检测原理

试剂盒采用双抗体夹心法酶联免疫吸附试验（ELISA）。往预先包被小鼠信号传导转录激活因子3（STAT3）捕获抗体的包被微孔中，依次加入标本、标准品、HRP标记的检测抗体，经过温育并*洗涤。用底物TMB显色，TMB在过氧化物酶的催化下转化成蓝色，并在酸的作用下转化成终的黄色。颜色的深浅和样品中的小鼠信号传导转录激活因子3（STAT3）呈正相关。用酶标仪在450nm 波长下测定吸光度（OD 值），计算样品浓度。

样品收集、处理及保存方法

1.  血清：使用不含热原和内毒素的试管，操作过程中避免任何细胞刺激，收集血液后，3000转离心10分钟将血清和红细胞迅速小心地分离。

2.  血浆：EDTA、柠檬酸盐或肝素抗凝。3000转离心30分钟取上清。

3.  细胞上清液：3000转离心10分钟去除颗粒和聚合物。

4.  组织匀浆：将组织加入适量生理盐水捣碎。3000转离心10分钟取上清。

5.  保存：如果样本收集后不及时检测，请按一次用量分装，冻存于-20℃，避免反复冻融，在室温下解冻并确保样品均匀地充分解冻。

自备物品

• 酶标仪（450nm）

NOT FOR USE IN DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES.

Mouse signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) ELISA Kit instruction

Intended use

This STAT3 ELISA kit is intended Laboratory for Research use only and is not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. The Stop Solution changes the color from blue to yellow and the intensity of the color is measured at 450 nm using a spectrophotometer. In order to measure the concentration of STAT3 in the sample, this STAT3 ELISA Kit includes a set of calibration standards. The calibration standards are assayed at the same time as the samples and allow the operator to produce a standard curve of Optical Density versus STAT3 concentration. The concentration of STAT3 in the samples is then determined by comparing the O.D. of the samples to the standard curve.

Sample collection and storages

Serum - Use a serum separator tube and allow samples to clot for 30 minutes before centrifugation for 10 minutes at approximately 3000×g. Remove serum and assay immediately or aliquot and store samples at -20℃ or -80℃.Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles

Plasma - Collect plasma using EDTA or heparin as an anticoagulant. Centrifuge samples for 30 minutes at 3000×g at 2-8℃ within 30 minutes of collection. Store samples at -20℃or -80℃. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

Cell culture supernates and other biological fluids - Remove particulates by centrifugation and assay immediately or aliquot and store samples at -20℃or -80℃. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

Note:  The samples should be centrifugated adequately and no hemolysis or granule was allowed.

Materials required but not supplied

1.  Standard microplate reader(450nm)

2.  Precision pipettes and Disposable pipette tips.

3.  37 ℃ incubator

Precautions

1.  Do not substitute reagents from one kit to another. Standard, conjugate and microplates are matched for optimal performance. Use only the reagents supplied by manufacturer.

2.  Do not remove microplate from the storage bag until needed. Unused strips should be stored at 2-8°C in their pouch with the desiccant provided.

3.  Mix all reagents before using.

Remove all kit reagents from refrigerator and allow them to reach room temperature ( 20-25°C)

Materials supplied

Note: Standard concentration was followed by:

100、50、25、12.5、6.25、0 ng/ml.

Reagent preparation

20×wash solution:Dilute with Distilled or deionized water 1:20.

Assay procedure

1.  Prepare all reagents before starting assay procedure. It is recommended that all Standards and Samples be added in duplicate to the Microelisa Stripplate.

2.  Add standard: Set Standard wells, testing sample wells. Add standard 50μl to standard well.

3.  Add Sample: Add testing sample 10μl Then add sample diluent 40μl to testing sample well; Blank well doesn’t add anyting.

4.  Add 100μl of HRP-conjugate reagent to each well, cover with an adhesive strip and incubate for 60 minutes at 37°C. 

5.  Aspirate each well and wash, repeating the process four times for a total of five washes. Wash by filling each well with Wash Solution (400μl) using a squirt bottle, manifold dispenser or autowasher. Complete removal of liquid at each step is essential to good performance. After the last wash, remove any remaining Wash Solution by aspirating or decanting. Invert the plate and blot it against clean paper towels.

6.  Add chromogen solution A 50μl and chromogen solution B 50μl to each well. Gently mix and incubate for 15 minutes at 37°C. Protect from light.

7.  Add 50μl Stop Solution to each well. The color in the wells should change from blue to yellow. If the color in the wells is green or the color change does not

appear uniform, gently tap the plate to ensure thorough mixing.

8.  Read the Optical Density (O.D.) at 450 nm using a microtiter plate reader within 15 minutes.

Calculation of results

• This standard curve is used to determine the amount in an unknown sample. The standard curve is generated by plotting the average O.D. (450 nm) obtained for each of the six standard concentrations on the vertical (Y) axis versus the corresponding concentration on the horizontal (X) axis.
• First, calculate the mean O.D. value for each standard and sample. All O.D. values, are subtracted by the mean value of the zero standard before result interpretation. Construct the standard curve using graph paper or statistical software.
• To determine the amount in each sample, first locate the O.D. value on the Y-axis and extend a horizontal line to the standard curve. At the point of intersection, draw a vertical line to the X-axis and read the corresponding concentration.
• Any variation in operator, pipetting and washing technique, incubation time or temperature, and kit age can cause variation in result. Each user should obtain their own standard curve.
• The sensitivity by this assay is 0.1 ng/ml.
• Standard curve
