Background:  Monoamine Oxidase A (MAO-A) is responsible for degrading monoamine neruotransmitters that include dopamine, norepinephrin, and serotonin.  MOA-A is mostly found in the outer mitochondrial membrane of neural and cardiac cells.  Low levels of MAO-A are correlated with autism and Brunner syndrome, and abnormal activity of Monoamine Oxidase is associated with psychological disorders like ADD, bipolar affective disorder, and major depressive disorder.  Monoamine oxidase is the target of inhbitors treating neurological disorders.

Deamination reaction catalyzed by Monoamine Oxidase



Methods Overview 

Sandwich ELISA Format 1:  The ELISA micro-strip plate is provided pre-coated with an a monoclonal capture antibody selective to the antigen.  Samples are pre-mixed with provided  biotin-linked detection antibody and streptavidin-HRP solutions, which are then added to the plate and incubated for 60min.  The plate is washed  and color reagents are added, resulting in a reaction with HRP.  A stop solution is applied and the resulting yellow solution is measured at 450nm.

Sandwich ELISA Format 2:  The included ELISA 96-well micro-strip plate is provided pre-coated with an affinity purified rabbit polyclonal antibody selective to the antigen.  Upon addition of samples to the wells, the antigen in solution binds to the antibody and becomes indirectly linked to the solid support.  After washes of unbound materials, a second affinity purified polyclonal antibody conjugated with horse-radish peroxidase (HRP) is added, followed by a second incubation period.  Unbound antibody is washed, and then color reagents are added, which upon conversion by HRP, become blue colored.  A stop solution is added to block further reaction between HRP and the colorimetric substrates, converting the solution into a yellow coloration.  An absorbance multiplate reader is used to quantitate the colorimetric reaction at 450 nm.  This assay requires approximately 2.5 hrs to complete at RT.

Steps of Sandwich ELISA Format 1
  1. Mix sample, provided biotinylated-detection antibody and provided streptavidin-HRP.
  2. Apply sample and antibody-HRP complex to ELISA plate for 60min at 37oC.  Wash 5 times.
  3. Apply chromogens, incubate, then stop reaction.



    Steps of Sandwich ELISA Format 2
1.  Equilibrate plate to ambient temperature
2.  Add sample, incubate 30 min - 1hr, wash 
3.  Add HRP-Antibody, incubate 30 min - 1 hr, wash
4.  Add the color reagent, incubate 15 min
5.  Add the stop solution
