INTENDED USE

The DRG Leptin Sandwich ELISA is a manual enzyme immunoassay for the quantitative measurement of leptin in human serum or Li-heparin plasma.
For in vitro diagnostic use. For laboratory professional use.
The device is intended to be used as an aid to the diagnosis of adiposity, leptin resistance, and congenital leptin deficiency.

Scientific Validity

Leptin is produced primarily in the adipocytes of white adipose tissue and circulates in blood in free form and bound to proteins (1). In mammals, leptin is pleiotropic, regulating a multitude of physiological processes. Leptin reduces appetite and food intake, and inhibits hepatic glucose production, fatty acid synthesis and the expression of resistin. In contrast, Leptin increases energy expenditure by inducing oxidation of fatty acids in liver and muscle. Moreover, Leptin stimulates  insulin secretion and glucose uptake as well as secretion of inflammatory cytokines (2,3). Leptin serves as a lipo static signal and conveys critical information regarding metabolic state to the brain by stimulating anorexic  proopiomelanocortin/cocaine and amphetamine-related transcript neurons and inhibiting orexigenic neuropeptide Y/ agouti-related protein neurons (4,5). The actions of Leptin are opposed by the hormone ghrelin. Both hormones act on receptors in the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus to regulate appetite to achieve energy homeostasis (6).
Although leptin reduces appetite as a circulating signal, obese individuals generally exhibit a higher circulating concentration of leptin than normal weight individuals due to their higher percentage body fat (7). These people show resistance to leptin, similar to resistance of insulin in type 2 diabetes, with the elevated levels failing to control hunger and modulate their weight. In obesity, a decreased sensitivity to leptin occurs, resulting in an inability to detect satiety despite high energy stores (8). Although regulation of fat stores is deemed to be the primary function of leptin, it also plays a role in other physiological processes, as evidenced by its multiple sites of synthesis other than fat cells, and the multiple cell types beside hypothalamic cells that have leptin receptors.
Leptin-deficient pathologies are typically accompanied by hyperphagia and obesity (9,10). Extreme obesity can be observed with mutations in the leptin receptor. The anorexigenic properties of leptin have been well characterized in the context of leptin-deficient humans, resulting in the reduction of food intake and body mass (11,12).
In conclusion, Leptin can be measured for the differential diagnosis of obesity with leptin resistance.

PRINCIPLE OF THE TEST

The DRG Leptin Sandwich ELISA is a solid phase enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) based on the sandwich principle.
The microtiter wells are coated with a monoclonal antibody directed towards a unique antigenic site of the leptin molecule.
During the first incubation, leptin in the added sample binds to the immobilized antibody.
Unbound sample material is washed off.
In a second incubation added antiserum, which contains biotinylated anti- leptin antibody, forms a sandwich complex with the bound leptin on the microtiter wells.
Afterwards, the unbound antiserum is washed off and streptavidin peroxidase complex (Enzyme Complex) is added for detection of the biotin molecules.
After a washing step to remove all unbound substances, the solid phase is incubated with the substrate solution. The colorimetric reaction is stopped by addition of stop solution, and optical density (OD) of the resulting yellow product is measured. The intensity of color is proportional to the concentration of the analyte in the sample.
A standard curve is constructed by plotting OD values against concentrations of standards, and concentrations of unknown samples are determined using this standard curve.

SAMPLE COLLECTION, STORAGE AND PREPARATION

The following sample material can be used in this test:
Human serum or lithium heparin plasma

Samples containing sodium azide should not be used in the assay.
In general, it should be avoided to use hemolytic, icteric, or lipaemic samples. For further information refer to chapter “Interfering Substances”.

Sample Collection

Serum: Collect blood by venipuncture (e.g. Sarstedt Monovette for serum), allow to clot, and separate serum by centrifugation at room temperature. Do not centrifuge before complete clotting has occurred. Patients receiving anticoagulant therapy may require increased clotting time.

Plasma: Whole blood should be collected into centrifuge tubes containing anticoagulant (e.g. Sarstedt Monovette with the appropriate plasma preparation) and centrifuged immediately after collection.

