Untersuchung des Chemokins MIP-3 β/CCL19<br />
Measurement of CCL19<br />
Concentrations of CCL19 in the CSF and serum were determined by sandwich<br />
ELISA (Enzyme linked immunoabsorbent assay). An ELISA Kit specific for canine<br />
MIP-3β/CCL19 (E90096Ca 96 Tests) was used according to manufacturer’s<br />
instructions (Uscn Life Science Inc., Wuhan, P.R. China). Briefly, the microtiter plate<br />
provided in the ELISA kit has been pre-coated with a monoclonal antibody specific to<br />
MIP-3β/CCL19. CSF samples were used undiluted or were tapered down to a dilution<br />
of 1:13 with the standard diluent depending on the CCL19 output concentration.<br />
Serum samples were used undiluted for the ELISA. Seven wells were prepared for<br />
the dilutions of standard, one well for blank and the rest of the 96 wells were used for<br />
the CSF and serum samples. Four CSF and serum samples of the IE group served<br />
as a control and one of these IE samples was pipetted to the plates in each<br />
experiment. As a positive control served CSF and serum samples of the neuroinflammatory<br />
group and the same sample was used in each experiment at same<br />
dilution.<br />
After a two hours incubation time at 37°C in humidified air with 5% CO2 in an<br />
incubator (SANYO Sales & Marketing Europe GmbH, Munich), the liquid of each well<br />
was removed. A biotin- conjugated polyclonal antibody preparation (Uscn Life<br />
Science Inc., Wuhan, P.R. China) specific for CCL19 was added to each well.<br />
Following a one hour incubation time the wells were washed three times with wash<br />
buffer solution (Uscn Life Science Inc., Wuhan, P.R. China). Avidin conjugated to<br />
horseradish peroxidase (Uscn Life Science Inc., Wuhan, P.R. China) was pipetted to<br />
each well and incubated for 30 minutes at 37° C. The wash process was repeated for<br />
total of five times as conducted before. Subsequently the TMB (3,3´,5,5´-<br />
Tetramethylbenzidine) substrate was pipetted to the plate.<br />
The enzyme-substrate reaction was terminated by the addition of sulphuric acid<br />
solution (Uscn Life Science Inc., Wuhan, P.R. China) and the color change measured<br />
spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 450nm ± 10nm on a microplate reader<br />
equipped with the analysis software Gen 5 (Synergy2 HT multi-mode microplate<br />
reader, BioTek Instruments Inc., Bad Friedrichshall Germany).<br />
