Two-Color Labeling &<br />

Detection Kit<br />

The Two-Color Labeling and Fluorescent<br />

Detection Kit is designed to label two protein<br />

samples. The labeled proteins are<br />

pooled and probed against arrayed antibodies<br />

in a competitive binding assay, and<br />

detected using indirect fluorescence.<br />

• Highly efficient and uniform labeling<br />

of complex serum samples<br />

• Reproducible labeling and signal detection<br />

• Stable, robust and fast non-enzymatic<br />

procedure<br />

• Reduces pH dependency of labeling<br />

efficiency<br />

• System solution includes labeling<br />

reagents, fluorescent conjugate and<br />

bench-friendly protocol<br />

The kit is intended for use with two-pad<br />

FAST Slides, including the <strong>Serum</strong><br />

<strong>Biomarker</strong> <strong>Chip</strong>. The kit contains the<br />

Labeling and Detection Procedure Overview<br />

chemistry to label samples containing<br />

approximately 250 µg of protein in serum,<br />

plasma, or a whole cell lysate. The kit is<br />

designed to label two different protein<br />

samples, each with a different hapten.<br />

Sufficient labeling reagent is provided to<br />

perform a hapten swapping experiment.<br />

Benefits of the two-color<br />

dye-swap assay<br />

• Accounts for hapten-specific differences<br />

in either Biotin-ULS or Fluorescein-<br />

ULS labeling efficiencies<br />

• Averages differences in antibodyantigen<br />

binding interactions caused<br />

by steric hindrance<br />

• Minimizes chip-to-chip variability – includes<br />

an internal control within the assay<br />

The first pad on the slide is probed with a<br />

mixture of two different protein samples,<br />

each labeled with a different hapten; the<br />

second pad is probed with the same two<br />

protein samples but with the haptens<br />

reversed. The normalized intensity for each<br />

element of each pad is calculated as the<br />

average of the biotin- and fluoresceinlabeled<br />

derived intensities from a two-pad<br />

experiment. The ratio between the signal<br />

intensity at each spot corresponds to the<br />

concentration ratio of the proteins found in<br />

the two samples. This method is attractive<br />

for antibody chips as it takes into account<br />

any hapten-specific differences in antigenantibody<br />

interactions.<br />

The use of the ULS labeling system minimizes<br />

background by using indirect fluorescence<br />

detection, labels multiple amino<br />

acids, and requires no additional materials<br />

or reagents.<br />
