Etanercept (Enbrel) Pharmacokinetic ELISA

-20C, 1 year

The Etanercept ELISA kit is designed to measure free Etanercept with high specificity and sensitivity . This assay employs the sandwich enzyme immunoassay technique. A precoated anti-Etanercept 96 well plate is provided. Calibrator, quality control samples and test samples are pipetted into the appropriate wells. Etanercept present in biological matrices is bound by the immobilized capture antibody. After washing away any unbound substances, enzyme linked detection antibody is added to the wells. The plate is washed to remove any unbound antibody-enzyme reagent and a substrate solution is added to the wells for color development. The color development is proportional to the amount of Etanercept present in test samples and the concentration is calculated from the standard series.

Etanercept (trade name Enbrel®) is a protein drug used to treat autoimmune diseases by adsorbing tumor necrosis factor (TNF; a soluble inflammatory cytokine). Etanercept is a fusion protein produced through expression of recombinant DNA by linking the extracellular ligand-binding portion of TNFRSF1B to the Fc component of human immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1). It reduces the effect of naturally present TNF, functioning as a decoy receptor that binds to TNF. Etanercept is indicated for the treatment of moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis (RA), psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and moderately to severely active polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis. Serum concentration of Enbrel® may predict some clinical outcome during maintenance therapy.

Prepare only the appropriate amount of required reagent on the day of use. Store all reagents as per instructions stated on the label. 1. Wash Buffer (1X) Preparation: Dilute wash buffer concentrate with ultra-pure water 1/10 before use (for example add 20mL concentrate to 180mL ultra-pure water). Mix well. 2. Detection Reagent (1X) Preparation: Dilute detection reagent with assay buffer 1/1000 before use (for example add 11μl concentrate to 11ml of assay buffer). Mix well. 3. Preparation of Calibrators: Prepare calibrators with concentrations ranging from 2500 ng/mL to 78 ng/mL. The following is an example calibrator curve.

This kit is compatible with EDTA-plasma, heparinplasma and serum samples. Samples can be stored at or below -20°C for up to 1 year.
