DESCRIPTION

A glycosylphosphatidyl-inositol-(GPI)-anchored glycoprotein, carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA)-related cell adhesion molecule 8 (CEACAM8), also known as CD66b, NCA-95 and CD67, was identified in human neutrophils. It is solely expressed by granulocytes, of which 95% are polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN). CEACAM8 is cell-adhesion proteins on neutrophils that belong to the human carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) family. CEA family members are believed to function as intercellular adhesion molecules in vitro. CEACAM8 has been shown to adhere to the closely related molecule CEACAM6 (NCA-50/90 and CD66c), suggesting a role in the interaction between granulocytes or between granulocytes and epithelial cells expressing CEACAM6 in vivo.

PRINCIPLE OF THE ASSAY

Sandwich ELISA structure (Detection antibody labeled with HRP) A capture antibody is pre-coated onto the bottom of wells which binds to analyte of interest. A detection antibody labeled with HRP also binds to the analyte. TMB acts as the HRP substrate and the solution color will change from colorless to blue. A stop solution containing sulfuric acid turns solution yellow. The color intensity is proportional to the quantity of bound protein which is measurable at 450 nm with the correction wavelength set at 630 nm.

PRECISION

Intra-assay Precision (Precision within an assay) Three samples of known concentration were tested 20 times on one plate to assess intra-assay precision. Inter-assay Precision (Precision between assays) Three samples of known concentration were tested in 24 separate assays to assess inter-assay precision.

Intra-assay Precision

Sample	n	Mean (pg/mL)	SD	CV%
1	20	1,597.9	72.9	4.6
2	20	350.9	25.1	7.2
3	20	87.7	7.0	8.0

Inter-assay Precision

Sample	n	Mean (pg/mL)	SD	CV%
1	24	1,683.8	113.4	6.7
2	24	378.7	36.6	9.7
3	24	17.8	1.8	9.9

RECOVERY

The recovery of human CEACAM8/CD66b spiked to three different levels throughout the range of the assay in various matrices was evaluated.

Sample Type		Average% of Expected	Range (%)
Human serum	1:8	83	77-92
Cell culture supernatant	1:4	101	98-107

LINEARITY

To assess the linearity of the assay, cell culture supernatant samples were spiked with high concentrations of human CEACAM8/CD66b and diluted with the appropriate Sample Diluent to produce samples with values within the dynamic range of the assay. Human serum samples were diluted with the appropriate Sample Diluent to produce samples with values within the dynamic range of the assay.

		Human serum	Cell culture supernatant
1:2	Average% of Expected	100	91
	Range (%)	-	90-92
1:4	Average% of Expected	107	93
	Range (%)	106-108	91-94
1:8	Average% of Expected	118	101
	Range (%)	109-127	88-113
1:16	Average% of Expected	113	116
	Range (%)	108-118	115-117
