Background of IGF-I/IGF-1
Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) that was once called somatomedin C, is a polypeptide protein hormone similar in molecular structure to insulin. It plays an important role in childhood growth and continues to have anabolic effects in adults. Chinese hamster IGF1 is a single chain 70-amino acid polypeptide cross-linked by 3 disulfide bridges, with a calculated molecular mass of 7.6 kD. The IGF1 gene, mapped on 12q22-q24.1, contains 5 exons. Exons 1-4 encode the 195-amino acid precursor (IGF1B), and exons 1, 2, 3, and 5 encode the 153-residue peptide (IGF1A). The structure of IGF1 resembles that of IGF2. And the IGF1 and IGF2 genes have complex structures with multiple promoters. The expression of both genes is regulated at the levels of transcription, RNA processing, and translation. IGF-1 is produced primarily by the liver as an endocrine hormone as well as in target tissues in a paracrine/autocrine fashion. Moreover, approximately 98% of IGF-1 is always bound to one of 6 binding proteins (IGF-BP). Furthermore, IGF-1 is one of the most potent natural activators of the AKT signaling pathway, a stimulator of cell growth and multiplication and a potent inhibitor of programmed cell death.

Intra Assay Consistency & Inter Assay Consistency
We measured random samples of Chinese Hamster IGF-1 ELISA Kit PicoKine® within the same batch/lot to ensure the consistency of the kits' performances. ELISA intra assay consistency is measured using wells from the same plate/assay kit. ELISA inter assay consistency is measured using wells from different plates from the same batch production/lot.

6 Customer Q&As for Chinese Hamster IGF-1 ELISA Kit PicoKine®
Question
Q: Are Boster Bio recombinant proteins and antibodies sterile?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2020-10-12
Answer
A: although the vials are bottled using aseptic techniques, heat-treated vials, and sterile stock solutions, they are not considered or guaranteed to be sterile. If sterile material is required for an experiment, the material can be filtered through a 0.2 micron filter designed for use with biological fluids.

Question
Q: can I use citrate plasma as samples in Chinese IGF-I Picokine® ELISA Kit (Catalog # EK0377-HA)?
P. Yang
Verified customer
Asked: 2019-12-27
Answer
A: Chelating agents such as EDTA, Heparin and Citrate can bind metal ions from the functional domain of IGF-I causing disruption of its protein structure. IGF-I may be denatured as a result and may compromise the assay's measurements. The chilating sites could also be too close to the epitopes required for detection and block the antigen antibody reaction. We have tested the IGF-I ELISA, treating samples with a number of anticoagulants and decided that heparin or EDTA can be used for treatment of blood/plasma samples. Do not use other anticoagulents when collecting samples.

Question
Q: which procedure should I follow in order to thaw whole blood sample for IGF-I ELISA after freezing?
B. Dhawan
Verified customer
Asked: 2019-11-28
Answer
A: we do not recommend freezing and thaw whole blood. erythrocytes are fragile and, if frozen and thawed, will undergo hemolysis rendering the samples useless. To keep your blood samples to test IGF-I for a later time, you should let the blood clot in glass tubes and separate the serum to freeze for later analysis.

Question
Q: if the enzyme conjugated IGF-I antibodies are mixed with the substrate, will that convert the substrate into the enzymatic reaction product? Or the enzyme function is only activated when the antibody is attached with the IGF-I antigen?
Z. Patel
Verified customer
Asked: 2019-09-25
Answer
A: The enzyme is always active. Avoid contaminating the substrate with enzyme prior to the incubation otherwise it compromises the assay with false positive signal.

Question
Q: how much samples can be assayed in a Picokine® ELISA Kit?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2018-10-12
Answer
A: The Picokine® ELISA Kits will generally run a 7-point standard curve, non-specific binding wells, and 39 samples in duplicate. this may might differ by kit so please refer to each datasheet for details.
