The present study describes how to process human postheparin plasma (PHP) containing hepatic triglyceride lipase (HTGL) that is utilized as a standard material of HTGL for the quantiˆcation of HTGL mass in human plasma. The optimal storage conditions for PHP were established by monitoring the stability of HTGL molecules in PHP as an antigen, which was stored in the liquid, frozen, or lyophilized state, using puriˆed human PHP HTGL as the standard material and a commercial HTGL ELISA MARUPI kit, which is a direct sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The HTGL ELISA MARUPI kit, for which the validity was conˆrmed by precision and dilution tests, showed that the immunoreactive mass of HTGL in lyophilized PHP remained stable for at least 12 months at a storage temperature of 4°C or lower. These results indicate that lyophilized PHP stored at a temperature of less than 4°C can be utilized as the standard material for the quantiˆcation of HTGL in human plasma using the HTGL ELISA MARUPI kit.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
