kDa (1-2). Azurocidin binds heparin and has antibacterial activity against the Gram-negative pathogens. It is an inflammatory mediator constitutively expressed in neutrophils and induced in response to infection, cytokines, and lipopolysaccharides. It plays a significant role in host defense against infection and modulates host cell functions. Azurocidin modulates smooth muscle cells and corneal epithelial cell proliferation and migration. It also activates the protein kinase C pathway and upregulates adhesion molecules (3-4).
