It is considered to be the principal regulator of the extrinsic coagulation pathway, hemostasis and thrombosis, as well as inflammation and cellular immune response. An in-house two-step direct sandwich ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) for immunological quantification of plasma TF was successfully developed. The assay employed a monoclonal antibody against human TF (1:400 dilution; 1250 nglml) and peroxidase-conjugated anti-TF IgG(1:1000 dilution; 2000 ng/ml) as capture and detecting antibodies respectively, whilst tetramethylbenzidine/H202 were utilized as substrates. Titration curves of recombinant TF were linear within 10 to 4000 pglml, with a detection limit of 36.3 1 pglml. It demonstrated low intra- (2.50 - 9.23 CV%) and inter-assays (5.65 - 13.57 CV%) variability, as well as satisfactory analytical recovery (91.55 - 103.95%) and good parallelism. The assay developed was intended to be applied for measurement of plasma TF levels in patients with thrombotic disorders. | Item Type: | Journal |
