Images
Q Liu et al investigate the effect of calixarene-embedded nanoparticles in cancer therapy. Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) activity in mouse serum was determined using ALP activity assay kit (E-BC-K091-S).
No significant change can be observed among the three groups, the nanoparticle showed no hepatotoxicity.
Dilution of Sample
It is recommended to take 2~3 samples with expected large difference to do pre-experiment before formal experiment and dilute the sample according to the result of the pre-experiment and the detection range (0.2-55.6 King unit/100 mL).
The recommended dilution factor for different samples is as follows (for reference only):
| Sample type | Dilution factor |
| Human serum | 1 |
| Human urine | 1 |
| Rat serum | 1 |
| Cellular supernatant | 1 |
| 10% Mouse kidney tissue homogenization | 30-50 |
| 10% Mouse liver tissue homogenization | 1 |
| HePG2 cell | 1 |
| 10% Mouse brain tissue homogenization | 1 |
Note: The diluent is normal saline (0.9% NaCl) or PBS (0.01 M, pH 7.4).
Detection Principle
Alkaline phosphatase decompose benzene disodium phosphate to produce free phenol and phosphoric acid. Phenol react with 4-aminopyrline in alkaline solution and oxidizes with potassium ferricyanide to form red quinone derivative. The enzyme activity can be calculated indirectly by measuring the OD value.

Technical Data:
Parameter:
Intra-assay Precision
Three human serum samples were assayed in replicates of 20 to determine precision within an assay (CV = Coefficient of Variation).
| Parameters | Sample 1 | Sample 2 | Sample 3 |
| Mean (King unit/100 mL) | 2.60 | 28.40 | 42.50 |
| %CV | 2.5 | 2.1 | 1.7 |
Inter-assay Precision
Three human serum samples were assayed 20 times in duplicate by three operators to determine precision between assays
| Parameters | Sample 1 | Sample 2 | Sample 3 |
| Mean (King unit/100 mL) | 2.60 | 28.40 | 42.50 |
| %CV | 5.3 | 5.5 | 6.0 |
Recovery
Take three samples of high concentration, middle concentration and low concentration to test the samples of each concentration for 6 times parallelly to get the average recovery rate of 99%.
| Sample 1 | Sample 2 | Sample 3 | |
| Expected Conc. (King unit/100 mL) | 13.8 | 22.5 | 39.5 |
| Observed Conc. (King unit/100 mL) | 13.7 | 21.6 | 40.3 |
| Recovery rate (%) | 99 | 96 | 102 |
Sensitivity
The analytical sensitivity of the assay is 0.2 King unit/100 mL. This was determined by adding two standard deviations to the mean O.D. obtained when the zero standard was assayed 20 times, and calculating the corresponding concentration.
Standard Curve
As the OD value of the standard curve may vary according to the conditions of the actual assay performance (e.g. operator, pipetting technique or temperature effects), so the standard curve and data are provided as below for reference only:
| Concentration (mg/mL) | 0 | 0.05 | 0.1 | 0.2 | 0.3 | 0.4 | 0.56 |
| Average OD | 0.017 | 0.145 | 0.270 | 0.522 | 0.767 | 1.023 | 1.421 |
| Absoluted OD | 0 | 0.128 | 0.253 | 0.505 | 0.750 | 1.006 | 1.404 |