Samples Storage

Samples must be capped and can be stored for up to 2 months at 2 °C to 8 °C prior to performing the assay.
Samples stored for a longer time (up to 24 months) must be frozen only once at -20 °C prior to assay. Thawed samples must be inverted several times prior to testing.

Sample Dilution

If in an initial assay, a sample is found to contain more analyte than the highest standard, the sample can be diluted with Standard 0 and re-assayed as described in “Assay Procedure”.
For the calculation of the concentrations this dilution factor must be considered.

Example:

a) dilution 1: 10: 10 µL sample + 90 µL Standard 0; Mix thoroughly.
b) dilution 1 :100: 10 µL dilution a) 1:10 + 90 µL Standard 0; Mix thoroughly.

ASSAY PROCEDURE

Procedural Notes

• All reagents and samples must be allowed to come to room temperature (20 °C to 26 °C) before use.

• All reagents must be mixed without foaming.

• Do not interchange caps of reagent vials to avoid cross-contamination.

• Use new disposal plastic pipette tips for each standard, control, or sample in order to avoid carry-over.

• Mix the contents of the microtiter plate wells thoroughly to ensure good test results.

• Do not let wells dry during assay; add reagents immediately after completing the rinsing steps.

• Once the test has been started, all steps must be completed without interruption and in the same sequence for each step.

• The enzymatic reaction is linearly proportional to time and temperature.

• Optical density is a function of the incubation time and temperature. Respect the incubations times and temperatures as given in chapter “Test Procedure”.

• Before starting the assay, it is recommended that all reagents are ready, caps removed, all needed wells secured in holder, etc. This will ensure equal elapsed time for each pipetting step without interruption.

• Important note to wash procedure:
  Washing is critical. Improperly washed wells will give erroneous results. The sensitivity and precision of this assay is markedly influenced by the correct performance of the washing procedure!

• Test performance using fully automated analysis devices:
  Automated test performance using fully automated, open-system analysis devices is possible. However, the combination must be validated by the user.

Test Procedure

Each run must include a standard curve.
The controls serve as internal controls for the reliability of the test procedure. They must be assayed with each test run.
The given test procedure describes manual processing.

1. Secure the desired number of Microtiter wells in the frame holder.

2. Pipette 15 µL of each Standard, Control and sample with new disposable tips into appropriate wells.

3. Add 100 µL Assay Buffer into each well.
   Thoroughly mix for 10 seconds. It is important to have a complete mixing in this step.

4. Incubate for 120 minutes at room temperature.

5. Wash the wells as follows:
   If the wash step is performed manually:
   Briskly shake out the contents of the wells.
   Rinse the wells 3 times with 300 µL diluted Wash Solution per well.
   If an automated plate washer is used:
   Rinse the wells 3 times with 400 µL diluted Wash Solution per well.
   At the end of the washing step, always strike the wells sharply on absorbent paper to remove residual droplets.

6. Dispense 100 µL Antiserum to each well.

7. Incubate for 30 minutes at room temperature.

8. Wash as described in step 5.

9. Dispense 100 µL Enzyme Complex into each well.

10. Incubate for 30 minutes at room temperature.

11. Wash as described in step 5.

12. Add 100 µL of Substrate Solution to each well.

13. Incubate for 15 minutes at room temperature.

14. Stop the enzymatic reaction by adding 50 µL of Stop Solution to each well.

15. Measure the optical density of the solution in each well at 450 nm (reading) and at 620 nm to 630 nm (background subtraction, recommended) with a microtiter plate reader.
    It is recommended that the wells be read within 10 minutes after adding the Stop Solution.

