For the Human S100A8/S100A9 Heterodimer DuoSet ELISA, Catalog # DY8226-05, can Tween 20 be substituted for Brij® 35 in the Reagent Diluent?

Name: Human S100A8/S100A9 Heterodimer DuoSet ELISA
Brand: R&D Systems
SKU: DY8226-05
Rating: 5 (4 reviews)

The 50 mM Tris, 10 mM CaCl2, 0.15 M NaCl, 0.05% Brij® 35, pH 7.45-7.5 that we recommend as a reagent diluent for this kit is unique, which means that our lab would have found that more traditional reagent diluents do not perform optimally. It is certainly possible that you could potentially substitute a different detergent (such as Tween) with viable results, but the performance of this different formulation of the reagent diluent would need to be empirically determined on your end.

Background: S100A8/S100A9 Heterodimer

S100A8 (also MRP8 and calgranulin A) is a 10 kDa member of the S100 family, EF-hand superfamily of Ca-binding proteins. It is produced by neutrophils and monocytes, and forms Ca²⁺-dependent heterodimer/heterotetramer complexes (termed calprotectin) with S100A9. It functions both intracellularly and extracellularly, where it binds to RAGE and CD36. Human S100A8 is 93 amino acids (aa) in length. It contains two EF-hand motifs (aa 12 - 47 and 46 - 81) and one high-affinity Ca²⁺-binding site (aa 59 - 70). There may be one splice form that shows a 15 aa substitution for the C-terminal 14 amino acids. Although mouse S100A8 is cleaved by MMP-2 after Asn21, it is unclear if human S100A8 is susceptible. Full-length human S100A8 is 57% and 74% aa identical to mouse and canine S100A8, respectively.
