OverviewpdfSDSpdfProtocol


Superoxide dismutases (SOD) are a class of enzymes that catalyze the dismutation of superoxide into oxygen and hydrogen peroxide. Superoxide is one of the main reactive oxygen species in cells. It is a substantial contributor of pathology associated with neurodegenerative diseases, ischemia reperfusion injury, atherosclerosis and aging. SODs are an important antioxidant defense in nearly all cells exposed to superoxide radicals. In fact, mice lacking SOD1 develop a wide range of pathologies, including hepatocellular carcinoma, an acceleration of age-related muscle mass loss, an earlier incidence of cataracts and a reduced lifespan. Overexpression of SOD protects murine fibrosarcoma cells from apoptosis and promotes cell differentiation. The Amplite® Colorimetric Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) Assay Kit provides a quick and sensitive method for the measurement of SOD activity in solutions. In the assay, xanthine is converted to superoxide radical ions, uric acid and hydrogen peroxide by xanthine oxidase (XO). Superoxide reacts with ReadiView™ SOD560 to generate a product that absorbs around 560 nm. SOD inhibits the reaction of ReadiView™ SOD560 with superoxide, thus reduces the absorption at 560 nm. The reduction in the absorption of ReadiView™ SOD560 at 560 nm is proportional to SOD activity. The kit can be performed in a convenient 96-well or 384-well microtiter-plate format.

Protocol Summary
  1. Prepare SOD standards or test samples (50 µL)
  2. Add SOD working solution 1 (25 µL)
  3. Add SOD working solution 2 (25 µL)
  4. Incubate at room temperature for 30 - 60 minutes
  5. Monitor absorbance at 560 nm 
Important       Thaw all the kit components at room temperature before starting the experiment.

PREPARATION OF STOCK SOLUTIONS

Unless otherwise noted, all unused stock solutions should be divided into single-use aliquots and stored at -20 °C after preparation. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

SOD standard solution (10 kU/mL)
Add 50 µL of Assay Buffer (Component E) into the vial of SOD Standard (Component D) to make 10 kU/mL standard solution.

PREPARATION OF STANDARD SOLUTION

For convenience, use the Serial Dilution Planner:
https://www.aatbio.com/tools/serial-dilution/11305


SOD standard
Add 10 µL of 10 kU/mL SOD standard solution into 990 µL of Assay Buffer (Component E) to get 100 U/mL SOD standard solution (SD7). Take 100 U/mL SOD standard solution (SD7) and perform 1:10 in Assay Buffer (Component E) to get 10 U/mL SOD standard solution (SD6). Take 10 U/mL standard solution (SD6) and perform 1:3 serial dilutions to get serially diluted SOD standards (SD5 - SD1) with Assay Buffer (Component E).

PREPARATION OF WORKING SOLUTION

1. SOD working solution 1
Add 2.5 mL of Assay Buffer (Component E) into the bottle of ReadiViewTM SOD560 (Component A) and mix well. Then add 50 μL of 50X Xanthine (Component B) into this bottle to make SOD working solution 1.
Note     This SOD working solution 1 should be prepared before the experiment, and kept from light. SOD working solution 1 is not stable and the unused portion should be discarded.


2. SOD working solution 2
Add 50 μL Assay Buffer (Component E) into the vial of Xanthine Oxidase (Component C) and mix well. Then, transfer 50 μL of Xanthine Oxidase stock solution into 2.5 mL Assay Buffer (Component E) to make SOD working solution 2.

  1. Prepare SOD standards (SD), blank controls (BL), and test samples (TS) according to the layout provided in Tables 1 and 2. For a 384-well plate, use 25 µL of reagent per well instead of 50 µL.
  2. Add 25 µL of SOD working solution 1 to each well of SOD standard, blank control, and test samples to make the total assay volume of 75 µL/well. For a 384-well plate, add 12.5 µL of SOD working solution 1 into each well instead, for a total volume of 37.5 µL/well.
  3. Add 25 µL of SOD working solution 2 to each well of SOD standard, blank control, and test samples to make the total assay volume of 100 µL/well. For a 384-well plate, add 12.5 µL of SOD working solution 2 into each well instead, for a total volume of 50 µL/well.
  4. Incubate the reaction at room temperature for 30 to 60 minutes, protected from light.
  5. Monitor the absorbance with an absorbance plate reader at 550 to 560 nm.
