Aflibercept (Eylea®, Zaltrap®)

The drug Aflibercept (trade names Eylea®, Zaltrap®) is a recombinant fusion protein consisting of VEGF-binding portions from the extracellular domains of human VEGF receptors 1 and 2 fused to the Fc portion of human IgG1. Aflibercept has broad affinity for all ligands that bind to these receptors, including isoforms of VEGF-A, VEGF-B, and placental growth factors. Aflibercept demonstrated antitumour effects and antiangiogenic activity as a single agent and enhanced activity in combination with chemotherapy. Identification of biomarkers for (non-)response and risk factors for adverse drug reactions that might be related to serum concentrations and maintaining the effective concentration of Aflibercept in order to potentially avoid some side effects with a reliable method might be beneficial. Enzyme immunoassay (ELISA) for the determination of free Aflibercept in serum and plasma samples. For research use only, not for use in diagnostic procedures.

Intended use

This ELISA kit applies to the in vitro quantitative determination of Aflibercept (Eylea®, Zaltrap®) concentrations in serum, plasma and other biological fluids.

Test principle

This ELISA kit uses the Sandwich-ELISA principle. The micro ELISA plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with an antigen specific to Aflibercept (Eylea®, Zaltrap®). Standards or samples are added to the micro ELISA plate wells and combined with the specific antigen. Then a biotinylated detection antigen specific for Aflibercept (Eylea®, Zaltrap®) and Avidin-Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) conjugate are added successively to each micro plate well and incubated. Free components are washed away. The substrate solution is added to each well. Only those wells that contain Aflibercept (Eylea®, Zaltrap®), biotinylated detection antigen and Avidin-HRP conjugate will appear blue in color. The enzyme-substrate reaction is terminated by the addition of stop solution and the color turns yellow. The optical density (OD) is measured spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 450 nm ± 2 nm. The OD value is proportional to the concentration of Aflibercept (Eylea®, Zaltrap®). You can calculate the concentration of Aflibercept (Eylea®, Zaltrap®) in the samples by comparing the OD of the samples to the standard curve.

Typical data

As the OD values of the standard curve may vary according to the conditions of the actual assay performance (e.g. operator, pipetting technique, washing technique or temperature effects), the operator should establish a standard curve for each test. Typical standard curve and data is provided below for reference only.

Precision

Intra-assay Precision (Precision within an assay):
3 samples with low, middle,high concentration of Aflibercept (Eylea®, Zaltrap®). And the sample of Aflibercept (Eylea®, Zaltrap®) were tested 30 times on one plate, respectively.
Inter-assay Precision (Precision between assays):
3 samples with low, middle,high concentration of Aflibercept (Eylea®, Zaltrap®). And the sample of Aflibercept (Eylea®, Zaltrap®) were tested on 3 different plates, 30 replicates in each plate.

Recovery

Matrices listed below were spiked with certain level of Aflibercept (Eylea®, Zaltrap®) and the recovery rates were calculated by comparing the measured value to the expected amount of Aflibercept (Eylea®, Zaltrap®) in samples.

Matrix Recovery range (%) Average Recovery (%)
Serum (n=5) 87-102 95
EDTA plasma (n=5) 88-104 95
heparin plasma (n=5) 85-99 94

Linearity

The linearity of the kit was assayed by testing samples spiked with appropriate concentration of Aflibercept (Eylea®, Zaltrap®) and their serial dilutions. The results were demonstrated by the percentage of calculated concentration to the expected.

    Serum (n=5) EDTA plasma (n=5) heparin plasma (n=5)
1:2 Range (%) 93-107 89-102 92-104
Average (%) 93 93 94
1:4 Range (%) 89-102 87-107 91-103
Average (%) 94 93 95
1:8 Range (%) 91-100 87-106 89-102
Average (%) 95 94 94
1:16 Range (%) 91-99 94-99 93-106
Average (%) 93 93 94

Stability

The stability of Aflibercept (Eylea®, Zaltrap®) is determined by the loss rate of activity. The loss rate of Aflibercept (Eylea®, Zaltrap®) is less than 5% within the expiration date under appropriate storage condition. To minimize extra influence on the performance, operation procedures and lab conditions, especially room temperature, air humidity, incubator temperature should be strictly controlled. It is also strongly suggested that the whole assay is performed by the same operator from the beginning to the end.
