Product Description
The use of E. coli for recombinant expression in the production of some proteins and plasmid DNA is a relatively simple and cost-effective way. The processes that use E. coli for product production are likely to contaminate host cell proteins (HCPs) from E. coli, and this contamination may reduce the efficacy of therapeutic drugs and lead to undesirable toxic or immune responses, so that the level of this contaminant needs to be minimized during purification of therapeutic drugs for use in humans or animals. ELISA is a simple to use, sensitive and objective test for HCPs. This kit uses the principle of double-antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (sandwich ELISA) to detect the residual E.coli HCP in samples . First, add the E.coli HCP standard and test sample to the Anti-E.coli HCP coated microtiter strips (36712-A) then add the diluted biotin labeled Anti-E.coli HCP antibod
y (36712-C) and finally add Streptavidin-H RP (36712-D) to form an antibody + antigen + antibody-Biotin + SA-HRP complex. Subsequently, add TMB substra te (36712-G) i n to the complex to observe color reaction after washing the complex. TMB was converted from colorless to blue and finally to yellow in the presence of termination solution (36712-H) catalyzed by HRPase. Shades of yellow were positively correlated with the amount of E. coli HCP detected in the sample. This kit can be used for the optimization of the purification process of biologics, the control of impurities in intermediate processes, and the release testing of final products. The detection range of this kit is 3.125~200 ng/mL; the lower detection limit is 2.22 n g/mL.

Figure 1. The specificity of E.coli HCP ELISA kit was shown in the figure above 9 samples were estimated for the non-specific reaction with the antibodies in the kit. The concentration of the 9 samples were all below the Limit of Quantitation (LOQ) (2.22 ng/mL) Precision Display A) Repeatability Spiked sample Intra-Assay Duplicates Average Conc.

Accuracy Validation Three concentrations of E.coli HCP standards, high, medium and low, were spiked to 10 μg/mL of E.coli expressed purified protein (several residue-free HCP) in equal proportions, while the sample spiked at the high value was made a multiplicative dilution. HCP in the doubly diluted samples, as well as in samples of different spiked concentrations, and in unspiked samples was detected with linear and spiked recoveries ranging from 80% to 120%. Spiked recovery = measured value / (spiked standard x 50% + spiked specimen value x 50%) Table 2.
