Overview

CXCL12 (SDF-1) is a homeostatic chemokine constitutively expressed by bone marrow stromal cells, and is present in many other tissues (skin, thymus, lymph nodes, lung, liver). It plays an essential role in the homeostatic regulation of leukocyte traffic, hematopoiesis, organogenesis, cell differentiation, and tissue regeneration.

SDF-1 binds to and activates the CXCR4 receptor. CXCL12 and CXCR4 are overexpressed in various cancer types, and this aberrant expression strongly promotes proliferation, migration, and invasion through multiple signal pathways.

How it works

Principle of the HTRF CXCL12 assay

The human and mouse CXCL12 assay is based on a TR-FRET sandwich immunoassay involving two specific antibodies, one labelled with Eu3+ cryptate (donor) and the other with d2 (acceptor). Both antibodies bind to CXCL12, and the donor-acceptor proximity enables a fluorescent TR-FRET signal. The intensity of the signal is directly proportional to the concentration of CXCL12 present in the sample.

Protocol of the HTRF CXCL12 assay

Cell supernatant, sample, or standard is dispensed directly into the assay plate for the detection by HTRF™ reagents (384-well low-volume white plate or Revvity low-volume 96-well plate, in 20 µl). The antibodies labeled with the HTRF donor and acceptor are pre-mixed and added in a single dispensing step, to further streamline the assay procedure. The assay can be run in up to a 1536-well format by simply resizing each addition volume proportionally.

Analytical performance

Intra-assay precision table

Each of the 3 samples was measured 24 times, and the % CV was calculated for each sample.
Samples were mouse recombinant CXCL12.

2 514 4%
3 1983 5%
  Mean CV 4%
 
Inter-assay precision table

Each of the samples was measured in 3 independent experiments (3 days), and the % CV was calculated for each sample. Samples were mouse recombinant CXCL12.

Sample Mean [CXCL12] pg/mL CV
1 211 3%
2 641 3%
3 2132 3%
  Mean CV 3%
 
Dilution linearity

The excellent recovery percentages obtained from these experiments show the good dilution linearity of the assay. Samples were mouse recombinant CXCL12 serially diluted in diluent 5.

 Cross-reactivity

Cross reactivities were assessed using recombinant proteins and tested at 1000 pg/mL. Signals were interpolated on the assay standard curve to check concentrations. The assay is human CXCL12 isoform α specific, as isoforms b and γ were not detected. The assay is also compatible with mouse CXCL12.

Assay validation

Validation of HTRF CXCL12 detection on human cell supernatants

BJ human fibroblast cells were plated in a 96-well culture plate at 100k, 200k, and 4000k cells/well in MEM medium with 10% FBS for 24H at 37°C. Then, 16 µL of supernatants were transferred into a white detection plate (384 wells, low volume) and 4 µL of the HTRF CXCL12 detection reagents were added. The HTRF signal was recorded after 4h of incubation at room temperature.

The standard curve prepared in MEM medium + 10% FBS enabled the interpolation of the CXCL12 concentration in each sample.
