Protocol
The unknown protein nitrotyrosine sample or nitrated BSA standards are first added to a nitrated BSA preabsorbed EIA plate. After a brief incubation, an anti-nitrotyrosine antibody is added, followed by an HRP conjugated secondary antibody. The protein nitrotyrosine content in unknown sample is determined by comparing with a standard curve that is prepared from predetermined nitrated BSA standards.
Reagent Preparation
1X Wash Buffer: Dilute the 10X Wash Buffer Concentrate to 1X with deionized water. Stir to homogeneity. 3
Anti-Nitrotyrosine Antibody and Secondary Antibody: Immediately before use dilute the Anti- Nitrotyrosine Antibody 1:1000 and Secondary Antibody 1:1000 with Assay Diluent. Do not store diluted solutions.
Assay Procedure
Prepare and mix all reagents thoroughly before use. Each protein sample including nitrated BSA and blank should be assayed in duplicate.
Add 50 μL of unknown protein sample or nitrated BSA standard to the wells of the EIA plate. Incubate at room temperature for 10 minutes on an orbital shaker.
Add 50 μL of the diluted anti-nitrotyrosine antibody to each well, incubate at room temperature for 1 hour on an orbital shaker.
Wash microwell strips 3 times with 250 μL 1X Wash Buffer per well with thorough aspiration between each wash. After the last wash, empty wells and tap microwell strips on absorbent pad or paper towel to remove excess 1X Wash Buffer.
Add 100 μL of the diluted Secondary Antibody-Enzyme Conjugate to all wells.
Incubate at room temperature for 1 hour on an orbital shaker.
Wash microwell strips 3 times according to step 4 above. Proceed immediately to the next step.
Warm Substrate Solution to room temperature. Add 100 μL of Substrate Solution to each well, including the blank wells. Incubate at room temperature on an orbital shaker. Actual incubation time may vary from 2-30 minutes. Note: Watch plate carefully, if color changes rapidly, the reaction may need to be stopped sooner to prevent saturation. 4
Stop the enzyme reaction by adding 100 μL of Stop Solution into each well, including the blank wells. Results should be read immediately (color will fade over time).
Read absorbance of each microwell on a spectrophotometer using 450 nm as the primary wave length.

The modification of tyrosine residues in proteins to 3-nitrotyrosine by peroxynitrite (Figure 1) or other potential nitrating agents has been detected in biological systems that are subject to oxidative stress. Detection of nitrotyrosine-containing proteins has been reported in many human and animal diseases or cellular models of disease. While all tyrosine residues in proteins may theoretically be targets for nitration, presumably the efficiency of tyrosine nitration is dependent on various biological conditions such as the local production and concentration of the reactive species, the existence and availability of antioxidants and scavengers, the accumulation of inflammatory cell and the presence of pro- inflammatory cytokines, as well as the proximity and compartmentation of these components. The quantity of 3-nitrotyrosine in protein sample is determined by comparing its absorbance with that of a known nitrated BSA standard curve.
