Direct binding enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for serum amyloid A (SAA).
A solid-phase, direct binding ELISA for serum amyloid A (SAA) proteins is described, in which noncovalent interactions of SAA with other plasma constituents are disrupted to permit direct coating of the wells of flexible polyvinyl chloride microtitration plates with an amount of SAA antigen proportional to its concentration in plasma. The wells are coated overnight at 60 degrees C with plasma diluted in 3 M potassium bromide and 0.1 M sodium bicarbonate. pH 9.6. The next day, any remaining sites on the wells are blocked by incubation for 1 h at ambient temperature with a 5% solution of dry milk solids and 0.05% Tween 20 in 0.02 M phosphate buffer, pH 7.4. The wells are rinsed and incubated for 90 min at 37 degrees C with polyclonal rabbit or rat anti-human SAA antiserum. Then, the wells are rinsed and incubated with goat anti-rabbit or rat IgG antiserum to which has been conjugated horseradish peroxidase. o-phenylenediamine and hydrogen peroxide substrates are added to the wells, color is allowed to develop, and sulfuric acid is added to stop the enzyme-catalyzed reaction. The amount of SAA coated to wells is quantified by absorbance at 490 nm. Four or more serial three-fold dilutions of plasma samples are assayed simultaneously on separate plates. Each plate contains a set of wells with identical concentrations of SAA standard protein diluted in decreasing concentrations of plasma proteins corresponding to the dilution of sample. The method can detect SAA concentrations in plasma samples ranging from 1 microgram/ml to greater than 1000 micrograms/ml. The method is suited to serial monitoring of SAA concentration in patients undergoing treatment for inflammatory conditions and to the quantitative analysis of large numbers of samples.J D Sipe, W A Gonnerman, L D Loose, G Knapschaefer, W J Xie, C Franzblau
