DESCRIPTION

CD5 molecule-like (CD5L), also known as apoptosis inhibitor expressed by macrophages (AIM), SP-alpha, apoptosis inhibitor 6 (API6), is a member of the scavenger receptor cysteine-rich (SRCR) family of proteins. CD5L is a soluble protein mainly secreted by macrophages in lymphoid and inflamed tissues. It contains three SRCR domains, each approximately 100 amino acids in length with sialic acid content at a potential region of O-linked glycosylation between SRCR domains 1 and 2. Additionally, CD5L is involved in different processes such as metabolism, infection, and autophagy.

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	9.27	0.59	6.42
2	8	2.58	0.13	5.08
3	8	1.36	0.08	5.83

Inter-assay Precision

Sample	n	Mean (ng/mL)	SD	CV%
1	16	9.81	0.92	9.36
2	16	2.59	0.14	5.45
3	16	1.30	0.11	8.20

RECOVERY

The recovery of mouse CD5L spiked to three different levels throughout the range of the assay in mouse serum was evaluated.

Sample Type		Average% of Expected	Range (%)
Mouse serum	1:16	118	113-125
	1:32	115	109-120

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 mouse serum was initially diluted 1:8. )

		Mouse serum
1:2	Average% of Expected	100
	Range (%)	-
1:4	Average% of Expected	108
	Range (%)	106-110
1:8	Average% of Expected	113
	Range (%)	109-116
1:16	Average% of Expected	81
	Range (%)	78-83

CALIBRATION

This immunoassay is calibrated against a highly purified recombinant mouse CD5L produced at Sunlong Medical™.
