Application Details

Sample Volume: 100 μL

Plate: Pre-coated

Protocol: This assay employs the quantitative sandwich enzyme immunoassay technique. A monoclonal 2 antibody specific for IGF-1 has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and any IGF-1 present is bound by the immobilized antibody. An enzyme-linked polyclonal antibody specific for IGF-1 is added to the wells. Following a wash to remove any unbound antibody-enzyme reagent, a substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of IGF-1 bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured.

Reagent Preparation:

Bring all reagents to room temperature before use. Wash Buffer - If crystals have formed in the concentrate, warm to room temperature and mix gently until the crystals have completely dissolved. Dilute 20 mL of Wash Buffer Concentrate into deionized or distilled water to prepare 500 mL of Wash Buffer. Standard - Reconstitute the Standard with 1.0 mL of Sample Diluent. This reconstitution produces a stock solution of 10 ng/mL. Allow the standard to sit for a minimum of 15 minutes with gentle agitation prior to making serial dilutions. The undiluted standard serves as the high standard (10 ng/mL). The Sample Diluent serves as the zero standard (0 ng/mL). Detection Reagent A and B - Dilute to the working concentration specified on the vial label using Assay Diluent A and B (1:100), respectively.

Sample Collection: Cell culture supernates - Remove particulates by centrifugation and assay immediately or aliquot and store samples at ≤ -20 °C. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Serum - Use a serum separator tube (SST) and allow samples to clot for 30 minutes before centrifugation for 15 minutes at approximately 1000 x g. Remove serum and assay immediately or aliquot and store samples at -20 °C. Plasma - Collect plasma using EDTA or heparin as an anticoagulant. Centrifuge samples for 15 minutes at 1000 x g at 2 - 8 °C within 30 minutes of collection. Store samples at ≤ -20 °C. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Note: Citrate plasma has not been validated for use in this assay.

Assay Procedure:

Allow all reagents to reach room temperature. Arrange and label required number of strips.
1. Prepare all reagents, working standards and samples as directed in the previous sections.
2. Add 100 uL of Standard, Control, or sample* per well. Cover with the adhesive strip. Incubate for 2 hours at 37 °C.
3. Remove the liquid of each well, don’t wash.
4. Add 100 uL of Detection Reagent A to each well. Incubate for 1 hour at 37°C. Detection Reagent A may appear cloudy. Warm to room temperature and mix gently until solution appears uniform.
5. Aspirate each well and wash, repeating the process three times for a total of three washes. Wash by filling each well with Wash Buffer (350 uL) using a squirt bottle, multi-channel pipette, manifold dispenser or autowasher. Complete removal of liquid at each step is essential to good performance. After the last wash, remove any remaining Wash Buffer by aspirating or decanting. Invert the plate and blot it against clean paper towels.
6. Add 100 uL of Detection Reagent B to each well. Cover with a new adhesive strip.Incubate for 1 hours at 37 °C.
7. Repeat the aspiration/wash as in step
5. 8. Add 90 uL of Substrate Solution to each well. Incubate for 30 minutes at room temperature. Protect from light.
9. Add 50 uL of Stop Solution to each well. If color change does not appear uniform, gently tap the plate to ensure thorough mixing.
10. Determine the optical density of each well within 30 minutes, using a microplate reader set to 450 nm.
Important Note:1. The wash procedure is critical. Insufficient washing will result in poor precision and falsely elevated absorbance readings. 4
2. It is recommended that no more than 32 wells be used for each assay run if manual pipetting is used since pipetting of all standards, specimens and controls should be completed within 5 minutes. A full plate of 96 wells may be used if automated pipetting is available.
3. Duplication of all standards and specimens, although not required, is recommended.
4. When mixing or reconstituting protein solutions, always avoid foaming.
5. To avoid cross-contamination, change pipette tips between additions of each standard level, between sample additions, and between reagent additions. Also, use separate reservoirs for each reagent.
6. To ensure accurate results, proper adhesion of plate sealers during incubation steps is necessary.

Calculation of Results:

Average the duplicate readings for each standard, control, and sample and subtract the average zero standard optical density. Create a standard curve by reducing the data using computer software capable of generating a four parameter logistic (4-PL) curve-fit. As an alternative, construct a standard curve by plotting the mean absorbance for each standard on the y-axis against the concentration on the x-axis and draw a best fit curve through the points on the graph. The data may be linearized by plotting the log of the IGF-1 concentrations versus the log of the O.D. and the best fit line can be determined by regression analysis. This procedure will produce an adequate but less precise fit of the data. If samples have been diluted, the concentration read from the standard curve must be multiplied by the dilution factor.

Restrictions: For Research Use only

Handling

Handling Advice: 1. The kit should not be used beyond the expiration date on the kit label.
2. Do not mix or substitute reagents with those from other lots or sources.
3. If samples generate values higher than the highest standard, further dilute the samples with the Assay Diluent and repeat the assay. Any variation in standard diluent, operator, pipetting technique, washing technique,incubation time or temperature, and kit age can cause variation in binding.
4. This assay is designed to eliminate interference by soluble receptors, ligands, binding proteins, and other factors present in biological samples. Until all factors have been tested in the Immunoassay, the possibility of interference cannot be excluded.
3.

Storage: 4 °C/-20 °C

Storage Comment: The Standard, Detection Reagent A, Detection Reagent B and the 96-well strip plate should be stored at -20 °C upon being received. The other reagents can be stored at 4 °C.

Background: Insulin-like Growth Factor I (IGF-I), also known as somatomedin C, is a member of the insulin superfamily. It was originally discovered as a mediator of growth hormone actions on somatic cell growth, but has also been shown to be an important regulator of cell metabolism, differentiation and survival. IGF-I is synthesized as a preproprotein that is proteolytically cleaved to generate the mature protein linked by three disulfide bonds. Mature IGF-I is highly conserved among mammals, with 100% sequence identity between the Porcine, bovine, porcine, equine and canine proteins. IGF-I is synthesized in the liver and multiple other tissues. It is found in blood and other body fluids as a complex with specific high affinity IGF binding proteins (IGFBP-1to-6). The IGFBPs are expressed in specific patterns during development. They are modulators of IGF actions, which control IGF bioavailability to specific cell-surface receptors. Their functions are further regulated by IGFBP proteases, which proteolytically cleave the IGFBPs to lower the affinity with which they bind IGFs and increase IGF bioavailability. Some IGFBPs also have IGF-independent effects on cell functions. IGF-I circulates primarily as a ternary complex with IGFBP-3 or IGFBP-5 and the acid-labile subunit (ALS). Some IGF-I is also present in binary complexes with other IGFBPs. Whereas the ternary complexes are generally restricted to the vasculature, the binary complexes freely enter the tissues. IGF-I actions are mediated by two type I transmembrane receptor tyrosine kinases: the IGF-I receptor (IGF-I R), and the insulin receptor (INS R) that exists in two alternatively spliced isoforms (INS R-A and -B). Both IGF-I R and INS R share a highly homologous structure and are ubiquitously expressed. Functional IGF-I receptors are tetrameric glycoproteins composed of two disulfide-linked IGF-I Rs or disulfide-linked hybrids of one IGF-I R and one INS R. Whereas IGF-I binds with high-affinity to homodimeric IGF-I R and heterdimeric IGF-I R:INS R-A or –B hybrids, high-affinity binding of insulin is observed only with dimeric INS R or IGF-I R:INS R-A hybrid but not with IGF-I R:INS R-B hybrid. The signaling responses from the various receptors are different depending whether insulin or IGF-I is used as the activating ligand.
