DESCRIPTION

MAFF is a member of the small Maf protein family (MafF, MafG, MafK) within the basic region leucine zipper (bZIP) transcription factor superfamily. It can form homodimers or heterodimers with other bZIP proteins (e.g., Nrf2, Bach1) to regulate gene expression by binding to antioxidant response elements (AREs) or Maf recognition elements (MAREs). MAFF plays critical roles in cellular defense against oxidative stress, erythrocyte differentiation, and neuronal development. It is highly expressed in specific tissues, including the liver, kidney, and hematopoietic cells.

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 8 times on one plate to assess intra-assay precision. Inter-assay Precision (Precision between assays) Three samples of known concentration were tested in 16 separate assays to assess inter-assay precision.

Intra-assay Precision

Sample	n	Mean (ng/mL)	SD	CV%
1	8	5.27	0.34	6.54
2	8	1.16	0.11	9.50
3	8	0.61	0.05	8.61

Inter-assay Precision

Sample	n	Mean (ng/mL)	SD	CV%
1	16	5.20	0.51	9.72
2	16	1.26	0.15	12.27
3	16	0.61	0.06	9.26

RECOVERY

The recovery of human MAFF spiked to three different levels throughout the range of the assay in cell lysate was evaluated.

Sample Type		Average% of Expected	Range (%)
Cell lysate	1:32	90	83-95

LINEARITY

To assess the linearity of the assay, samples were diluted with the appropriate Sample Diluent to produce samples with values within the dynamic range of the assay. (The cell lysate was initially diluted 1:16.)

		Cell lysate
1:2	Average% of Expected	100
	Range (%)	-
1:4	Average% of Expected	89
	Range (%)	87-91
1:8	Average% of Expected	115
	Range (%)	102-127
1:16	Average% of Expected	115
	Range (%)	107-122