Calculation of Results

1. Calculate the average optical density (OD) values for each set of standards, controls and patient samples.
2. Using linear graph paper, construct a standard curve by plotting the (mean) OD obtained from each standard against its concentration with OD value on the vertical (Y) axis and concentration on the horizontal (X) axis.
3. Determine the corresponding concentration from the standard curve by using the (mean) OD value for each sample.
4. Automated method: The results in the Instructions for Use have been calculated automatically using a 4-Parameter curve fit. (4-Parameter Rod bard or 4-Parameter Marquardt are the preferred methods.) Other data reduction functions may give slightly different results.
5. The concentration of the samples can be read directly from this standard curve. Samples with concentrations higher than that of the highest standard can be further diluted or must be reported as > 100 ng/mL. For the calculation of the concentrations this dilution factor must be considered.
6. For duplicate determinations, the mean of the two values must be taken. If the two values deviate substantially from one another DRG recommends retesting the samples.

The results alone should not be the only reason for any therapeutic consequences. The results must be correlated to  other clinical observations and diagnostic tests.

QUALITY CONTROL

Good laboratory practice requires that controls be run with each calibration curve. A statistically significant number of controls should be assayed to establish mean values and acceptable ranges to assure proper performance.
It is recommended to use control samples according to state and federal regulations. The use of control samples is advised to assure the day-to-day validity of results. Use controls at both normal and pathological levels.
The controls and the corresponding results of the QC-Laboratory are stated in the Certificate of Analysis (CoA) added to the kit. The values and ranges stated on the Certificate of Analysis always refer to the current kit lot and must be used for direct comparison of the results.
If available, it is also recommended to make use of national or international Quality Assessment programs in order to ensure the accuracy of the results.
Employ appropriate statistical methods for analyzing control values and trends. If the results of the assay do not fit to the established acceptable ranges of control materials patient results should be considered invalid.
In this case, please check the following technical areas: Pipetting and timing devices; photometer, expiration dates of reagents, storage and incubation conditions, aspiration and washing methods.
After checking the above-mentioned items without finding any error contact your distributor or DRG directly.

LIMITATIONS OF USE

Reliable and reproducible results will be obtained when the assay procedure is performed with a complete understanding of the instructions for use and with adherence to good laboratory practice. Any improper handling of samples or modification of this test might influence the results.

Interfering Substances

Hemoglobin (up to 4 mg/mL), bilirubin (up to 0.5 mg/mL) and triglyceride (up to 30 mg/mL) have no influence on the assay results.
A biotin concentration of up to 1200 ng/mL in a sample has no influence on the assay results.

Drug Interferences

Until today no substances (drugs) are known to us, which have an influence on the measurement of leptin in a sample.

High Dose Hook Effect

“High Dose Hook Effect” is not detected up to 5000 ng/mL of leptin.

LEGAL ASPECTS

Reliability of Results

The test must be performed exactly as per the manufacturer’s instructions for use. Moreover, the user must strictly adhere to the rules of GLP (Good Laboratory Practice) or other applicable national standards and/or laws. This is especially relevant for the use of control reagents. It is important to always include, within the test procedure, a sufficient number of controls for validating the accuracy and precision of the test.
The test results are valid only if all controls are within the specified ranges and if all other test parameters are also within the given assay specifications. In case of any doubt or concern please contact DRG.

Therapeutic Consequences

Therapeutic consequences should never be based on laboratory results alone even if all test results are in agreement with the items as stated under point 11.1. Any laboratory result is only a part of the total clinical picture of a patient.
Only in cases where the laboratory results are in acceptable agreement with the overall clinical picture of the patient should therapeutic consequences be derived.
The test result itself should never be the sole determinant for deriving any therapeutic consequences.

Liability

Any modification of the test kit and/or exchange or mixture of any components of different lots from one test kit to another could negatively affect the intended results and validity of the overall test. Such modification and/or exchanges invalidate any claim for replacement.
Claims submitted due to customer misinterpretation of laboratory results subject to point 11.2 are also invalid.
Regardless, in the event of any claim, the manufacturer’s liability is not to exceed the value of the test kit. Any damage caused to the test kit during transportation is not subject to the liability of the manufacturer.

Reporting of Serious Incident

Any serious incident that has occurred in relation to the device shall be reported to the manufacturer and the competent authority of the Member State in which the user and/or the patient is established.
