at 4-6 weeks intervals.
* The long-term local and systemic effect of Ranibizumab is
unknown because of its long half-life and its suppression
of VEGF (vascular endothelium growth factor). Therefore
the need for a sensitive and accurate assay is imperative to
understand and prevent potential damaging side effects.
3 Principle
The Ranibizumab (Lucentis) Assay is a solid-based enzyme
immunoassay with a sequential addition and incubation
steps in its protocol. The test is a colorimetric microtiter
plate enzyme immunoassay for the direct determination
of Ranibizumab in serum or plasma. The assay protocol
includes:
1. Incubation/shaking of the sample with the microtiter well
coated plate
2. Discarding contents of the wells, followed with addition
of enzyme conjugate, shaken and followed by a wash
sequence
3. Formation of blue color with TMB substrate
4. Addition of 3N HCl to stop the enzyme/substrate reaction
giving a yellow color. The color intensity is measured as
optical density (absorbance) on a microtiter plate reader at
450nm.
* The absorbance value is directly proportional to the
concentration of Ranibizumab in the sample.

2 Introduction
* Ranibizumab (trade name Lucentis, Genentech/Roche) is
an angiogenesis inhibitor, a drug that slows the growth of
new blood vessels. It is used for the treatment of diseases
of the eye in macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy
and retinopathy of prematurity.
* The intraocular dose is 1.25 mg to 2.5 mg in 100 ul (0.1ml)
injections. The lower dose is usually preferred in premature
newborns to prevent retinal blindness.
Lucentis microwell strips and enzyme
conjugate are provided as matched set. Do
not interchange components of kits with
different lot numbers.
* The higher dose(s) is for adults with macular degeneration

Preparation of Assay Components
* The Rinse Solution Concentrate must be diluted before
use; pour the vial contents into a large squirt bottle and
add 450 ml of di-water to make the rinse solution.
* The other Lucentis Assay reagents are provided ready
to use.
* Calibrator Dilution: 100ng/ml 50/ml, 25ng/ml, 12.5ng/
ml, 6.25ng/ml, and 3.125ng/ml
Storage of Assay Components
* Store the reagents refrigerated at 2-8º C (36-46º F) Close
the reagents vials when not in use.
* After dilution, store the rinse solution at room
temperature.
* Store the microtiter strips/wells at room temperature or
refrigerated in the airtight bag with provided desiccant.
* Do not freeze the reagents or the microwell strips. Avoid
prolonged exposure to temperatures above 32º C.
* When stored as directed, the reagents and microwell
strips are stable until the expiration date on the kit.
Improper storage of reagents and microwell strips can
affect assay performance.
