Colorimetric
In this assay the
alpha 2-macroglobulin (A2M) present in samples reacts with the anti-A2M antibodies which have
been adsorbed to the surface of polystyrene microtiter wells. After the removal of unbound
proteins by washing, anti-A2M antibodies conjugated with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) are
added. These enzyme-labeled antibodies form complexes with the previously bound A2M.
Following another washing step, the bound enzyme is assayed by the addition of a chromogenic
substrate, 3,3’,5,5’-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB). The quantity of bound enzyme varies directly with the concentration of A2M in the sample tested; thus, the absorbance, at 450 nm, is a measure
of the concentration of alpha 2-macroglobulin in the test sample. The quantity of A2M in the test
sample can be interpolated from the standard curve constructed from the standards and corrected
for sample dilution.
