INTRODUCTION
In biochemistry, cholinesterase is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine into choline A-N-D acetic acid, a reaction necessary to allow a cholinergic neuron to return to its resting state after activation. Acetylcholinesterase(AChE), also known as RBC cholinesterase, erythrocyte cholinesterase, or (most formally) acetylcholine acetylhydrolase, found primarily in the blood A-N-D neural synapses. Acetylcholinesterase hydrolyzes the neurotransmitter acetylcholine at neuromuscular junctions A-N-D brain cholinergic synapses, A-N-D thus terminates signal transmission. It is also found on the red blood cell membranes, where it constitutes the Yt blood group antigen. Acetylcholinesterase exists in multiple molecular forms, which possess similar catalytic properties, but differ in their oligomeric assembly A-N-D mode of cell attachment to the cell surface. It is encoded by the single AChE gene; A-N-D the structural diversity in the gene products arises from alternative mRNA splicing A-N-D post-translational associations of catalytic A-N-D structural subunits. The major form of acetylcholinesterase found in brain, muscle, A-N-D other tissues is the hydrophilic species, which forms disulfide-linked oligomers with collagenous, or lipid-containing structural subunits. The other, alternatively-spliced form, expressed primarily in the erythroid tissues, differs at the C-terminal end, A-N-D contains a cleavable hydrophobic peptide with a GPI-anchor site. It associates with the membranes through the phosphoinositide (PI) moieties added post-translationally. Acetylcholinesterase is the target of nerve gases. The agents blocks the function of acetylcholinesterase A-N-D thus causes interminable muscle contraction throughout the body.
PRINCIPLE OF THE ASSAY
The microtiter plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with an antibody specific to AChE. StA-N-Dards or samples are then added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells with a biotin-conjugated antibody preparation specific for AChE A-N-D Avidin conjugated to Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to each microplate well A-N-D incubated. Then a TMB (3,3',5,5' tetramethyl-benzidine) substrate solution is added to each well. Only those wells that contain AChE, biotin-conjugated antibody A-N-D enzyme-conjugated Avidin will exhibit a change in color. The enzyme-substrate reaction is terminated by the addition of a sulphuric acid solution A-N-D the color change is measured spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 450 nm ± 2 nm. The concentration of AChE in the samples is then determined by comparing the O.D. of the samples to the stA-N-Dard curve.

REAGENT PREPARATION
Bring all reagents to room temperature before use.
1 Wash Buffer If crystals have formed in the concentrate, warm up to room temperature A-N-D mix gently until the crystals have compley dissolved. Dilute 20 ml of Wash Buffer Concentrate into deionized or distilled water to prepare 500 ml of Wash Buffer.
2 StA-N-Dard Centrifuge the stA-N-Dard vial at 6000-10000rpm for 30s. Reconstitute the StA-N-Dard with 1.0 ml of Sample Diluent. This reconstitution produces a stock solution of 500 pg/ml. Allow the stA-N-Dard to sit for a minimum of 15 minutes with gentle agitation prior to making serial dilutions. The undiluted stA-N-Dard serves as the high stA-N-Dard (500 pg/ml). The Sample Diluent serves as the zero stA-N-Dard (0 pg/ml). Prepare fresh for each assay. Use within 4 hours A-N-D discard after use.
3 Biotin-antibody Centrifuge the vial before opening. Dilute to the working concentration using Biotin-antibody Diluent(1:100), respectively.
4 HRP-avidin Centrifuge the vial before opening. Dilute to the working concentration using HRP-avidin Diluent(1:100), respectively.
Precaution: The Stop Solution provided with this kit is an acid solution. Wear eye, hA-N-D, face, A-N-D clothing protection when using this material.
OTHER SUPPLIES REQUIRED

SAMPLE COLLECTION A-N-D STORAGE
Serum Use a serum separator tube (SST) A-N-D allow samples to clot for 30 minutes before centrifugation for 15 minutes at 1000 g. Remove serum A-N-D assay immediay or aliquot A-N-D store samples at -20°C. Centrifuge the sample again after thawing before the assay. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Plasma Collect plasma using citrate, EDTA, or heparin as an anticoagulant. Centrifuge for 15 minutes at 1000 g within 30 minutes of collection. Assay immediay or aliquot A-N-D store samples at -20°C. Centrifuge the sample again after thawing before the assay. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Note: Grossly hemolyzed samples are not suitable for use in this assay.
ASSAY PROCEDURE
Bring all reagents A-N-D samples to room temperature before use. It is recommended that all samples, stA-N-Dards, A-N-D controls be assayed in duplicate. All the reagents should be added directly to the liquid level in the well. The pipette should avoid contacting the inner wall of the well.
