Intended use
This immunoassay kit allows for the in vitro quantitative determination of General CS 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 CS, During the reaction, General CS in the sample or standard competes with a fixed amount of biotin-labeled General CS for sites on a pre-coated Monoclonal antibody specific to General CS. 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 CS in the samples is then determined by comparing the O.D. of the samples to the standard curve.

Precision

Intra-assay Precision (Precision within an assay):Three samples of known concentration were tested twenty times on one plate to assess intra-assay precision.

Intra-Assay CV: ≤6.2%

Inter-assay Precision (Precision between assays):Three samples of known concentration were tested in five separate assays to assess inter-assay precision.

Inter-Assay CV: ≤7.8%

Recovery

Recovery was determined by spiking various levels of Chondroitin sulfate into serum and plasma.

Sample Type	Average(%)	Recovery Range(%)
Serum	87	81-93
Plasma	89	83-95

 

 

 

 

Linearity

The linearity of the kit was assayed by testing samples spiked with appropriate concentration of Chondroitin sulfate 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)	105-114%	105-114%	100-110%	107-107%
EDTA plasma(n=5)	104-114%	93-102%	95-106%	93-102%
heparin plasma(n=5)	110-119%	97-108%	86-95%	107-116%

 

General Annotation

 

Function:

Chondroitin sulfate readily interacts with proteins in the extracellular matrix due to its negative charges. These interactions are important for regulating a diverse array of cellular activities. The lecticans are a major part of the brain extracellular matrix, where the chondroitin sugar chains function to stabilize normal brain synapses as part of perineuronal nets. The levels of chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans are vastly increased after injury to the central nervous system where they act to prevent regeneration of damaged nerve endings. Although these functions are not as well characterized as those of heparan sulfate, new roles continue to be discovered for the chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans.

 

Location:

Chondroitin sulfate is a sulfated glycosaminoglycan (GAG) composed of a chain of alternating sugars (N-acetylgalactosamine and glucuronic acid). It is usually found attached to proteins as part of a proteoglycan. A chondroitin chain can have over 100 individual sugars, each of which can be sulfated in variable positions and quantities. Chondroitin sulfate is an important structural component of cartilage and provides much of its resistance to compression. Along with glucosamine, chondroitin sulfate has become a widely used dietary supplement for treatment of osteoarthritis.
