Overview

Osteocalcin (bone glutamate protein) is a low molecular weight acidic protein with a molecular weight of approximately 5800 Daltons, containing 49 amino acids, including three γ-carboxyglutamate residues. Osteocalcin is a vitamin K-dependent calcium-binding protein synthesized and secreted by bone formation, and it is the most abundant non-collagen protein in bones. Osteocalcin is related to the transient changes of bone metabolism, the secretion and activity of osteoblasts, and the rate of bone turnover, and can also reflect the status of bone resorption. Because some fragments are released into the blood when entering the matrix, it can be used as an indicator of bone formation. Determination of blood osteocalcin can understand the transient changes of bone cell activity and bone metabolism. Its blood level reflects the activity of osteoblasts, but it is also related to bone resorption.

Experimental principle

The microtiter plate is coated with purified antibody to make a solid phase carrier, and the specimen or standard, biotinylated anti-OT / BGP antibody, HRP-labeled affinity are added to the microwell coated with anti-OT / BGP antibody in sequence After thorough washing, it is developed with the substrate TMB. TMB is converted into blue under the catalysis of peroxidase, and into the final yellow under the action of acid. The color depth is positively correlated with OT / BGP in the sample. The absorbance (OD value) was measured with a microplate reader at a wavelength of 450 nm, and the sample concentration was calculated.

3. Cell culture supernatant or other biological specimens: centrifuge at 1000 xg for 20 minutes, take the supernatant for detection, or store the specimen at -20 ℃ or -80 ℃, but avoid repeated freezing and thawing.

Note: Hemolysis of specimens will affect the final test results, so hemolysis specimens should not be tested.

Dilution principle of specimens:

First of all, we should know the approximate content of the sample to be tested through literature search, and determine the appropriate dilution factor. Only when it is diluted to the range of the standard curve, the test result is accurate. Detailed records should be made during the dilution process. When calculating the concentration at the end, it was diluted "N" times, and the concentration of the specimen should be multiplied by "N".

Standard dilution principle: 2 bottles, dilute each bottle with sample diluent to 1ml before use, let it sit for more than 10 minutes after capping, and then repeatedly invert / scrub to help dissolve, its concentration is 80 ng / ml, do After serial dilution, 80 ng / ml, 40 ng / ml, 20 ng / ml, 10 ng / ml, 5 ng / ml, 2.5 ng / ml, 1.25 ng / ml, and the sample dilution is directly used as the standard concentration 0 ng / ml, prepared within 15 minutes before use.

For example, to prepare a 40 ng / ml standard: Take 0.5 ml (not less than 0.5 ml) of the above 80 ng / ml standard and add it to an Eppendorf tube containing 0.5 ml of sample diluent, mix well, and so on for the remaining concentrations.

Dilution principle of biotinylated antibody:

Before use, dilute with biotinylated antibody diluent. Before dilution, prepare according to the pre-calculated total amount required for each experiment (100ul per well). In actual preparation, 0.1-0.2ml should be prepared. For example, the ratio of 10ul biotin-labeled antibody plus 990ul biotin-labeled antibody dilution is prepared, mix gently, and prepare within one hour before use.

Dilution principle of horseradish peroxidase-labeled avidin:

Before use, dilute with horseradish peroxidase-labeled avidin diluent. Before dilution, prepare according to the pre-calculated total amount required for each experiment (100ul per well). 0.1-0.2ml should be prepared during actual preparation . For example, the ratio of 10ul horseradish peroxidase-labeled avidin plus 990ul horseradish peroxidase-labeled avidin dilution solution is prepared, mix gently, and prepare within one hour before use.

Steps

Before starting the experiment, please configure all reagents in advance. When the reagents or samples are diluted, they should be mixed well. Try to avoid foaming when mixing. A standard curve should be made for each test. If the sample concentration is too high, dilute with sample diluent to make the sample meet the detection range of the kit.

1. Add sample: set blank hole, standard hole and sample hole to be tested respectively. Add 100ul of sample diluent to the blank well, and 100ul of the standard or the sample to be tested in the remaining well. Be careful not to have air bubbles. Add the sample to the bottom of the well of the microplate. The target plate is covered with a cover or film and reacted at 37 ° C for 120 minutes.

