Principle of the Assay: The OmniKine™ Human MBL ELISA Kit contains the components necessary for quantitative determination of natural orrecombinant Human MBL concentrations within any experimental sample including cell lysates, serum and plasma. This particular immunoassay utilizes the quantitative technique of a "Sandwich" Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) where the target protein (antigen) isbound in a "sandwich" format by the primary capture antibodies coated to each well-bottom and the secondary detection antibodies added subsequently by the investigator. The capture antibodies coated to the bottom of each well are specific for a particular epitope on Human MBL while the user-added detection antibodies bind to epitopes on the captured target protein. Amid each step of the procedure, a series of wash steps must be performed to ensure the elimination of non-specific binding between proteins to other proteins or to the solid phase. After incubation and "sandwiching" of the target antigen, a peroxidase enzyme is conjugated to the constant heavy chain of the secondary antibody (either covalently or via Avidin/Streptavidin-Biotin interactions), allowing for a colorimetric reaction to ensue upon substrate addition. When the substrate TMB (3, 3', 5, 5'-Tetramethylbenzidine) is added, the reaction catalyzed by peroxidase yields a blue color that is representative of the antigen concentration. Upon sufficient color development, the reaction can be terminated through addition of Stop Solution (2 N Sulfuric Acid) where the color of the solution will turn yellow. The absorbance of each well can then be read by a spectrophotometer, allowing for generation of a standard curve and subsequent determination of protein concentration.

Background/Introduction: MBL is a calcium-dependent lectin involved in innate immune defense. It binds mannose, fructose and N-acetylglucosamine on different microorganisms and activates the lectin complement pathway. MPL also binds to late apoptotic cells, as well as to apoptotic blebs and to necrotic cells, but not to early apoptotic cells, facilitating their uptake by macrophages. MBL may bind DNA. MBL consists of an oligomeric complex of 3 or more homotrimers. This lectin interacts with MASP1 and MASP2. Interactions with MEP1A and MEP1B may inhibit their catalytic activities. Genetic variations in MBL2 influence susceptibility to hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. There is an association between low levels of MBL2 and a defect of opsonization which results in susceptibility to frequent and chronic infections.
