GLP-1(7-36) amide is the principal active form of GLP-1, the other being GLP-1(7-37). GLP-1 is a peptide hormone of the glucagon family, produced by the L cells of the intestinal mucosa from the same prohormone as glucagon. The active forms are potent stimulators of glucose-dependent insulin secretion. The sequence of GLP-1 is fully conserved in all mammalian species examined so far.
Synthetic GLP-1(9-37) adsorbed onto aluminum hydroxide gel
ABS 046-03 binds GLP-1(1-37), GLP-1(7-37) and GLP-1(9-37).
Cross-reaction with C-terminally amidated GLP-1 is 0-16% in various circumstances.
C-terminus of GLP-1(1-37), GLP-1(7-37) and GLP-1(9-37)
ABS 046-03 binds free GLP-1(1-37), GLP-1(7-37) and GLP-1(9-37) in solution.
Two different ELISA sandwich setups can be made for measuring non-amidated GLP-1 forms: The first uses ABS 046-03 as a capture antibody with ABS 033-10B as a biotinylated detection antibody cross-reacting about 5% with C-terminally amidated GLP-1. The second combination uses ABS 046-03B as a biotinylated detection antibody and HYB 147-12 as a capture antibody cross- reacting about 16% with C-terminally amidated GLP-1. Results show detection limits of 44pmol/L which is 10-20 times higher than the basal concentration of GLP-1, so the assays have to be optimized.

The dilution guideline for ELISA is based on use as detection antibody for antigen coated at 0.1-1 µg/ml. Users should determine the optimal dilutions for their own purposes.
