Protein-L from P. Magnus
This ELISA is used to study the interaction of recombinant protein-L (SpL) with diverse avian immunoglobulins.
The 96 well microtitre plate is coated overnight at 4°C with 2 µg/µl per well of SpL in carbonate-bicarbonate buffer pH 9.6.
Then plate is treated with bovine serum albumin solution and washed 4X with PBS-Tween.
50 µl of avian egg yolk or egg white (1 mg/ml) is added and incubated for 1.30h at room temperature and the microplate is then rewashed 4X with PBS-Tween.
Then 50 µl of peroxidase-labeled-anti-IgY conjugate diluted 1:15000 in PBS-non-fat milk is added to each well and incubated for 1.30h at RT. 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 3. The higher the OD value the higher will be the affinity of SpL to avian immunoglobulins.
