MATERIALS
Nunc™ 96-Well Polystyrene Round Bottom Microwell Plates, V 96 well plate, Non-Treated, clear, without lid, SterileThermo FisherCatalog #260210
Staphylococcal Protein-ASigma Aldrich
This ELISA is used to study the interaction of protein-A (SpA) with diverse immunoglobulins.
The 96 well microtitre plate is coated overnight at 4°C with 1 µg/µl per well of purified immunoglobulins or 50 µl of any animal sera in carbonate-bicarbonate buffer pH 9.6.
Then plate is treated with bovine serum albumin solution and washed 4X with PBS-Tween.
Then 50 µl of peroxidase-labeled-protein-A conjugate diluted 1:5000 in PBS-non-fat milk is added to each well and incubated for 1.30h at RT. After that the plate is washed 4X with PBS-Tween.
Pipette 50 μl of 3,3',5,5' - tetramethylbenzidine (TMB; Sigma-Aldrich) to each well.
The reaction is stopped with 50 µl of 3M H2SO4 solution.
The plate is visually assessed for the development of colour and read in a microplate reader at 450 nm.
A cut-off point should be calculated as the mean of the optical density of negative controls x 2 SD.