To ensure the validity of the experimental results, please use a new standard solution for each experiment.

2. Discard the liquid and spin dry without washing. Add 100ul of biotin-labeled antibody working solution to each well (take 1ul of biotin-labeled antibody plus 99ul of biotin-labeled antibody dilution to prepare, mix gently and prepare within one hour before use), 37 ℃, 60 minutes.

3. After incubation for 60 minutes, discard the liquid in the wells, spin dry, wash the plate 3 times, soak for 1-2 minutes each time, 350ul / per well, spin dry.

4. Add horseradish peroxidase-labeled avidin working solution (the same as biotin-labeled antibody working solution) to each well at 37 ℃ for 60 minutes.

5. After incubating for 60 minutes, discard the liquid in the well, spin dry, wash the plate 5 times, soak for 1-2 minutes each time, 350ul / per well, spin dry.

6. Add 90ul of substrate solution to each well in sequence, and develop color in the dark at 37 ° C (within 30 minutes, at this time, the first 3-4 wells of the standard product have a visible blue gradient, and the 3-4 wells have no obvious gradient) , You can terminate).

7. Add 50ul of stop solution to each well in sequence to stop the reaction (in this case, the blue color turns to yellow). The order of adding the stop solution should be the same as that of the substrate solution. In order to ensure the accuracy of the experimental results, the termination solution should be added as soon as possible after the substrate reaction time expires.

8. Measure the optical density (OD value) of each well in sequence using an enzyme-linked instrument at a wavelength of 450 nm. Test within 15 minutes after adding stop solution.

Note:

1. When using the reagent kit for the first time, the user should centrifuge various reagent tubes for several minutes so that the reagents are concentrated to the bottom of the tube.

2. Leave one well for each experiment as a blank zero-adjusting well. No reagents are added to this well, only the substrate solution and 2N H2SO4 are added at the end. Use this hole to adjust the OD value to zero when measuring.

3. To prevent the sample from evaporating, place the reaction plate in a closed box covered with a damp cloth during the test, and add a cover or film to the enzyme label plate.

4. Store unused microplates or reagents at 2-8 ° C. Standards, biotin-labeled antibody working solution, horseradish peroxidase-labeled avidin working solution, please use according to the required amount. Do not reuse diluted standard, biotin-labeled antibody working solution, or horseradish peroxidase-labeled avidin working solution.

5. It is recommended to set double-hole measurement when testing samples to ensure the accuracy of the test results.

Plate washing method Manual plate washing method: suck (do not touch the wall) or shake off the liquid in the microplate; place a few layers of absorbent paper on the experimental table, and force the microplate down several times; pat the recommended wash buffer Inject at least 0.3ml of solution into the hole and soak for 1-2 minutes. Repeat this process several times as needed.
Automatic plate washing: If there is an automatic plate washing machine, it should be used in the formal experiment process after being used skillfully.

Calculation

Taking the concentration of the standard as the abscissa (logarithmic coordinate) and the OD value as the ordinate (ordinary coordinate), draw a standard curve on semi-logarithmic coordinate paper, and find the corresponding concentration from the standard curve according to the OD value of the sample; Multiply by the dilution factor; or use the standard concentration and OD value to calculate the linear regression equation of the standard curve, substitute the OD value of the sample into the equation, calculate the sample concentration, and multiply by the dilution factor to obtain the actual concentration of the sample.

Precautions

1. When mixing protein solutions, try to be as gentle as possible to avoid foaming.

2. The washing process is very important. Insufficient washing can easily cause false positives.

3. It is best to control the sampling time within 5 minutes. If there are many specimens, it is recommended to use a volley gun to add samples.

4. Please make the standard curve at the same time of each measurement, it is better to make the complex hole.

5. If the content of the substance to be tested in the specimen is too high, please dilute it and then determine it. When calculating, please multiply by the dilution factor.

6. When preparing standard products and testing solution working fluid, please prepare with corresponding diluent, not to be confused.

7. Please keep the substrate away from light.

8. Do not replace the reagents in the kit with reagents from other manufacturers.
