  • Data sheet
  • Background: This ELISA assay utilise the principle of competitive binding to measure the concentration of hormone in plant extracts. The trans-zeatin riboside specific antibodies are precoated to the surface of the reaction wells. The plant extract sample, containing an unknown amount of hormone, is mixed in the reaction well with a known amount of a tracer to react with a limited number of antibodies in the reaction wells. During incubation the hormone in the sample competes with the tracer for the antibody binding sites. Unbound hormone, tracer and plant extract are washed out of the reaction wells. Following substrate addition which reacts with a tracer bound to the antibody and produces a yellow-coloured product. The absorbance of the sample is converted to concentration of hormone by means of a standard curve which is produced by simultaneously treating standards along with the samples.

    Sample clean up

    Processing of plant extracts required prior ELISA analysis may vary from plant to plant and will depend upon the actual research objectivce. In most cases pigments and lipophilic material needs to be removed by C18 reversed phase chromatography and subsequently by combined DEAE-cellulose-reversed phase C18 columns.  

    Samples from algae and bacteria can be analyzed directly or after pre-purification.

     


    Example of extraction and purification from plant tissues

    Frozen  plant  tissues  are  ground  to  a  fine  powder  under  liquid  nitrogen.  The  powder  is extracted in ice-cold 70% ethanol (10 ml . g-1 FW) containing sodium diethyldithiocarbamate asantioxidant (400 ug . g-1 FW). About 420 Bq (25.000 dpm) of  [2-3H] auxin tracer is added to the extracts to monitor for losses during purification steps  and to validate the chromatographic data. After 2 h extraction, the homogenate is centrifuged (15 000 g, 4°C) and pellets re-extracted by the  same way. The  combined  extracts  are  then  purified  over  a  reversed  phase C18  column  to eliminate chlorophyll and lipids. The extracts are subsequently concentrated to approx. 1.0 ml by rotary  evaporation under vacuum  at 35°C. The  samples  are diluted  to 20 ml with ammonium acetate buffer (40 mM, pH 6.5) containing sodium diethyldithiocarbamate. For the immunoassay dilution  analysis,  the 2 ml of  eluates  is dried in  vacuo  and  re-dissolved  in Tris-buffered  saline (TBS, 50 mM Tris, 10 mM NaCl, 1 mM MgCl2, pH 7.5). Aliquots of these solutions are eitheranalysed  in serial dilutions or mixed with known amounts of IAA standards and  then analysed by ELISAs. The extracts are further purified using combined diethylaminoethylcellulose (1.0 x 5.0 cm) - octadecylsilica  (0.5 x 1.5 cm) columns. IAA and  its amino acid metabolites are  loaded onto a DEAE column cartridge which is then washed with 10 ml dest. water and eluted in 5 ml 6% HCOOH (v/v). The eluates are loaded onto a C18 cartridge and after washing with 5 ml dest. water eluted with 5 ml methanol. The eluates are than evaporated to dryness, dissolved in 50 ul 70% ethanol + 250 ul dest. water and filtered through a HPLC pre-filter (0.22 um). The IAA samples have to be methylated by diazomethane before ELISA analysis.