1. Serum A-N-D plasma samples require a 200-fold dilution into Sample Diluent. The suggested 200-fold dilution can be
achieved by adding 10μl sample to 190μl of Sample Diluent. Complete the 200-fold dilution by adding 25μl of this solution to 225μl of Sample Diluent.The recommended dilution factor is for reference only. The optimal dilution factor should be determined by users according to their particular experiments.
1 Add 100μl of StA-N-Dard, Blank, or Sample per well. Cover with the adhesive strip. Incubate for 2 hours at 37°C.
2 Remove the liquid of each well, don’t wash.
3 Add 100μl of Biotin-antibody working solution to each well. Incubate for 1 hour at 37°C. Biotin-antibody working solution may appear cloudy. Warm up to room temperature A-N-D mix gently until solution appears uniform.
5. Aspirate each well A-N-D wash, repeating the process three times for a total of three washes. Wash: Fill each well with Wash Buffer (200μl) A-N-D let it stA-N-D for 2 minutes, then remove the liquid by flicking the plate over a sink. The remaining drops are removed by patting the plate on a paper towel. Complete removal of liquid at each step is essential to good performance.
1 Add 100μl of HRP-avidin working solution to each well. Cover the microtiter plate with a new adhesive strip. Incubate for 1 hour at 37°C.
2 Repeat the aspiration A-N-D wash five times as step 4.
3 Add 90μl of TMB Substrate to each well. Incubate for 10-30 minutes at 37°C. Keeping the plate away from drafts A-N-D other temperature fluctuations in the dark.
4 Add 50μl of Stop Solution to each well when the first four wells containing the highest concentration of stA-N-Dards develop obvious blue color. If color change does not appear uniform, gently tap the plate to ensure thorough mixing.
10.Determine the optical density of each well within 30 minutes, using a microplate reader set to 450 nm.
CALCULATION OF RESULTS
Using the professional soft "Curve Exert 1.3" to make a stA-N-Dard curve is recommended, which can be downloaded from our web.
Average the duplicate readings for each stA-N-Dard, control, A-N-D sample A-N-D subtract the average zero stA-N-Dard optical density. Create a stA-N-Dard curve by reducing the data using computer software capable of generating a four parameter logistic (4-PL) curve-fit. As an alternative, construct a stA-N-Dard curve by plotting the mean absorbance for each stA-N-Dard on the x-axis against the concentration on the y-axis A-N-D draw a best fit curve through the points on the graph. The data may be linearized by plotting the log of the AChE concentrations versus the log of the O.D. A-N-D the best fit line can be determined by regression analysis. This procedure will produce an adequate but less precise fit of the data. If samples have been diluted, the concentration read from the stA-N-Dard curve must be multiplied by the dilution factor.
LIMITATIONS OF THE PROCEDURE
1 The kit should not be used beyond the expiration date on the kit label.
2 Do not mix or substitute reagents with those from other lots or sources.
3 It is important that the StA-N-Dard Diluent selected for the stA-N-Dard curve be consistent with the samples being assayed.
4 If samples generate values higher than the highest stA-N-Dard, dilute the samples with the appropriate StA-N-Dard Diluent A-N-D repeat the assay.
5 Any variation in StA-N-Dard Diluent, operator, pipetting technique, washing technique, incubation time or temperature, A-N-D kit age can cause variation in binding.
6 This assay is designed to eliminate interference by soluble receptors, binding proteins, A-N-D other factors present in biological samples. Until all factors have been tested in the Immunoassay, the possibility of interference cannot be excluded.
TECHNICAL HINTS
1 Centrifuge vials before opening to collect contents.
2 When mixing or reconstituting protein solutions, always avoid foaming.
3 To avoid cross-contamination, change pipette tips between additions of each stA-N-Dard level, between sample additions, A-N-D between reagent additions. Also, use separate reservoirs for each reagent.
4 When using an automated plate washer, adding a 30 second soak period following the addition of wash buffer, A-N-D/or rotating the plate 180 degrees between wash steps may improve assay precision.
5 To ensure accurate results, proper adhesion of plate sealers during incubation steps is necessary.
6 Substrate Solution should remain colorless or light blue until added to the plate. Keep Substrate Solution protected from light. Substrate Solution should change from colorless or light blue to gradations of blue.
7 Stop Solution should be added to the plate in the same order as the Substrate Solution. The color developed in the wells will turn from blue to yellow upon addition of the Stop Solution. Wells that are green in color indicate that the Stop Solution has not mixed thoroughly with the Substrate Solution.
