Description: This assay employs the quantitative competitive enzyme immunoassay technique. Recombinant Human TNFa has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards or samples are premixed with biotin-labeled antibody and then pipetted into the wells. Golimumab in the sample competitively binds to the pre-coated protein with biotin-labeled Golimumab. After washing away any unbound substances, Streptavidin-HRP is added to the wells. Following a wash to remove any unbound enzyme reagent, a substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in inversely proportion to the amount of Golimumab bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured.
Stability and Storage: When the kit was stored at the recommended temperature for 6 months, the signal intensity decreased by less than 20%. For unopened kits, if you want to prolong the storage time, please store the Standard, Detection A, Detection B and Microplate at - 20℃, the rest reagents should be store at 4℃.

Background: Golimumab (Simponi®) is a human immunoglobulin G1? monoclonal antibody which is specific for pro-inflammatory cytokine, tumor necrosis factor-a (TNFa). In 2009, it was approved by FDA for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis in adult patients. Elevated levels of TNF are found in the synovial fluid of rheumatoid arthritis, including juvenile idiopathic arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis patients and play an important role in both the pathologic inflammation and the joint destruction that are hallmarks of these diseases. Increased levels of TNF are also found in psoriasis (Ps) plaques. Golimumab binds to both the soluble and transmembrane bioactive forms of human TNF and prevent TNF from binding to its receptors and finally inhibits biological activity of TNF.
