IMUBIND® Plasma PAI-1 ELISA

INTENDED USE
The IMUBIND® Plasma PAI-1 ELISA is an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the quantitative measurement of human Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor Type-1 (PAI-1) antigen in plasma. This assay is for in vitro diagnostic use.

EXPLANATION OF THE TEST
Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor Type-1 (PAI-1), a primary regulator of fibrinolysis, has been found in a number of different tissues, and cell types including macrophages/monocytes, hepatocytes, vascular endothelia, adipose tissue of the heart and lungs, and in platelets.1,2 The clinical interest in measuring PAI-1 in plasma is based on case studies in which levels of this serine protease inhibitor are associated with various thrombotic and fibrinolytic complications. Deficiency of PAI-1 activity is associated with bleeding disorders wherein the routine haemostatic screening tests are normal.3,4 High levels of PAI-1 activity are found in patients suffering from myocardial infarction, haemolytic uremic syndrome, and stroke.5-9 Levels of PAI-1 in the plasma of pregnant women are also correlated with gestational diabetes, reduced placental blood flow and preeclampsia.10,11,12 Patients with cirrhosis may also have elevated levels of PAI-1.13

PRINCIPLE OF THE PROCEDURE
The IMUBIND® Plasma PAI-1 ELISA uses microwells coated with a mouse monoclonal antibody directed against human PAI-1. PAI-1 standards and plasma samples are added to the wells and the antibody captures the PAI-1 antigen present during an incubation period. A peroxidase conjugated antibody against human PAI-1 is added to the well and this conjugate binds to the captured PAI-1 molecules. All unbound material is washed away and a peroxidase reactive enzyme substrate, ortho-phenylenediamine (OPD) is added to the wells. The subsequent peroxidase/substrate reaction yields a yellow colored solution. Addition of sulfuric acid stops the reaction and turns the color of the solution color orange. The absorbance of the solution is measured at 490 nm. The absorbance is directly proportional to the amount of PAI-1 present in the sample.
