• Standards should be subject to the same manipulations and incubation times as the samples being tested.
• All steps of the test should be completed without interruption.
• Use new disposable plastic pipette tips for each reagent, standard or specimen in order to avoid cross contamination.

Comment:

Trastuzumab ELISA is suitable also for using by an automated ELISA processor.

Sample Volume: 20 μL

Assay Time: 1.5 h

Plate: Pre-coated

Protocol: The Trastuzumab ELISA is a sandwitch-type ELISA. Standards and diluted samples (serum or plasma) are incubated in the microtitre plate coated with the ligand antigen (i.e. recombinant human HER2) for Trastuzumab. After incubation, the wells are washed. A horseradish peroxidase (HRP)- conjugated anti-human IgG monoclonal antibody is added and binds to the Fc part of Trastuzumab pre-captured by the ligand antigen on the surface of the wells. Following incubation, the wells are washed and the bound enzymatic activity is detected by addition of chromogen-substrate. The colour developed is proportional to the amount of Trastuzumab in the sample or standard. Results of samples are determined directly by using the standard curve.

Reagent Preparation:

Wash Buffer: Dilute 10 mL Wash Buffer (up to 200 mL) at the ratio of 1:20 with distilled water.
Warm up at 37 °C to dissolve crystals. Mix vigorously.
Store at 2-8 °C for up to 4 weeks.
Prepare Wash Buffer before starting the assay procedure.

Sample Collection: Normal serum or plasma collection

Sample Preparation:

Serum/ Plasma: Initially dilute the Serum/ Plasma (Sample) at the ratio of 1:20 with Assay Buffer.
Sample : Assay Buffer Relation can be 1:20-1:100.
For dilution at 1:20, 10 μL Sample + 190 μL Assay Buffer
For dilution at 1:100, 5 μL Sample + 495 μL Assay Buffer
If any sample, initially diluted as indicated above, produces an OD value above the measuring range it should be rated as "> highest standard". The result should not be extrapolated. The sample in question should be further diluted with Assay Buffer and then retested.

Serum, Plasma (EDTA, Heparin): The usual precautions for venipuncture should be observed. It is important to preserve the chemical integrity of a blood specimen from the moment it is collected until it is assayed. Do not use grossly hemolytic, icteric or grossly lipemic specimens. Samples appearing turbid should be centrifuged before testing to remove any particulate material.

Storage: 2-8 °C &leq,-20 °C (Aliquots)
Keep away from heat or direct sun light.
Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Stability: 3 days at 2-8 °C, 6 months at -20 °C

Assay Procedure:

1. Pipette 100 μL of Assay Buffer into each of the wells to be used.
2. Pipette 20 μL of each Ready-to Use Standard, and Diluted Samples into the respective wells of the microtiter plate. Wells A1: Standard A B1: Standard B C1: Standard C D1: Standard D E1: Standard E F1 and so on: Diluted samples (Serum/Plasma)
3. Cover the plate with adhesive seal. Shake plate carefully. Incubate 30 min at room temperature (RT) (18-25 °C).
4. Remove adhesive seal. Aspirate or decant the incubation solution. Wash the plate 3 X 300 μL of Diluted Wash Buffer per well. Remove excess solution by tapping the inverted plate on a paper towel.
5. Pipette 100 μL of Enzyme Conjugate (HRP-anti human IgG mAb) into each well.
6. Cover plate with adhesive seal. Shake plate carefully. Incubate 30 min at RT.
7. Remove adhesive seal. Aspirate or decant the incubation solution. Wash the plate 3 X 300 μL of Diluted Wash Buffer per well. Remove excess solution by tapping the inverted plate on a paper towel.
8. Pipette 100 μL of Ready-to-Use TMB Substrate Solution into each well.
9. Incubate 15 min at RT. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight.
10. Stop the substrate reaction by adding 100 μL of Stop Solution into each well. Briefly mix contents by gently shaking the plate. Color changes from blue to yellow.
11. Measure optical density (OD) with a photometer at 450 nm (Reference at OD620 nm is optional) within 15 min after pipetting the Stop Solution.

Calculation of Results:

A standard curve should be calculated using the standard concentration (X-axis) versus the OD450 (or OD450/620) values (Y-axis). This can be done manually using graph paper or with a computer program. Concerning the data regression by computer we are recommending to primarily use the "4 Parameter Logistic (4PL)" or alternatively the "point-to-point calculation". In case of manual plot there are 2 options: Semilog graph or linear graph . Semilog graph paper is available at http://www.papersnake.com/logarithmic/semilogarithmic/. The concentration of the samples can be read from this standard curve as follows. Using the absorbance value for each sample, determine the corresponding concentration of the drug from the standard curve. This value always has to be multiplied by the dilution factor. If any diluted sample is reading greater than the highest standard, it should be further diluted appropriately with Assay Buffer and retested. Also this second dilution has to be used for calculation the final result.

Assay Precision: Intra-assay CV: <10%.
Inter-assay CV: <10%.

Recovery rate was found to be 98-102% with native human serum and plasma samples when spiked with exogenous Trastuzumab at 0,6 μg/mL or 6 μg/mL.

Target Details for Trastuzumab

Target: Trastuzumab

Abstract: Trastuzumab Products

Background: Trastuzumab is a recombinant DNA-derived humanized monoclonal antibody that selectively targets the extracellular domain of the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 protein (HER2). The antibody is an IgG1 kappa that contains human framework regions with the complementarity-determining regions of a murine anti- p185 HER2 antibody that binds to HER2. Trastuzumab blood concentrations throughout the dosing interval expected to be remaining above those considered necessary for anticancer activity. Furthermore, in a separate analysis, patients with the lowest trastuzumab serum trough concentrations had the highest rate of disease progression and shortest overall survival. In this context, identification of biomarkers for (non-)response and risk factors for adverse drug reactions that might be related to serum concentrations and maintaining the effective concentration of Trastuzumab in order to potentially avoid some side effects with a reliable method might be beneficial.
