Development of a competitive enzyme linked immunosorbent assay to measure alpha 2-macroglobulin in irradiated rat
1Department of Radiation Biology, Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute, Taejon, Korea.
A competitive enzyme linked immunosorbent assay with antigen immobilized on the solid phase was developed to measure alpha 2-macroglobulin in rat serum. The cross reactivity with albumin and hemoglobin was eliminated by use of IgG fractions that were isolated after chromatography on Cibacron Blue F3-GA Sepharose immobilized rat whole serum and hemoglobin Sepharose. Blocking materials and pH of the coating buffer had no effect on the amount of alpha 2-macroglobulin that binds to the plate. When the coating amount of alpha 2-macroglobulin was 100 ng/well, at pH 7.4, 10 mM Tris-HCl containing 150 mM sodium chloride and the IgG amount added was 60 ng/well, then albumin and hemoglobin did not affect the assay at concentrations of 150 micrograms/ml or 200 micrograms/ml. This assay is useful for measuring the concentration of alpha 2-macroglobulin in normal and irradiated rat serum.
