INTRODUCTION Analyzing the expression profiles of angiogenesis-related proteins is helpful in understanding the roles these molecules play in mechanisms related to the physiological process of developing new blood vessels. The Human Angiogenesis Array kit is a rapid, sensitive, and economical tool to simultaneously detect the relative levels of expression of angiogenesis related proteins without performing individual assays for each protein. PRINCIPLE OF THE ASSAY Carefully selected capture antibodies have been spotted in duplicate on nitrocellulose membranes. Samples are diluted and mixed with a cocktail of biotinylated detection antibodies. The sample/antibody mixture is then incubated with the Human Angiogenesis Array. Any protein/detection antibody complex present is bound by its cognate immobilized capture antibody on the membrane. Following a wash to remove unbound material, Streptavidin-HRP and chemiluminescent detection reagents are added sequentially. Light is produced at each spot in proportion to the amount of analyte bound. Refer to the Appendix for a list and coordinates of analytes and controls. TECHNICAL HINTS FOR RESEARCH USE ONLY. NOT FOR USE IN DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES. This 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. Substitution of some high intensity chemiluminescent reagents for Chemi Reagents and may cause either increased background or diminished signal depending on the reagent. Any variation in sample handling, buffers, operator, pipetting technique, washing technique, and incubation time or temperature can alter the performance of the kit. The Human Angiogenesis Array membranes are validated for single use only. Always use gloved hands and flat-tipped tweezers to handle the membranes. Pick up the membranes from the edge on the side with the identification number avoiding the area with the printed antibodies. A thorough and consistent wash technique is essential for proper assay performance. Individual arrays should be washed in separate containers to minimize background. Wash Buffer should be removed completely from the membrane before proceeding to the next step. Do not allow the membrane to dry out. This will cause high background. Avoid microbial contamination of reagents and buffers. Soluble receptors and other proteins present in biological samples do not necessarily interfere with the measurement of analytes in samples. Until these proteins have been tested with the Human Angiogenesis Array, the possibility of interference cannot be excluded.

SAMPLE COLLECTION & STORAGE The sample collection and storage conditions listed below are intended as general guidelines. Sample stability has not been evaluated.

ARRAY PROCEDURE Bring all reagents to room temperature before use. Keep samples on ice. To avoid contamination, wear gloves while performing the procedures.. Prepare all reagents and samples as directed in the previous sections.. Pipette. ml of Array Buffer into each well of the -Well Multi-dish to be used. Array Buffer serves as a block buffer. 3. Using flat-tip tweezers, remove each membrane to be used from between the protective sheets and place in a well of the -Well Multi-dish. The number on the membrane should be facing upward. Note: Upon contact with Array Buffer, the blue dye from the spots will disappear, but the capture antibodies are retained in their specific locations.. Incubate for one hour on a rocking platform shaker. Orient the tray so that each membrane rocks end to end in its well.. While the membranes are blocking, prepare samples by adding up to ml of each sample to. ml of Array Buffer in separate tubes. Adjust to a final volume of. ml with Array Buffer as necessary.. Add μl of reconstituted Detection Antibody Cocktail to each prepared sample. Mix and incubate at room temperature for one hour.. Aspirate Array Buffer from the wells of the -Well Multi-dish and add sample/antibody mixtures prepared in steps and. Place the lid on the -Well Multi-dish.. Incubate overnight at - C on a rocking platform shaker. Note: A shorter incubation time may be used if optimal sensitivity is not required. 9. Carefully remove each membrane and place into individual plastic containers with ml of X Wash Buffer. Rinse the -Well Multi-dish with deionized or distilled water and dry thoroughly.. Wash each membrane with X Wash Buffer for minutes on a rocking platform shaker. Repeat two times for a total of three washes.. Dilute the Streptavidin-HRP in Array Buffer using the dilution factor on the vial label. Pipette. ml of diluted Streptavidin-HRP into each well of the -Well Multi-dish.. Carefully remove each membrane from its wash container. Allow excess buffer to drain from the membrane. Return the membrane to the -Well Multi-dish containing the diluted Streptavidin-HRP. Cover the wells with the lid. 3. Incubate for 3 minutes at room temperature on a rocking platform shaker. For research use only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.
ARRAY PROCEDURE CONTINUED. Wash each array as described in steps 9 and. Note: Complete the remaining steps without interruption.. Carefully remove each membrane from the wash container. Allow excess Wash Buffer to drain from the membrane by blotting the lower edge onto paper towels. Place each membrane on the bottom sheet of a plastic sheet protector with the identification number facing up.. Pipette ml of the prepared Chemi Reagent Mix evenly onto each membrane. Note: Using less than ml of Chemi Reagent Mix per membrane may result in incomplete membrane coverage.. Carefully cover with the top sheet of the plastic sheet protector. Gently smooth out any air bubbles and ensure Chemi Reagent Mix is spread evenly to all corners of each membrane. Incubate for minute at room temperature.. Position paper towels on the top and sides of the plastic sheet protector containing the membranes and carefully squeeze out excess Chemi Reagent Mix. 9. Remove the top plastic sheet protector and carefully lay an absorbent lab wipe on top of the membranes to blot off any remaining Chemi Reagent Mix.. Leaving membranes on the bottom plastic sheet protector, cover the membranes with plastic wrap taking care to gently smooth out any air bubbles. Wrap the excess plastic wrap around the back of the sheet protector so that the membranes and sheet protector are completely wrapped.. Place the membranes in an autoradiography film cassette with the identification numbers facing up. Note: Use an autoradiography cassette that is not used with radioactive isotope detection.. Expose membranes to X-ray film for - minutes. Multiple exposure times are recommended. www.rndsystems.com
DATA ANALYSIS The positive signals seen on developed film can be quickly identified by placing the transparency overlay on the array image and aligning it with the pairs of reference spots in three corners of each array. The stamped identification number on the array should be placed on the left hand side. The location of controls and capture antibodies is listed in the Appendix. Note: Reference spots are included to align the transparency overlay template and to demonstrate that the array has been incubated with Streptavidin-HRP during the assay procedure. Pixel densities on developed X-ray film can be collected and analyzed using a transmissionmode scanner and image analysis software.. Create a template to analyze pixel density in each spot of the array.. Export signal values to a spreadsheet file for manipulation in a program such as Microsoft Excel. 3. Determine the average signal (pixel density) of the pair of duplicate spots representing each angiogenesis-related protein.. Subtract an averaged background signal from each spot. Use a signal from a clear area of the array or negative control spots as a background value.. Compare corresponding signals on different arrays to determine the relative change in angiogenesis-related proteins between samples.
