Access ostase assay

Manufactured by Beckman Coulter
Sourced in China, United States

The Access Ostase assay is a laboratory test used to measure the levels of bone-specific alkaline phosphatase in the blood. This enzyme is produced by active bone-forming cells and provides information about bone formation activity.

Serum samples were collected on days 1 and 2; predose on days 8, 15, 22, 28; on day 64; and every 4 weeks thereafter and were analyzed for soluble MET, HGF, PlGF, VEGF-R2, c-Kit, sFlt-1, VEGF, sCTx, P1NP, and BALP. Pharmacodynamic effects were evaluated using time profiles with the mean ratio to baseline and standard error bars by treatment arms.
Levels of soluble MET, PlGF, VEGF, VEGF-R2, c-Kit, and sFlt-1 were quantified using multiplexed sandwich immunoassays with electrochemiluminescent detection (Meso Scale Discovery, Rockville, MD) following the manufacturer's instructions. Levels of HGF were analyzed using an analyte-specific enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA; R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN) following the manufacturer's instructions and were compared to a standard curve. Samples were prepared and analyzed as previously described [36 (link)]. Levels of sCTx were quantified using the Serum Crosslaps ELISA (IDS Nordic, Herlev, Denmark) following the manufacturer's instructions. Levels of P1NP were quantified by radioimmunoassay (RIA) using the UniQ PINP RIA kit following the manufacturer's instructions and were compared to a standard curve (Covance Laboratories). Levels of BALP were quantified using the Access Ostase assay, a one-step immunoenzymatic assay, following the manufacturer's instructions (Beckman Coulter, Indianapolis, IN).

At baseline and week 12, venous blood was collected in the ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid tube (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA, USA) and serum-separated tube (BD Biosciences). The plasma was separated by centrifugation at 1500× g, 4 °C for 10 min, and serum was centrifuged at 1910× g, 4 °C, for 15 min. Serum osteocalcin (OC) was measured by electrochemiluminescence (Elecsys N-MID Osteocalcin ELISA Kit, Roche Diagnostics GmbH, Mannheim, Germany). Plasma C-telopeptide fragment (CTx), plasma N-telopeptide fragment (NTx), and serum bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (BALP) were assessed by the Elecsys β-CrossLaps/serum assay (Roche Diagnostics GmbH), enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kit (Cusabio Biotech, Wuhan, China), and the Access Ostase assay (Beckman Coulter, Fullerton, CA, USA), respectively. Estradiol, FSH, and LH levels were determined by the Cobas e801 analyzer (Roche Diagnostics GmbH).

Osteoporosis Induction and Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The osteoporosis induction was done in the 50 dayold rats through the intramuscular administration of dexamethasone disodium phosphate (Decadron ® 4 mg/ml) at the dose level of 7 mg/Kg of body weight, once a week, during five weeks in all groups, except in the control group (Lucinda et al. 2010a (Lucinda et al. , b, 2013)) . The blood samples were centrifuged at 3000 rpm for 10 min and the serum was stored at -80 ºC during three months. Serum bone specific alkaline phosphatase (BAP) was measured using Access
Ostase assay (Beckman access, Beckman Coulter Inc. Fullerton, CA, USA) (Gao et al. 2011 ). The right tibias were removed and stored at -20 ºC for 30 days until the analysis, afterward they were thawed at room temperature for four hours. Finally, the tibias were placed centrally in their anatomical position on the scanner table.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
