INTRODUCTION Ghrelin, a novel growth hormone releasing peptide is an acylated peptide that stimulates the release of growth hormone from pituitary. Ghrelin is synthesized as a preprohormone, then proteolytically processed to yield a 28-amino acid peptide. An interesting and unique modification is imposed on the hormone during synthesis in the form of an n-octanoic acid bound to one of its amino acids; this modification is necessary for biologic activity. Synthesis of ghrelin occurs predominantly in epithelial cells lining the fundus of the stomach, with smaller amounts produced in the placenta, kidney, pituitary and hypothalamus.ghrelin has been implicated in regulation of hunger and long-term weight gain/loss. Ghrelin is the endogenous ligand for the growth hormone secretagogue (GHS) receptor and has potent growth hormone-releasing activity. This peptide may constitute a new regulatory mechanism for GH-release. It is conceivable that GHRP-Ghrelin may also have other functions in some tissues in addition to pituitary, because the GHS receptor is expressed in heart, lung, pancreas, intestine, and adipose tissue. Ghrelin concentrations in blood are reduced in obese humans compared to lean control subjects, but whether this is cause or effect is not defined. Patients with anorexia nervosa have higher than normal plasma ghrelin levels, which decrease if weight gain occurs. PRINCIPLE OF THE ASSAY The microtiter plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with biotin-bsa 2

and Avidin. Standards or samples are then added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells with a biotin-conjugated GHRP-Ghrelin antibody and incubated. Then Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated antibody preparation specific for GHRP-Ghrelin are added and incubated. Substrate solutions are added to each well. The enzyme-substrate reaction is terminated by the addition of a sulphuric acid solution and the color change is measured spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 450 nm ± 2 nm. The concentration of GHRP-Ghrelin in the samples is then determined by comparing the O.D. of the samples to the standard curve. DETECTION RANGE 50 pg/ml-1000 pg/ml. The standard curve concentrations used for the ELISA s were 1000 pg/ml, 500 pg/ml, 200 pg/ml, 100 pg/ml,50 pg/ml. SPECIFICITY This assay recognizes human GHRP-Ghrelin. No significant cross-reactivity or interference was observed. SENSITIVITY The minimum detectable dose of human GHRP-Ghrelin is typically less than 20 pg/ml. The sensitivity of this assay, or Lower Limit of Detection (LLD) was defined as the lowest protein concentration that could be differentiated from zero. 3

Unopened test kits should be stored at 2-8 C upon receipt and the microtiter plate should be kept in a sealed bag. The test kit may be used throughout the expiration date of the kit. Refer to the package label for the expiration date. 2. Opened test kits will remain stable until the expiring date shown, provided it is stored as prescribed above. 3. A microtiter plate reader with a bandwidth of 10 nm or less and an optical density range of 0-3 OD or greater at 450nm wavelength is acceptable for use in absorbance measurement. 4

REAGENT PREPARATION Bring all reagents to room temperature before use. 1. Wash Buffer If crystals have formed in the concentrate, warm up to room temperature and mix gently until the crystals have completely dissolved. Dilute 20 ml of Wash Buffer Concentrate into deionized or distilled water to prepare 200 ml of Wash Buffer. OTHER SUPPLIES REQUIRED Microplate reader capable of measuring absorbance at 450 nm, with the correction wavelength set at 540 nm or 570 nm. Pipettes and pipette tips. Deionized or distilled water. Squirt bottle, manifold dispenser, or automated microplate washer. SAMPLE COLLECTION AND STORAGE Serum Use a serum separator tube (SST) and allow samples to clot for 30 minutes before centrifugation for 15 minutes at 1000 g. Remove serum and assay immediately or aliquot and store samples at -20 C. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Plasma Collect plasma using citrate, EDTA, or heparin as an anticoagulant. Centrifuge for 15 minutes at 1000 g within 30 minutes of collection. Assay immediately or aliquot and store samples at -20 C. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Note: Grossly hemolyzed samples are not suitable for use in this assay. 5

ASSAY PROCEDURE Bring all reagents and samples to room temperature before use. It is recommended that all samples, standards, and controls be assayed in duplicate. 1. Add 50µl of Standard or Sample per well. Then add 50µl of Biotin-antibody to each well. Standards need test in duplicate. Mix well and then incubate for 30 min at 37 C. 2. Fill each well with Wash Buffer (about 200µl), stay for 10 seconds and Spinning. Repeat the process for a total of three washes. Complete removal of liquid at each step is essential to good performance. After the last wash, remove any remaining Wash Buffer by aspirating or decanting. Invert the plate and blot it against clean paper towels. 3. Add 50µl of HRP-conjugate to each well. Mix well and then incubate for 30 min at 37 C. 4. Wash the plate as before. 5. Add 50µl of Substrate A and 50µl of Substrate B to each well, mix well. Incubate for 15 minutes at 18-25 C. Keeping the pla te away from drafts and other temperature fluctuations in the dark. 6. Add 50µl of Stop Solution to each well. If color change does not appear uniform, gently tap the plate to ensure thorough mixing. 7. Determine the optical density of each well within 10 minutes, using a microplate reader set to 450 nm. CALCULATION OF RESULTS Average the duplicate readings for each standard, control, and sample and 6

subtract the average zero standard optical density. Create a standard curve by reducing the data using computer software capable of generating a four parameter logistic (4-PL) curve-fit. As an alternative, construct a standard curve by plotting the mean absorbance for each standard on the y-axis against the concentration on the x-axis and draw a best fit curve through the points on the graph. The data may be linearized by plotting the log of the GHRP-Ghrelin concentrations versus the log of the O.D. and the best fit line can be determined by regression analysis. This procedure will produce an adequate but less precise fit of the data. If samples have been diluted, the concentration read from the standard curve must be multiplied by the dilution factor. LIMITATIONS OF THE PROCEDURE The kit should not be used beyond the expiration date on the kit label. Do not mix or substitute reagents with those from other lots or sources. It is important that the Calibrator Diluent selected for the standard curve be consistent with the samples being assayed. If samples generate values higher than the highest standard, dilute the samples with the appropriate Calibrator Diluent and repeat the assay. Any variation in Standard Diluent, operator, pipetting technique, washing technique, incubation time or temperature, and kit age can cause variation in binding. This assay is designed to eliminate interference by soluble receptors, binding proteins, and other factors present in biological samples. Until all factors have been tested in the Quantikine Immunoassay, the possibility of interference cannot be excluded. 7

TECHNICAL HINTS When mixing or reconstituting protein solutions, always avoid foaming. To avoid cross-contamination, change pipette tips between additions of each standard level, between sample additions, and between reagent additions. Also, use separate reservoirs for each reagent. When using an automated plate washer, adding a 30 second soak period following the addition of wash buffer, and/or rotating the plate 180 degrees between wash steps may improve assay precision. To ensure accurate results, proper adhesion of plate sealers during incubation steps is necessary. Substrate Solution should remain colorless until added to the plate. Keep Substrate Solution protected from light. Substrate Solution should change from colorless to gradations of blue. Stop Solution should be added to the plate in the same order as the Substrate Solution. The color developed in the wells will turn from blue to yellow upon addition of the Stop Solution. Wells that are green in color indicate that the Stop Solution has not mixed thoroughly with the Substrate Solution. 8
