Beschreibung: ICAM-1 (Inter-Cellular Adhesion Molecule 1) also known as CD54 (Cluster of Differentiation 54) is a human gene. The protein encoded by this gene is a type of intercellular adhesion molecule continuously present in low concentrations in the membranes of leukocytes and endothelial cells. Upon cytokine stimulation, the concentrations greatly increase. ICAM-1 can be induced by interleukin-1 (IL-1) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) and is expressed by the vascular endothelium, macrophages, and lymphocytes. ICAM-1 is a ligand for LFA-1 (integrin), a receptor found on leukocytes. When activated, leukocytes bind to endothelial cells via ICAM-1/LFA-1 and then transmigrate into tissues.

Spezifität: This assay recognizes rabbit ICAM-1. No significant cross-reactivity or interference was observed.

Anwendungen

Prinzip: The microtiter plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with an antibody specific to ICAM-1. Standards or samples are then added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells with a biotin-conjugated antibody preparation specific for ICAM-1 and Avidin conjugated to Horseradish 3 Peroxidase (HRP) is added to each microplate well and incubated. Then a TMB (3,3',5,5' tetramethyl-benzidine) substrate solution is added to each well. Only those wells that contain ICAM-1, biotin-conjugated antibody and enzyme-conjugated Avidin will exhibit a change in color. The enzyme-substrate reaction is terminated by the addition of a sulphuric acid solution and the color change is measured spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 450 nm ± 2 nm. The concentration of ICAM-1 in the samples is then determined by comparing the O.D. of the samples to the standard curve.

Protokoll: Preparation of Reagents: Bring all reagents to room temperature before use. 1. Wash Buffer If crystals have formed in the concentrate, warm up 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. 2. Standard Reconstitute the Standard with 1.0 ml of Sample Diluent. This reconstitution produces a stock solution of 4000 pg/ml. Allow the standard to sit for a minimum of 15 minutes with 6 gentle agitation prior to making serial dilutions. The undiluted standard serves as the high standard (4000 pg/ml). The Sample Diluent serves as the zero standard (0 pg/ml). 3. Biotin-antibody Dilute to the working concentration using Biotin-antibody Diluent(1:100), respectively. 4. HRP-avidin Dilute to the working concentration using HRP-avidin Diluent(1:100), respectively. Precaution: The Stop Solution provided with this kit is an acid solution. Wear eye, hand, face, and clothing protection when using this material. Sample Collection and Storage: Serum Use a serum separator tube (SST) and allow samples to clot for 30 minutes before centrifugation for 15 minutes at 1000 g. 7 Remove serum and assay immediately or aliquot and store samples at -20° C. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Plasma Collect plasma using citrate, EDTA, or heparin as an anticoagulant. Centrifuge for 15 minutes at 1000 g within 30 minutes of collection. Assay immediately or aliquot and store samples at -20°C. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Assay Procedure: 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 ICAM-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. Limitations of the Procedure: The kit should not be used beyond the expiration date on the kit label. Do not mix or substitute reagents with those from other lots or 10 sources. It is important that the Calibrator Diluent selected for the standard curve be consistent with the samples being assayed. If samples generate values higher than the highest standard, dilute the samples with the appropriate Calibrator 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. This assay is designed to eliminate interference by soluble receptors, 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.
