Specification 48T Glucagon (GC) Human Kit
Introduction
Glucagon (GC), also known as glucagon or anti insulin or insulin B, is a hormone secreted by pancreatic alpha cells in vertebrates along with insulin. It works against insulin and increases blood sugar levels. Glucagon activates liver cell phosphorylase and accelerates glycogen breakdown through the cAMP PK system. Enhanced gluconeogenesis is due to hormones accelerating the entry of amino acids into liver cells and activating enzyme systems related to gluconeogenesis processes. Glucagon can also activate lipase, promote fat breakdown, and enhance fatty acid oxidation, leading to an increase in ketone body production. This kit for human GC immunoassay is a three-step solid-phase sandwich ELISA used to measure human GC in cell culture supernatant, serum, and plasma. The kit contains recombinant human GC expressed in E. coli and antibodies against recombinant proteins. The results obtained using natural human GC showed a linear curve parallel to the standard curve obtained using recombinant standards. These results indicate that the kit can be used to determine the relative mass values of natural human GC.

Detection Principle

The reagent kit adopts the double antibody sandwich methodELISA technology: Capture antibodies are coated on an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) plate to capture the analyte GC in the sample and standard. After incubation and cleaning, labeled detection antibodies are added for incubation and cleaning to form a "capture antibody antigen detection antibody" immune complex. Then, horseradish peroxidase conjugated with streptavidin is added for incubation. After incubation, the sample is washed and TMB color reagent is added. If the analyte in the sample appears blue, stop the reaction by adding a stop buffer. During the detection process, all free components were washed away, and the OD value was measured at 450nm using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) reader. The color intensity was proportional to the content of the analyte in the sample, and the concentration of GC in the sample was calculated by plotting a standard curve.

Key Operating Points

When mixing protein solutions, always avoid foaming. To avoid cross contamination, the pipette tip should be replaced when adding each standard, sample, and reagent. In addition, each reagent should be used in a separate container.

2. Ensure that the reagents are continuously added to the plate wells. To ensure accurate results, it is necessary to bond the sealing film well during the incubation step.

When using an automatic washing machine, adding a 30 second soaking period after adding the washing buffer, or rotating the plate 180 degrees between washing steps, can improve the measurement accuracy.

4. The color developer should remain colorless until added to the plate. Ensure that the color developer is not exposed to light. The color developer should change from colorless to blue.

5. The termination solution should be added to the plate in the same order as the color developer. After adding the termination solution, the color formed in the pores will change from blue to yellow. The green holes indicate that the termination solution has not been fully mixed with the matrix solution.

Precautions

The termination solution provided by this reagent kit is a dilute sulfuric acid solution, which has certain corrosiveness and should be handled with caution.

2. Some ingredients in this kit contain preservatives, which may cause skin allergies. Masks should be worn to avoid inhaling light mist.

3. Color developer B may cause skin, eye, and respiratory irritation, and masks should be worn to avoid inhaling light mist.

4. Wear protective gloves, eye and facial protection, and wash hands after handling.

Reagent preparation

Before use, let all reagents equilibrate at room temperature for about 30 minutes.

2. Washing solution/diluent configuration: If there is crystal precipitation in the washing solution/diluent (20x), all crystals need to be dissolved by heating at 37 ℃. Dilute 1:20 with distilled water (e.g. add 1mL of concentrated washing solution to 19mL of distilled water)

Standard product configuration

Retrieve the standard from the reagent kit and prepare it7 test tubes, starting with40ng/mLStandard product（Dilute a certain amount of 2000pg/mL (e.g. 50 μ L of standard mother liquor+950 μ L of 1 × dilution solution to prepare 1000 μ L of 2000pg/mL concentration standard) as needed, and then add 500 μ L of 1 × dilution solution to each of the 6 test tubes. Dilute the 2000pg/mL standard to 6 gradients in a 2-fold ratio in these 6 separate test tubes. A total of 7 concentrations of standard are prepared, which are:2000pg/mL、1000pg/mL、500pg/mL、250pg/mL、125pg/mL、62.5pg/mL、31.25pg/mL，Extract from concentration standard solutionTransfer 500 μ L of standard substance to the next test tube, gently blow and mix well, and repeat the process to dilute the standard substance by multiple ratios (as shown in the figure). Use 1 x dilution solution as the zero concentration standard substance (0pg/mL)

Calculation of results

Calculate the average of standard samples and sample wellsSubtract the OD value of the blank hole from the OD value as the correction value. Plot the standard curve of the four parameter logic function on a coordinate paper with concentration as the horizontal axis and OD value as the vertical axis (with blank values removed when plotting), or use computer software that can generate a four parameter logic (4-P) curve fit to create the standard curve. If the OD value of the sample is higher than the upper limit of the standard curve, it should be diluted appropriately and retested, and multiplied by the corresponding dilution factor when calculating the sample concentration.

sample data

The following data and curves are for reference only. Experimenters need to establish a standard curve based on their own experimental data.

The standard curve shown in this figure is for example only, and the calculation of the results should be based on the standard curve drawn for the same test sample
