DESCRIPTION

SAMHD1, highly expressed by monocytes and monocyte-derived dendritic cells and by monocyte-derived macrophages at a lower extent, is reported as an HIV-1 restriction factor that inhibits the early step of the HIV-1 life cycle. Vpx (virus-like particles containing viral protein X) could overcome this block by interacting with SAMHD1, inducing proteasome-dependent degradation of SAMHD1. Mutations in SAMHD1 cause Aicardi-Goutières syndrome, a genetic encephalopathy with presumed immune pathogenesis.

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	38.38	1.75	4.56
2	8	10.07	0.41	4.03
3	8	4.52	0.21	4.62

Inter-assay Precision

Sample	n	Mean (ng/mL)	SD	CV%
1	16	38.72	1.43	3.7
2	16	9.54	0.64	6.7
3	16	4.56	0.27	5.9

RECOVERY

The recovery of human SAMHD1 spiked to three different levels throughout the range of the assay in cell lysate was evaluated.

Sample Type		Average% of Expected	Range (%)
Cell lysate	1:80	115	111-121

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 1:40. )

		Cell lysate
1:2	Average% of Expected	100
	Range (%)	-
1:4	Average% of Expected	98
	Range (%)	97-99
1:8	Average% of Expected	108
	Range (%)	104-112
1:16	Average% of Expected	100
	Range (%)	97-102
