Rat Angiotensinogen (Total)

Angiotensinogen is the precursor of angiotensin and is cleaved into angiotensin I and II in the renin-angiotensin system, and it has long been reported to play an important role in controlling blood pressure. In recent years interest related to the role of the renin-angiotensin system in arterial pressure control and the pathophysiology of hypertension has been shifting to its local role in various tissues. Among the studies urinary excretion of angiotensinogen in a rat model of angiotensin II (AII)-dependent hypertension has been reported to be a marker of the activity of the local intrarenal renin-angiotensin system. Intrarenal AII increases to an extent in AII-dependent hypertension that cannot be explained by the plasma AII equilibration alone, and two mechanisms, an increase in intracellular uptake of AII and an increase in intrarenal expression of angiotensinogen, have been proposed to explain it.

Intended use

This ELISA kit applies to the in vitro quantitative determination of Rat Angiotensinogen (Total) concentrations in serum, plasma and other biological fluids.

Test principle

This ELISA kit uses the Sandwich-ELISA principle. The micro ELISA plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with an antigen specific to Rat Angiotensinogen (Total). Standards or samples are added to the micro ELISA plate wells and combined with the specific antigen. Then a biotinylated detection antigen specific for Rat Angiotensinogen (Total) and Avidin-Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) conjugate are added successively to each micro plate well and incubated. Free components are washed away. The substrate solution is added to each well. Only those wells that contain Rat Angiotensinogen (Total), biotinylated detection antigen and Avidin-HRP conjugate will appear blue in color. The enzyme-substrate reaction is terminated by the addition of stop solution and the color turns yellow. The optical density (OD) is measured spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 450 nm ± 2 nm. The OD value is proportional to the concentration of Rat Angiotensinogen (Total). You can calculate the concentration of Rat Angiotensinogen (Total) in the samples by comparing the OD of the samples to the standard curve.

Typical data

As the OD values of the standard curve may vary according to the conditions of the actual assay performance (e.g. operator, pipetting technique, washing technique or temperature effects), the operator should establish a standard curve for each test. Typical standard curve and data is provided below for reference only.

Precision

Intra-assay Precision (Precision within an assay):
3 samples with low, middle,high concentration of Rat Angiotensinogen (Total). And the sample of Rat Angiotensinogen (Total) were tested 30 times on one plate, respectively.
Inter-assay Precision (Precision between assays):
3 samples with low, middle,high concentration of Rat Angiotensinogen (Total). And the sample of Rat Angiotensinogen (Total) were tested on 3 different plates, 30 replicates in each plate.

Recovery

Matrices listed below were spiked with certain level of Rat Angiotensinogen (Total) and the recovery rates were calculated by comparing the measured value to the expected amount of Rat Angiotensinogen (Total) in samples.

Matrix Recovery range (%) Average Recovery (%)
Serum (n=5) 94-100 97
EDTA plasma (n=5) 87-103 94
heparin plasma (n=5) 83-96 94

Linearity

The linearity of the kit was assayed by testing samples spiked with appropriate concentration of Rat Angiotensinogen (Total) and their serial dilutions. The results were demonstrated by the percentage of calculated concentration to the expected.

    Serum (n=5) EDTA plasma (n=5) heparin plasma (n=5)
1:2 Range (%) 87-108 90-108 90-106
Average (%) 93 95 94
1:4 Range (%) 94-100 93-101 91-108
Average (%) 95 93 93
1:8 Range (%) 93-105 93-102 91-108
Average (%) 95 95 95
1:16 Range (%) 89-107 93-99 87-106
Average (%) 94 95 93

Stability

The stability of Rat Angiotensinogen (Total) is determined by the loss rate of activity. The loss rate of Rat Angiotensinogen (Total) is less than 5% within the expiration date under appropriate storage condition. To minimize extra influence on the performance, operation procedures and lab conditions, especially room temperature, air humidity, incubator temperature should be strictly controlled. It is also strongly suggested that the whole assay is performed by the same operator from the beginning to the end.
