Intended use 
This immunoassay kit allows for the in vitro quantitative determination of General ALD concentrations in serum, Plasma, tissue homogenates and Cell culture supernates and Other biological fluids. 
Test principle 
The ELISA is based on the competitive binding enzyme immunoassay technique. The microtiter plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with an antibody specific to General ALD, During the reaction, General ALD in the sample or standard competes with a fixed amount of biotin-labeled General ALD for sites on a pre-coated Monoclonal antibody specific to General. Excess conjugate and unbound sample or standard are washed from the plate. Next, Avidin conjugated to Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to each microplate well and incubated. Then a TMB substrate solution is added to each well. The enzyme-substrate reaction is terminated by the addition of a sulphuric acid solution and the color change is measured spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 450 nm ± 2 nm. The concentration of General ALD in the samples is then determined by comparing the O.D. of the samples to the standard curve.

Linearity

The linearity of the kit was assayed by testing samples spiked with appropriate concentration of Aldosterone and their serial dilutions. The results were demonstrated by the percentage of calculated concentration to the expected.

Sample	1：2	1:4	1:8	1:16
serum(n=5)	101-112%	111-121%	88-99%	81-90%
EDTA plasma(n=5)	89-102%	107-117%	107-119%	105-115%
heparin plasma(n=5)	105-116%	101-112%	105-117%	116-126%

 

General Annotation

 

Function:

Aldosterone is a yellow steroid hormone (mineralocorticoid family) produced by the outer-section (zona glomerulosa) of the adrenal cortex in the adrenal gland, and acts mainly on the distal tubules and collecting ducts of the nephron, the functioning unit of the kidney, to cause the conservation of sodium, secretion of potassium, increased water retention, and increased blood pressure. The overall effect of aldosterone is to increase reabsorption of ions and water in the kidney -- increasing blood volume and, therefore, increasing blood pressure.

 

Location:

Steroid receptors are intracellular. The aldosterone mineralcorticoid receptor (MR) complex binds on the DNA to specific hormone response element, which leads to gene specific transcription.
