When evaluating the expression of superoxide dismutase, catalase and glutathione peroxidase enzymes by ELISA in cell culture studies, should I use the supernatant or lysate part of the cell?
Homogenization is a conventional technique. With ELISA kit there is lysis buffer already provided. So both are equally good. But it is recommended to remove cell debris and nuclei as no SOD, GSH are supposed to be present there. As you are targeting proteins so SDS should not be there is homogenizing buffer or lysis buffer. Regards.
