Reagent Preparation:

1. Bring all reagents and samples to room temperature (18 - 25 °C) before use. 2. Sample dilution: Tissue lysate and cell lysate sample should be diluted at least 5-fold with 1x Sample Diluent Buffer. The Rat beta-NGF ELISA Kit Protocol 3 3. Sample Diluent Buffer (Item D) and Assay Diluent (Item E) should be diluted 5-fold with deionized or distilled water before use. 4. Preparation of standard: Briefly spin the vial of Item C. Add 400 µL 1x Sample Diluent Buffer (Item D, Sample Diluent Buffer should be diluted 5-fold with deionized or distilled water) into Item C vial to prepare a 50 ng/ml standard. Dissolve the powder thoroughly by a gentle mix. Add 150 µL beta-NGF standard from the vial of Item C, into a tube with 350 µL Sample Diluent Buffer to prepare a 15,000 pg/ml stock standard solution. Pipette 300 µL 1x Sample Diluent Buffer into each tube. Use the stock standard solution to produce a dilution series (shown below). Mix each tube thoroughly before the next transfer. 1x Sample Diluent Buffer serves as the zero standard (0 pg/ml). 150 µL standard + 350 µL 200 µL 200 µL 200 µL 200 µL 200 µL 200 µL 15,000 5,000 1,666 555.6 185.2 61.73 20.58 0 pg/ml pg/ml pg/ml pg/ml pg/ml pg/ml pg/ml pg/ml 5. If the Wash Concentrate (20x) (Item B) contains visible crystals, warm to room temperature and mix gently until dissolved. Dilute 20 mL of Wash Buffer Concentrate into deionized or distilled water to yield 400 mL of 1x Wash Buffer. 6. Briefly spin the Detection Antibody vial (Item F) before use. Add 100 µL of 1x Assay Diuent into the vial to prepare a detection antibody concentrate. Pipette up and down to mix gently (the concentrate can be The Rat beta-NGF ELISA Kit Protocol 4 stored at 4 °C for 5 days). The detection antibody concentrate should be diluted 80-fold with 1x Assay Diuent and used in step 4 of Part VI Assay Procedure. 7. Briefly spin the HRP-Streptavidin concentrate vial (Item G) before use. HRP-Streptavidin concentrate should be diluted 500-fold with 1x Assay Diuent. For example: Briefly spin the vial (Item G) and pipette up and down to mix gently . Add 20 µL of HRP-Streptavidin concentrate into a tube with 10 mL 1x Assay Diluent to prepare a 500-fold diluted HRP- Streptavidin solution (don't store the diluted solution for next day use). Mix well. 8. Cell lysate buffer should be diluted 2-fold with deionized or distilled water (for cell lysate and tissue lysate).

Assay Procedure:

1. Bring all reagents and samples to room temperature (18 - 25 °C) before use. It is recommended that all standards and samples be run at least in duplicate. 2. Add 100 µL of each standard (see Reagent Preparation step 2) and sample into appropriate wells. Cover well and incubate for 2.5 hours at room temperature or over night at 4 °C with gentle shaking. We recommend using 50-500 myg/ml of total protein for lysate sample. pipette or autowasher. Complete removal of liquid at each step is essential to good performance. After the last wash, remove any remaining Wash Buffer by aspirating or decanting. Invert the plate and blot it against clean paper towels. 4. Add 100 µL of 1x prepared biotinylated antibody (Reagent Preparation step 6) to each well. Incubate for 1 hour at room temperature with gentle shaking. 5. Discard the solution. Repeat the wash as in step 3. 6. Add 100 µL of prepared Streptavidin solution (see Reagent Preparation step 7) to each well. Incubate for 45 minutes at room temperature with gentle shaking. 7. Discard the solution. Repeat the wash as in step 3. 8. Add 100 µL of TMB One-Step Substrate Reagent (Item H) to each well. Incubate for 30 minutes at room temperature in the dark with gentle shaking. 9. Add 50 µL of Stop Solution (Item I) to each well. Read at 450 nm immediately.

Calculation of Results:

Calculate the mean absorbance for each set of duplicate standards, controls and samples, and subtract the average zero standard optical density. Plot the standard curve on log-log graph paper or using Sigma plot software, with standard concentration on the x-axis and absorbance on the y-axis. Draw the best-fit straight line through the standard points.
