Experimental principle and overview of ELISA kit

1. Experimental principle of ELISA kit

ELISA is based on immunological reaction, a highly sensitive test technique that combines the specific reactions of antigen and antibody with the efficient catalytic effect of enzyme on substrate. Since the reaction of antigen and antibody is carried out in the well of a solid phase carrier-polystyrene microtiter plate, after each reagent is added to the incubation, excess free reactants can be removed by washing to ensure the specificity of the test results With stability. In practical applications, through different designs, there are many specific method steps. Namely: indirect method for detecting antibodies, double antibody sandwich method for detecting antigens, and antigen competition method for detecting small molecule antigens or haptens, etc. More commonly used are ELISA double antibody sandwich method and ELISA indirect method.

2. Operation steps of ELISA kit

Method 1: Double antibody sandwich method for detecting unknown antigens:

1. Coating: use 0.05M PH9. Carbonate coating buffer to dilute the antibody to a protein content of 1 ~ 10μg / ml. Add 0.1ml to the reaction well of each polystyrene plate and overnight at 4 ℃. The next day, the solution in the well was discarded and washed 3 times with washing buffer for 3 minutes each time. (Referred to as washing, the same below).

2. Sample addition: add 0.1ml of the diluted sample to be tested to the coated wells, and incubate at 37 ℃ for 1 hour. Then wash. (Make blank wells, negative control wells and positive control wells at the same time).

3. Add enzyme-labeled antibody: add fresh diluted enzyme-labeled antibody (diluted after titration) to each reaction well, incubate at 37 ℃ for 0.5 to 1 hour, and wash.

4. Color development by adding substrate liquid: Add 0.1ml of temporarily prepared TMB substrate solution to each reaction well at 37 ℃ for 10-30 minutes.

5. Terminate the reaction: Add 0.05ml of 2M sulfuric acid to each reaction well.

6. Judgment of results: The results can be observed directly with the naked eye on a white background: the darker the color in the reaction well, the stronger the positive degree, and the negative reaction is colorless or extremely light. "-" Indicates. OD value can also be measured: on ELISA detector, at 450nm (410nm if ABTS color is developed), the OD value of each well is measured after zero adjustment with a blank control well, if it is greater than 2.1 times the OD value of the specified negative control , That is positive.

Method 2: Indirect method for detecting unknown antibodies:

Dilute the known antigen to 1 ~ 10μg / ml with coating buffer, add 0,1ml to each well, and overnight at 4 ℃. Wash 3 times the next day.

Add a certain dilution of the test sample (unknown antibody) 0.1ml to the coated wells, incubate at 37 ° C for 1 hour, and wash. (Make blank, negative and positive well control at the same time) Add 0.1ml fresh diluted enzyme-labeled secondary antibody (anti-antibody) to the reaction well, incubate at 37 ° C for 30-60 minutes, wash, and wash with DDW one last time.

The rest of the steps are the same as 4, 5 and 6 of the "double antibody sandwich method".

4. Precautions for ELISA kit

1. During the formal test, the test conditions should be controlled by the positive control and the negative control, respectively, and the samples to be tested should be made in duplicate to ensure the accuracy of the experimental results. Sometimes the background is high, indicating a non-specific reaction, which can be blocked with sheep serum, rabbit serum or BSA.

2. In ELISA, the selection of various experimental conditions is very important, including:

(1) Selection of solid-phase carrier: Many substances can be used as solid-phase carrier, such as polyvinyl chloride, polystyrene, polyacrylamide and cellulose. The form can be concave hole plate, test tube, bead, etc. At present, the commonly used 40-hole polystyrene concave orifice plate. No matter what kind of carrier, it can be screened before use: it is coated with the same amount of antigen, and the reaction is carried out under the same experimental conditions. Observe whether the color reaction is uniform and determine whether its adsorption performance is good.

(2) The choice of coating antibody (or antigen): when adsorbing the antibody (or antigen) on the surface of the solid phase carrier, the purity is required to be good, and the pH is generally required to be between 9.0 and 9.6 during adsorption. Adsorption temperature, time and protein content also have a certain influence, generally use 4 ℃ 18 ~ 24 hours. The optimal concentration of protein coating needs to be titrated: that is, after coating with different protein concentrations (0.1, 1.0, and 10 μg / ml, etc.), when the other test conditions are the same, observe the OD value of the positive specimen. Choose the concentration with the largest OD and the least protein. For most proteins, it is usually 1 ~ 10μg / ml.

(3) Selection of the working concentration of enzyme-labeled antibody: firstly conduct direct titer titration by direct ELISA method (see enzyme-labeled antibody section). Then fix other conditions or adopt the "square matrix method" (coatings, reference samples of the samples to be tested and enzyme-labeled antibodies are at different dilutions) to accurately titrate its working concentration in the formal experimental system.

(4) Selection of enzyme substrates and hydrogen donors: The selection requirements for hydrogen donors are inexpensive, safe, and have a significant color reaction, but are colorless in themselves. Some hydrogen donors (such as OPD, etc.) have potential carcinogenic effects, so attention should be paid to protection. Those with conditions should use non-carcinogenic, highly sensitive hydrogen donors, such as TMB and ABTS, which are currently more satisfactory hydrogen donors. After the substrate acts for a period of time, a strong acid or base should be added to stop the reaction. Usually the substrate action time is 10-30 minutes. Substrate use solution must be prepared fresh, especially before use.
