The liver constitutively produces Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) Binding Protein (LBP), a type 1 acute phase protein that swiftly increases during acute phase responses. LBP assumes a pivotal role in responding to LPS by catalyzing LPS monomerization and facilitating its transfer to (s)CD14 and lipoproteins. This dual function positions LBP at the heart of LPS’s activation pathway—triggering monocyte activation and the subsequent release of inflammatory mediators—and its neutralization pathway—enabling the lipoprotein-mediated uptake and clearance of LPS. Researchers widely use assays to measure functional LBP levels in cell culture supernatants, plasma, and serum from various species, noting its presence escalates in the plasma of healthy individuals during acute phase responses. This highlights LBP’s significance in both activating immune responses to pathogens and mitigating their potentially harmful effects, underscoring its critical role in immunology research.

Application
The LBP ELISA kit for a wide variety of species is to be used for the in vitro quantitative determination of LBP in cell culture supernatants, plasma or serum.

Principle
The LBP ELISA is a ready-to-use solid-phase enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay based on the sandwich principle with a working time of 3½ hours. The efficient format of 1 plate with twelve disposable 8-well strips allows free choice of batch size for the assay. Samples and standards are incubated in microtiter wells coated with antibo­dies recognizing LBP. Biotinylated LPS will bind to captured LBP. Streptavidin-peroxidase conjugate will bind to the biotinylated LPS. Streptavidin-peroxidase conjugate will react with the substrate, tetramethylbenzidine (TMB). The enzyme reaction is stopped by the addition of citric acid. The absorbance at 450 nm is measured with a spectrophotometer. A standard curve is obtained by plotting the absorbance (linear) versus the corresponding concentrations of the LBP standards (log). The LBP concentration of samples, which are run concurrently with the human LBP standards, can be determined from the human LBP standard curve.
