The MAT is developed based on the in vitro activation of human monocytoid cells by pyrogens. The proinflammatory cytokines, for example tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNFα), interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) and interleukin-6 (IL-6), that released from the activation are determined by ELISA.[1]
The mechanism of MAT is as follows:
A. Human whole blood incubation
The sample was mixed with fresh human blood at a certain ratio of volume. The reaction tubes were shaken gently and incubated 16-24 hr at 37℃. After that the tubes were shaken again, centrifuged and stored supernatants containing cytokine at -80℃.[2]
B. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)
Cytokine measurements were carried out with an in-house sandwich ELISA. According to the plot of endotoxin standard concentration (from 0.03125 to 2 EU/ml) vs. absorbance, the MAT response to endotoxin in samples.
