    Purpose
    The AssayMax HDL ELISA kit is designed for detection of HDL in plasma, serum, milk, and cell culture supernatant. This assay employs a quantitative competitive enzyme immunoassay technique that measures HDL in less than 3 hours. A polyclonal antibody specific for HDL has been pre-coated onto a 96-well microplate with removable strips. HDL in standards and samples is competed with a biotinylated HDL sandwiched by the immobilized antibody and 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.

    Reagent Preparation

    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 1:10 with reagent grade water. Store for up to 1 month at 2-8°C.
    Standard Curve: Reconstitute the 800 µg of HDL Standard with 2 mL of EIA Diluent to generate a solution of 400 µg/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 (400 µg/mL) 1:2 with equal volume of EIA Diluent to generate 200, 100, 50, 25, 12.5, and 6.25 µg/mL solutions. EIA Diluent serves as the zero standard (0 µg/mL). Any remaining solution should be frozen at -20°C.
    Biotinylated HDL (1x): Dilute Biotinylated HDL with 4 mL EIA Diluent to produce a working solution. Allow the biotin to sit for 10 minutes with gentle agitation prior to use. Any remaining solution should be frozen at -20°C.
    Wash Buffer Concentrate (20x): If crystals have formed in the concentrate, mix gently until the crystals have completely dissolved. Dilute the Wash Buffer Concentrate 1:20 with reagent grade water.
    SP Conjugate (100x): Spin down the SP Conjugate briefly and dilute the desired amount of the conjugate 1:100 with EIA Diluent. Any remaining solution should be frozen at -20°C.

    Sample Preparation

    Plasma: Collect plasma using one-tenth volume of 0.1 M sodium citrate as an anticoagulant. Centrifuge samples at 2000 x g for 10 minutes and assay. Dilute human plasma 1:40 into EIA Diluent. The undiluted samples can be stored at -20°C or below for up to 3 months. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. (EDTA or Heparin can also be used as anticoagulant.)
    Serum: Samples should be collected into a serum separator tube. After clot formation, centrifuge samples at 2000 x g for 10 minutes. Remove serum and assay. Dilute human serum 1:40 into EIA Diluent. The undiluted samples can be stored at -20°C or below for up to 3 months. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
    Cell Culture Supernatants: Centrifuge cell culture media at 2000 x g for 10 minutes to remove debris. Collect supernatants and assay. The undiluted samples can be stored at - 20°C or below for up to 3 months. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
    Milk: Collect milk using sample tube. Centrifuge samples at 800 x g for 10 minutes. Dilute milk samples1:4 into EIA Diluent. The undiluted samples can be stored at -20°C or below for up to 3 months. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

    Assay Procedure

    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 25 µL of Standard and/or Sample per well, and immediately add 25 µL of Biotinylated HDL to each well (on top of the standard or sample). Cover wells with a sealing tape and incubate for two hours at room temperature. 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.
    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 the microplate as described above.
    Add 50 µL of Chromogen Substrate per well and incubate for about 15 minutes or until 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.

    Calculation of Results

    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 on the y-axis. The best-fit line can be determined by regression analysis using four-parameter or log-log logistic curve-fit.
    Determine the unknown sample concentration from the Standard Curve and multiply the value by the dilution factor.

    Assay Precision
    Intra-assay and inter-assay coefficients of variation were 4.9 % and 7.2 % respectively.

    Background
    Human High-density lipoprotein (HDL) is the smallest and the densest of the discoidal and spherical lipoprotein particles. When fractionated by ultracentrifugation, HDL is separated into two major sub-fractions HDL2 (d 1.063–1.125 g/mL) and HDL3 (d 1.125–1.21 g/mL). It contains 70% of apolipoprotein A-I, 20% of apolipoprotein A-II, phospholipids, and free cholesterol. HDL delivers cholesterol to liver cells which then secrete bile acids and cholesterol for excretion or re-utilization. HDL plays important anti-atherogenic roles, including cellular cholesterol efflux capacity, anti-oxidative, anti-inflammatory, antiapoptotic, vasodilatory, antithrombotic, and anti-infectious activities. Low plasma HDL cholesterol is an independent risk factor for the development of premature atherosclerosis. A rare form of genetic HDL deficiency is Tangier disease which is associated with mutations in the ATP-binding cassette transporter 1 gene.
