      BackgroundHuman lactoferrin (LTF) is an 80 kDa glycoprotein found in many mucosal secretions. Blood LTF is secreted from neutrophils and its plasma concentration is considered to be an indicator of neutrophil turnover. LTF's bactericidal properties are attributed to its strong iron binding capacity. During inflammation, LTF is often released into the extracellular medium from secondary granules of neutrophils. Therefore, its extracellular concentration can be used as an index of neutrophil activation, especially in blood samples containing anti-myeloperoxidase antibodies.
      Principles of the assayThe lactoferrin assay kit uses an enzyme-linked immunoassay (ELISA) method. Samples are incubated in the wells of a divided microplate that have been coated with a primary monoclonal antibody to LTF. The presence of LTF is detected using a biotinylated-monoclonal antibody to LTF. The final step in the assay uses amplification based on biotin-avidin coupling where avidin has been covalently linked to horseradish peroxidase (HRP). The amount of LTF is measured colorimetrically upon addition of the HRP substrate o-phenylenediamine (OPD).

      PreparationNote: If necessary, dilute the samples with sample diluting buffer. Add 100 µl of sample per well. 1. Blood plasma Draw venous blood into a glass test tube that contains EDTA as an anticoagulant. Whole blood should be stored at 4°C. Centrifuge whole blood at 3000 x g for 10 min at 4°C and recover the resulting plasma supernatant. Plasma samples can be stored at 4°C for up to 24 h. For longer storage, freeze the samples at -20°C. Avoid freeze/thaw cycles. Ideally, plasma separation should be performed within 6 h. Plasma samples should be diluted 1:40 (v/v) in sample diluting buffer, for LTF values in the range 45-to-3000 ng/ml. With higher concentrations of LTF, greater dilutions will be required. Note: Heparin may interfere with LTF measurements. 2. Urine Urine should be recovered in clean flasks. Samples that are turbid, due to the presence of cellular or crystalline residues, should be clarified by centrifugation at 1000 x g for 10 minutes. Such samples can be stored at 4°C for up to 3 days, with or without pH adjustment. If the measured concentration of LTF is greater than 100 ng/ml in urine, dilute with sample diluting buffer. Otherwise, use undiluted sample. 3. Broncho-alveolar lavage (BAL) If the measured concentration of LTF is greater than 100 ng/ml, dilute with sample diluting buffer. Otherwise, use undiluted sample. 4. Cerebrospinal fluid If the measured concentration of LTF is greater than 100 ng/ml, dilute with sample diluting buffer. Otherwise, use undiluted sample. 5. Supernatants after centrifugation of cell cultures In a number of experimental conditions, LTF is released from human cells in culture. The Lactoferrin ELISA Kit can be used to assay LTF in culture medium that contains up to 20% fetal calf serum (FCS). However, if the measured concentration of LTF is greater than 100 ng/ml, samples should be diluted in sample diluting buffer
      Reagent preparationAll solutions must be kept at room temperature for 30 min before use. • Sample Diluting Buffer: The original solution is ready for use. • LTF Standard: Prepare a solution of LTF standard by adding 3.0 ml of Sample Diluting Buffer to the lyophilized protein. Exercise caution when opening the original vacuum-sealed bottle. The resulting solution may be stored at 4°C for up to 3 days. For longer term storage, aliquot and store at -70°C. To prepare a standard curve pipette 100 µl of sample diluting buffer in wells B1 through H1, as shown below. Well H1 will serve as the negative control. Pipette 200 µl of LTF standard, solution in well A1 as shown. Perform serial dilutions by transferring 100 µl from one well into the next one as shown. After each transfer, mix thoroughly using 4 suctions at each step with a pipette. Mix slowly in order to avoid foaming. Use a fresh pipette tip for each well. Cover the wells with adhesive paper and incubate at 37°C for 1 h.

      Figure 1: Organization of standards and samples on microplates.

      • Washing Solution (20x): The original buffer should be diluted 1:20 prior to use. Once prepared, the diluted washing buffer (1x) can be stored for up to 5 days at room temperature.

      Table 1: Washing solution dilutions

      • Biotinylated anti-LTF Solution: This reagent must be diluted ~1:250 in Diluting Buffer prior to use.

      Table 2: Anti-LTF solution dilutions

      • Avidin-HRP Solution: This reagent must be diluted ~1:250 in Diluting Buffer prior to use.

      Table 3: Avidin-HRP solution dilutions

      • OPD Solution: The OPD solution should be prepared 5 min prior to use. Dissolve the required number of OPD tablets in OPD Diluting Buffer. Tablets can be dissolved more quickly using a magnetic stirrer.

      2. Anti-LTF incubation

      Prepare the required volume of diluted biotinylated anti-LTF. Empty the microplate. Wash each well 5 times with washing buffer diluted 1:20. Drain the residual washing solution on absorbing paper. Add 100 µl of diluted biotinylated anti-LTF to each well. Cover the wells with adhesive paper and incubate at 37°C for 1 h.

      3. Avidin-HRP incubation

      Prepare the required volume of diluted avidin-horseradish peroxidase solution. Empty the microplate. Wash each well 5 times with washing buffer diluted 1:20. Drain the residual washing solution on absorbing paper. Add 100 µl of diluted avidin-horseradish peroxidase solution into each well. Cover the wells with adhesive paper and incubate at 37°C for 15 min.

      4. Colorimetric measurement
      Prepare the required volume of OPD solution. Empty the microplate. Wash each well 5 times with Washing Buffer diluted 1:20. Drain the residual washing solution on absorbing paper. Add 100 µl of prepared OPD solution to each well. Cover the wells with adhesive paper and incubate at 37°C for about 5-10 min until the absorbance of well number 1 (100 ng/ml) reaches approximately 1-1.5. Add 50 µl of Stop Solution into each well. Read the absorbance at 450 nm.
      CalculationsThe standard curve is obtained by plotting the absorbance at 450 nm as a function of the logarithm of standard LTF concentrations in ng/ml. Sample values are then obtained by interpolation or more accurately by using a third-order polynomial regression. The two modes of standard curve plotting are illustrated in Figure 3.

      Sensitivity NotesFrom 36 repeated measurements performed on sample blank with the same microplate within a single day, the detection limit of the assay was found to be 1 ng/ml.
