Quantitative sandwich enzyme immunoassay

Manufactured by R&D Systems
Sourced in United States, United Kingdom

The Quantitative sandwich enzyme immunoassay is a laboratory equipment used for the quantitative detection and measurement of specific proteins or analytes in a sample. It utilizes the principles of sandwich ELISA, where the target analyte is captured between two antibodies and detected through an enzymatic reaction. This equipment provides a standardized and reliable method for quantifying the concentration of the target analyte in the sample.

We collected the blood samples from patients in the morning (between 07.30 and 10.00 a.m.) after 8 hours of fasting due to diurnal variability of CTx serum on the same day they completed the self-report questionnaire. Serum specimens were stored frozen (-200C) until the time of analysis. IL-6, IL-17, and TNF-α were analyzed by quantitative sandwich enzyme immunoassay (R&D systems, UK). Each cytokine assay was performed on one 96-well plate, and the optical density of each was measured using a microplate reader set to 450 nm. The measuring range for each assay was IL-6, 3.1 -300 pg/mL; IL-17, 31.2 – 2,000 pg/mL; and TNF-α, 15.6 – 1,000 pg/mL.

Serum specimens were used to measure circulating endogenous levels of unconjugated estradiol in addition to 69 inflammation biomarkers spanning multiple aspects of inflammation [29 ] (Supplemental Table 1). Unconjugated estradiol was measured via gas chromatography tandem mass spectrometry [26 (link)]. In a single laboratory, 68 inflammation markers were measured using five Luminex bead-based commercial assay panels (Millipore, Billerica, MA). The 69th marker, transforming growth factor beta-1 (TGF-beta-1), was measured using a quantitative sandwich enzyme immunoassay (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN). Marker concentrations were calculated using a four- or five-parameter logistic curve (Bioplex Manager 6.1, BioRad, Hercules, CA). The high-sensitivity panel used the same manufacturer lot, but the remaining panels were purchased across two lots. We evaluated assay performance by including a blinded duplicate sample from a quality control pool in each batch; information on the quality control is previously published [26 (link)]. For the parent study, the estradiol assay coefficient of variation (CV) was 17.1% with an intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) of 0.97. For the multiplex inflammatory assay, in the parent study, the CVs were on average 9.1% (range 2.7–32.2), with an ICC average of 0.89 (range 0.67–0.99). The study sample CVs are detailed in Supplementary Table 1.

Spinal cord was harvested and weighed sections were homogenized in homogenization buffer. Samples were cold centrifuged and supernatant was used for the examination of IL-1β and TNF-α concentration levels using the quantitative sandwich enzyme immunoassay according to the manufacturer's instructions (R&D Systems, MN, USA). The levels of IL-1β and TNF-α were determined by comparing samples to the standard curve generated from the respective kits at 450 nm and were expressed as pg per mg tissue (spinal cord).

MT-2 and HTLV-1 infected CD4+ cells were harvested, counted, suspended in CM and seeded into 24-well tissue culture plates (Falcon) in 1 ml/well at a concentration of 1x105 cell/ ml. The plates were incubated at 37 °C in a 5 % CO2 humidified atmosphere for 30 min, 1, 3, 6, 12, 24, 48 or 72 h. Each culture was set in triplicate. At each time, cells were analyzed for proinflammatory cytokine production. Culture supernatants of MT-2 and HTLV-1 infected CD4 + cells were collected as control for cytokine detection.
The concentrations of IL-1α, IL-6, and TNF-α were measured in undiluted cell culture supernatants in triplicate by multiplex enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay based on SearchLight™ technology (Thermo Fisher Scientific Pierce Searchlight Products, Woburn, MA). The amount of signal produced is proportional to the amount of each protein in the sample detected with a cooled CCD camera. The assay [24 (link)] is capable of detecting target proteins at pg/ml concentrations.
To detect IL-17 production, a quantitative sandwich enzyme immunoassay (R&D Systems). technique specific for natural and recombinant human protein was used. According to the manufacturer, the detection limit of the assays was approximately 15.0 pg/ml.

The right middle lung lobes were placed in 1 mL of homogenization buffer (4°C). Samples were homogenized and incubated at 4°C for 1 h. The final homogenate was centrifuged at 10,000 rpm for 15 min. Tissue supernatants were used for the determination of MPO and NE activity. MPO activity was measured using an MPO kit (Miltenyi Biotec, Germany) according to the manufacturer's instructions. NE activity was determined using a quantitative sandwich enzyme immunoassay (R&D Systems, USA) following the manufacturer's instructions.

Western blots were performed as described earlier [19 (link)]. Membranes were probed with the primary antibodies: p21 ((C-19)-G), p53 (DO-1), p-p53, HIF-1α (Novus Biologicals, Littleton, USA), gamma-H2AX, TWIST and GAPDH followed by horseradish peroxidase-conjugated anti-mouse, anti-rabbit, or anti-goat IgG-HRP (Santa-Cruz, California, USA). All blots have been generated from triplicate experiments after 6 hours of exposure to DCQ or hypoxia. The concentration of VEGF in the culture supernatant was measured using a quantitative sandwich enzyme immunoassay (R&D Systems Inc., Minneapolis, USA) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. VEGF concentrations were calculated by comparison with a standard curve generated using a 4-parameter logistic curve-fit and on-board software. VEGF concentrations were normalized to amount (pg) per 1 × 106 living cells/10 ml supernatant.

Serum Biomarker Profiling: IL-6, CRP, TNF-aR1

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Non-fasting blood (serum) was drawn at baseline. Aliquots were stored, using customary secure procedures, at −70° C at both field centers. For this analysis, the following soluble protein biomarkers were measured: IL-6, CRP, and TNF-aR1. IL-6 was measured using a solid-phase immunometric assay on the IMMULITE 2000 (Siemens Healthineers). Assay detection was conducted via an enzyme-labeled, sequential assay in which a substrate was converted to the chemiluminescent product. The total imprecision of this method was acceptable as indicated by a 4-6% between-run coefficient of variation. High-sensitivity CRP (hsCRP) was measured using a Vista 1500 (Siemens Healthineers) by immunonephelometry in which polystyrene particles coated with monoclonal antibodies against human CRP aggregate with this protein in samples. The between-run imprecision (coefficient of variation) was typically 4 to 6%. TNF-aR1 was measured using a quantitative sandwich enzyme immunoassay (R&D Systems, Inc) where assay detection was colorimetric. Total imprecision of the runs was acceptable as indicated by a 3-4% between-run coefficient of variation.
