ORM1 ELISA Kit

Catalog No. ABIN956358

Product Details ORM1 ELISA Kit

Target: ORM1 (Orosomucoid 1 (ORM1))

Reactivity: Turkey

Detection Method: Colorimetric

Method Type: Sandwich ELISA

Application: ELISA

Sample Type: Plasma, Serum

Analytical Method: Quantitative

Characteristics: The Turkey -1-AGP ELISA is based on a solid phase enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The assay uses affinity purified anti-turkey -1-AGP antibodies for solid phase (microtiter wells) immobilization and horseradish peroxidase (HRP) conjugated anti-turkey -1-AGP antibodies for detection. The test sample is diluted and incubated in the microtiter wells for 45 minutes. The microtiter wells are subsequently washed and HRP conjugate is added and incubated for 45 minutes. This results in -1-AGP molecules being sandwiched between the immobilization and detection antibodies. The wells are then washed to remove unbound HRP-labeled antibodies and TMB Reagent is added and incubated for 20 minutes at room temperature. This results in the development of a blue color. Color development is stopped by the addition of Stop Solution, changing the color to yellow, and optical density is measured spectrophotometrically at 450 nm. The concentration of -1-AGP is proportional to the optical density of the test sample.

Application Details

Plate: Pre-coated

Sample Preparation:

General Note: Our studies find that -1-AGP may be present in turkey serum at concentrations of 0.05 to 1 mg/mL or greater. In order to obtain values within the range of the calibration curve we suggest that samples initially be diluted 10,000 fold using the following procedure for each sample to be tested:
1. Dispense 495 µL of 1X diluent into two tubes.
2. Pipette and mix 5 µL of the serum/plasma sample into the first tube containing 495 µL of 1X diluent. This provides a 100 fold diluted sample.
3. Mix 5 µL of the 100 fold diluted sample with the 495 µL of diluent in the second tube. This provides a 10,000 fold dilution of the sample.
4. Repeat this procedure for each sample to be tested.

Assay Procedure:

1. Secure the desired number of coated wells in the holder.
   2. Dispense 100 µL of calibrators and samples into the wells (we recommend that samples be tested in duplicate).
   3. Incubate on an orbital micro-plate shaker at 100-150 rpm at room temperature (18-25°C) for 45 minutes.
   4. Remove the incubation mixture using a plate washer or by flicking plate contents into an appropriate Bio-waste container.
   5. Wash and empty the microtiter wells 5 times with 1X wash solution. This may be performed using either a plate washer (400 µL/well) or with a squirt bottle. The entire wash procedure should be performed as quickly as possible.
   6. Strike the wells sharply onto adsorbent paper or paper towels to remove all residual droplets.
   7. Add 100 µL of enzyme conjugate reagent into each well.
   8. Incubate on an orbital micro-plate shaker at 100-150 rpm at room temperature (18-25°C) for 45 minutes.
   9. Wash as detailed in 4 and 5 above.
   10. Strike the wells sharply onto absorbent paper or paper towels to remove residual droplets.
   11. Dispense 100 µL of TMB Reagent into each well.
   12. Gently mix on an orbital micro-plate shaker at 100-150 rpm at room temperature (18-25°C) for 20 minutes.
   13. Stop the reaction by adding 100 µL of Stop Solution to each well.
   14. Gently mix. It is important to make sure that all the blue color changes to yellow.
   15. Read the optical density at 450 nm with a microtiter plate reader within 15 minutes.

Calculation of Results:

1. Calculate the average absorbance values (A450) for each set of reference calibrators, and samples.
   2. Construct a calibration curve by plotting the mean absorbance obtained from each reference calibrator against its concentration in ng/mL on linear graph paper, with absorbance values on the vertical or Y-axis and concentrations on the horizontal or X-axis.
   3. Using the mean absorbance value for each sample, determine the corresponding concentration of -1-AGP in ng/mL from the calibration curve.
   4. Multiply the derived concentrations by the dilution factor to determine the actual concentration of -1-AGP in the serum/plasma sample.
   5. If available, PC graphing software may be used for the above steps.
   6. If the OD450 values of samples fall outside the calibration curve when tested at the suggested dilution of 10,000, samples should be diluted appropriately and re-tested.

Restrictions: For Research Use only

Handling

Storage: 4 °C

Storage Comment: The unused kit should be stored at 4°C and the microtiter plate should be kept in a sealed bag with desiccant to minimize exposure to damp air. Test kits will remain stable until the expiration date provided that the components are stored as described above.

Expiry Date: The expiry date is stated on the label.

Background: Alpha-1-AGP is an acute phase protein that is elevated in turkey serum as a result of injury. Studies have demonstrated that plasma alpha-1-AGP levels may increase six fold or more in turkeys during the acute phase response. As such, alpha-1-AGP is a useful marker of injury and infection.
