Summary

The 25-OH Vitamin D ELISA is designed for the serological determination of the Vitamin D concentration in the human organism. Types of Vitamin D that are differentiated are Vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol) that is contained in plant food (mushrooms, avocado) and Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) that is produced from 7-dehydrocholesterol in the skin under ultra-violet irradiation or found in animal food or products (sea fish, egg yolk, butter) [1, 2, 3, 4]. These two forms of Vitamin D, which are not yet biologically active, are bound by a protein called VDBP (Vitamin D binding protein) in the bloodstream, then metabolised in the liver and converted into 25-OH Vitamin D3 (calcidiol) and subsequently to the biological active form 1,25(OH)2 Vitamin D3 (calcitriol) in the kidney [1]. In contrast to other commercially available tests, the ELISA uses a newly designed monoclonal antibody which is equally specific for both forms of the vitamin. This is necessary because sometimes Vitamin D2 instead of D3 is used in therapy [5, 6, 7]. The new ELISA test kit is designed for the in vitro determination of 25-OH Vitamin D in human serum or plasma samples. In the first analysis step, the calibrators and samples are diluted with biotin-labelled 25-OH Vitamin D and added to microplate wells coated with monoclonal anti-25-OH Vitamin D antibodies. During the incubation an unknown amount of 25-OH Vitamin D in the sample and a known amount of biotin-labelled 25-OH Vitamin D compete for the antibody binding sites in the microplate wells plate. Unbound 25-OH Vitamin D is removed by washing. For the detection of bound biotin-labelled 25-OH Vitamin D, a second incubation is performed using peroxidase-labelled streptavidin. In a third incubation using the peroxidase substrate tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) the bound peroxidase promotes a colour reaction. The colour intensity is inversely proportional to the 25-OH Vitamin D concentration.
