Human Metallothionein

Drug Names
Generic Name：Human Metallothionein  (MT)ELISA Kit.
Purpose
This kit allows for the determination ofMTconcentrationsin Humanserum,cell culture supernatantand otherbiological fluids.
Principle of the assay
The kitassay HumanMTlevel in the sample，use Purified HumanMTantibody to coat microtiter plate wells, make solid-phase antibody, then addMTto wells,CombinedMTantibody which With HRP labeled,become antibody - antigen - enzyme-antibody complex, after washing Completely,Add TMB substrate solution,TMB substrate becomes blue color At HRP enzyme-catalyzed,reaction is terminated by the addition of a sulphuric acid solution and the color change is measured spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 450 nm.The concentration ofMTin the samples is then determined by comparing the O.D. of the samples to the standard curve.

Specimen requirements

1. serum-coagulation at room temperature 10-20 mins，centrifugation 20-min at the speed of 2000-3000 r.p.m. remove supernatant,If precipitation appeared, Centrifugal again.
2. plasma-use suited EDTA or citrate plasmaas an anticoagulant,mix 10-20 mins ,centrifugation 20-min at the speed of 2000-3000 r.p.m. remove supernatant,If precipitation appeared, Centrifugal again.
3. Urine-collect sue a sterile container,centrifugation 20-min at the speed of 2000-3000 r.p.m. remove supernatant,If precipitation appeared, Centrifugal again.The Operation of Hydrothorax and cerebrospinal fluid Reference to it.
4. cell culture supernatant-detect secretory components,collect sue a sterile container,centrifugation 20-min at the speed of 2000-3000 r.p.m. remove supernatant,detect the composition of cells, Dilut cell suspension with PBS（PH7.2-7.4）,Cell concentration reached 1 million / ml,repeated freeze-thaw cycles,damage cells and release of intracellular components, centrifugation 20-min at the speed of 2000-3000 r.p.m. remove supernatant,If precipitation appeared, Centrifugal again.
5. Tissue samples-After cutting samples, check the weight,add PBS（PH7.2-7.4）,Rapidly frozen with liquid nitrogen,maintainsamples at2-8℃after melting,add PBS（PH7.4）, Homogenized by hand or Grinders,centrifugation 20-min at the speed of 2000-3000 r.p.m. remove supernatant.
6. extractas soon as possible after Specimen collection,and according to the relevant literature, and should be experiment as soon as possible after the extraction. If it can’t,specimen can be kept in -20 ℃to preserve, Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
7. Can’t detect the sample which contain NaN3, becauseNaN3inhibits HRP active.

Assay procedure
1.Dilute and add sample to Standard: set 10 Standard wells on the ELISA plates coated, add Standard 100μl to the first and the second well, then add Standard dilution50μl to the first and the second well, mix; take out 100μl form the first and the second well then add it to the third and the forth well separately. then add Standard dilution50μl to the third and the forth well ,mix ; then take out 50μl from the third and the forth well discard, add 50μl to the fifth and the sixth well ,then add Standard dilution50μl to the fifth and the sixth well, mix ; take out 50μl from the fifth and the sixth well and add to the seventh and the eighth well, then add Standard dilution50μl to the seventh and the eighth well ,mix ; take out 50μl from the seventh and the eighth well and add to the ninth and the tenth well, add Standard dilution50μl to the ninth and the tenth well, mix , take out 50μl from the ninth and the tenth well discard(add Sample 50μl to each well after Diluting ,(density:2400 ng/L,1600 ng/L,800 ng/L,400ng/L,200ng/L)
2.add sample：Set blank wells separately (blank comparison wells don’t add sample and HRP-Conjugate reagent, other each step operation is same). testing sample well. add Sample dilution 40μl to testing sample well, then add testing sample 10μl (sample final dilutionis 5-fold),add sample to wells,don’t touch the well wall as far as possible, and Gently mix.
3.Incubate: After closing plate with Closure plate membrane ,incubate for 30 min at 37℃.
4.Configurate liquid: wash solution diluted 20-fold with distilled water and reserve.
5.washing：Uncover Closure plate membrane, discardLiquid, dry by swing, add washing buffer to every well, still for 30s then drain,repeat 5 times, dry by pat.
6.add enzyme：AddHRP-Conjugate reagent 50μl to each well, except  blank well.
7.incubate：Operation with 3.
8.washing：Operation with 5.
9.color：AddChromogen Solution A50ul andChromogen Solution B to each well,evade the light preservationfor 15 min at 37℃
10.Stop the reaction：Add Stop Solution50μlto each well, Stop the reaction(the blue color change to yellow color).
11.assay：take blank well as zero ,Read absorbance at 450nm after Adding Stop Solution and within 15min.
Important notes

1. The kit takes out from the refrigeration environment should be balanced 15-30 minutes in the room temperature,ELISA plates coated if has not use up after opened, the plate should be stored in Sealed bag.
2. washing buffer will Crystallization separation, it can be heated the water helps dissolve when dilute . Washing does not affect the result.
3. add Sample with sampler Each step, And proofread its accuracy frequently, avoids the experimental error. add sample within 5 mins, if the number of sample is much , recommend to use Volley .
4. if the testing material content is excessively higher(The sample OD is bigger than the first standard well ),please dilute Sample (n-fold), Please diluenteandmultiplied by the dilution factor.（×n×5）.
5. Closure plate membraneonly limits the disposable use, to avoid cross-contamination.
6. The substrate evade the light preservation.
7. Please according to use instruction strictly, The test result determination must take themicrotiter plate readeras a standard.
8. All samples, washing buffer and each kind of reject should according to infective material process.
9. Do not mix reagents with those from other lots.

 
 

Take the standard density as the horizontal, the OD value for the vertical,draw the standard curve on graph paper,Find out the corresponding density according to the sample OD value by the Sample curve, multiplied by the dilution multiple, or calculate the straight line regression equation of the standard curve with the standard density and the OD value ,with the sample OD value in the equation, calculate the sample density, multiplied by the dilution factor, the result is the sample actual density.
