Fonction: The AssayMax™ Human FABP4 ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) Kit is designed for detection of FABP4 in human plasma, serum, urine, milk, CSF, and cell culture samples. This assay employs a quantitative sandwich enzyme immunoassay technique that measures human FABP4 in approximately 5 hours. A polyclonal antibody specific for human FABP4 has been pre-coated onto a 96-well microplate with removable strips. FABP4 in standards and samples is sandwiched by the immobilized antibody and a biotinylated polyclonal antibody specific for human FABP4, which is recognized by a streptavidin-peroxidase (SP) conjugate. All unbound material is washed away and a peroxidase enzyme substrate is added. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured.

Préparation des réactifs:

Freshly dilute all reagents and bring all reagents to room temperature before use. EIA Diluent Concentrate (10x): If crystals have formed in the concentrate, mix gently until the crystals have completely dissolved. Dilute the EIA Diluent Concentrate 10-fold with reagent grade water to produce a 1x solution. Store for up to 30 days at 2-8 °C. Human FABP4 Standard: Reconstitute the Human FABP4 Standard (500 ng) with 0.5 mL of Standard Diluent to generate a 1000 ng/mL standard stock solution. Allow the vial to sit for 10 minutes with gentle agitation prior to making dilutions. From the standard stock solution (1000 ng/mL), dilute 8-fold with EIA Diluent to produce a 125 ng/mL standard working solution. Prepare duplicate or triplicate standard points by serially diluting the standard working solution (125 ng/mL) 4-fold with EIA Diluent to produce 31.25, 7.813, 1.953, and 0.488 ng/mL solutions. EIA Diluent serves as the zero standard (0 ng/mL). Aliquot remaining stock solution to limit repeated freeze-thaw cycles. This solution should be stored at -20 °C and used within 48 hours.

Procédure de l'essai:

Prepare all reagents, standard solutions, and samples as instructed. Bring all reagents to room temperature before use. The assay is performed at room temperature (20-25 °C). Remove excess microplate strips from the plate frame and return them immediately to the foil pouch with desiccants inside. Reseal the pouch securely to minimize exposure to water vapor and store in a vacuum desiccator. Add 50 l of Human FABP4 Standard or sample to each well. Gently tap plate to thoroughly coat the wells. Break any bubbles that may have formed. Cover wells with a sealing tape and incubate for 2 hours. Start the timer after the last addition. Wash five times with 200 l of Wash Buffer manually. Invert the plate each time and decant the contents, hit 4-5 times on absorbent material to completely remove the liquid. If using a machine, wash six times with 300 l of Wash Buffer and then invert the plate, decanting the contents, hit 4-5 times on absorbent material to completely remove the liquid. Add 50 l of Biotinylated Human FABP4 Antibody to each well. Gently tap plate to thoroughly coat the wells. Break any bubbles that may have formed. Cover wells with a sealing tape and incubate for 2 hours. Wash the microplate as described above. Add 50 l of SP Conjugate to each well. Gently tap plate to thoroughly coat the wells. Break any bubbles that may have formed. Cover wells with a sealing tape and incubate for 30 minutes. Turn on the microplate reader and set up the program in advance. Wash the microplate as described above. Add 50 l of Chromogen Substrate to each well. Gently tap plate to thoroughly coat the wells. Break any bubbles that may have formed. Incubate for 20 minutes or until the optimal blue color density develops. Add 50 l of Stop Solution to each well. The color will change from blue to yellow. Gently tap plate to ensure thorough mixing. Break any bubbles that may have formed. 6 Read the absorbance on a microplate reader at a wavelength of 450 nm immediately. If wavelength correction is available, subtract readings at 570 nm from those at 450 nm to correct optical imperfections. Otherwise, read the plate at 450 nm only. Please note that some unstable black particles may be generated at high concentration points after stopping the reaction for about 10 minutes, which will reduce the readings.

Calcul des résultats:

• Calculate the mean value of the duplicate or triplicate readings for each standard and sample.
• To generate a standard curve, plot the graph using the standard concentrations on the x-axis and the corresponding mean 450 nm absorbance (OD) on the y-axis. The best-fit line can be determined by regression analysis using log-log or four-parameter logistic curve-fit.
• Determine the unknown sample concentration from the standard curve and multiply the value by the dilution factor.

Sujet: Fatty acid-binding protein 4 (FABP4), also called adipocyte lipid-binding protein, belongs to a family of mall cytoplasmic intracellular lipid-binding proteins involved in the transport and storage of lipids in adipocytes and macrophages. It consists of 132 amino acid residues and has a molecular mass of 14 - 15 kDa (1). FABP4 binds fatty acids, retinoids, and other hydrophobic ligands and then transports them to the nucleus, where the FABP4/fatty acid complex activates peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR- gamma). FABP4 and PPAR-gamma work together to influence a biologic pathway affecting insulin sensitivity and body composition (2). It forms a physical complex with the hormone-sensitive lipase, activating the enzyme to facilitate intracellular trafficking of hydrophobic lipids (3). FABP4 serves as a locus of integration for metabolic and inflammatory pathways.
