Background of Fibulin-3/EFEMP1

EGF-containing fibulin-like extracellular matrix protein 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the EFEMP1 gene. This gene encodes a member of the fibulin family of extracellular matrix glycoproteins. Like all members of this family, the encoded protein contains tandemly repeated epidermal growth factor-like repeats followed by a C-terminus fibulin-type domain. This gene is upregulated in malignant gliomas and may play a role in the aggressive nature of these tumors. Mutations in this gene are associated with Doyne honeycomb retinal dystrophy. Alternatively spliced transcript variants that encode the same protein have been described.

10 Customer Q&As for Human Fibulin-3/EFEMP1 ELISA Kit PicoKine®

Question

Q: can I use citrate plasma as samples in Human Fibulin-3 Picokine® ELISA Kit (Catalog # EK1468)?

Verified Customer

Verified customer

Asked: 2020-03-08

Answer

A: Chelating agents such as EDTA, Heparin and Citrate can attach metal ions from the functional domain of Fibulin-3 causing degradation of its protein structure. Fibulin-3 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 Fibulin-3 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: if the enzyme conjugated Fibulin-3 antibodies are mixed with the substrate, will that change the substrate into the enzymatic reaction product? Or the enzyme function is only activated when the antibody is attached with the Fibulin-3 antigen?

K. Roberts

Verified customer

Asked: 2019-08-02

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: we need your recommendation regarding the dilution ratio of serum samples for detection of Fibulin-3 in Human plasma? I am trying to measure a a number of analytes and it requires 100ul of diluted samples for each well. We have low serum volumes so we like to dilute as much as possible.

W. Phillips

Verified customer

Asked: 2019-07-11

Answer

A: unable to know the physiological or pathological context of your samples we cannot recommend a dilution ratio without performing a pilot test with your samples. Here is how you can perform a pilot study on your own: perform a serial dilution of your samples on the Fibulin-3 ELISA kit to make sure you have a linear ascending curve followed by a plateau, which signifies the samples saturating the detection limit of the kit. Then you can pick the dilution ratios from samples in the linear part of the curve as your experimental dilution ratio.
If you are interested in using our ELISA service, you can also send us your sample and we will take care of everything for you. You can check our service details here: bosterbio.com/services/assay-services/ELISA-testing-service
Since you mentioned you have limited samples, our cost effective multiplex ELISA service would fit perfectly for your needs, where we can generate dozens of data points using as little as 25ul sample volume. Information on this service is also in the above link.

Question

Q: What is the optimal O.D. value for Fibulin-3 ELISA kit? I performed your Fibulin-3 ELISA on serum samples. For my positive control, I received an O.D. value of 0.826, while my negative control received a value of 0.136. I obtained both of these controls from the ELISA kit, where your kit's typical data shows O.D. values much higher than my positive control and your background is lower. My samples O.D. values are around 0.225 and the highest is only 0.357. can I consider these samples contain Fibulin-3 even though the O.D. values are not very high?

Verified Customer

Verified customer

Asked: 2015-10-02

Answer

A: The absolute O.D. values may change according to incubation time. The more you incubate the higher the O.D. values are going to be. what you should focus on is whether your sample O.D. values are statistically significantly higher than your blank values. considering your assay, you could extend your development time in the substrate incubation step to obtain higher O.D. values, as long as your negative controls' O.D. values are not increasing faster in proportion to your positive controls. typically, a sample with O.D. value 2 standard deviations higher than your negative controls can be considered positive. We calculate the sensitivity of this ELISA kit by converting cutoff O.D. value, calculated as the average of 20 negative controls plus 2 standard deviations of the 20 negative controls, into a concentration. in other words, when we claim this Fibulin-3 ELISA kit to have sensitivity of 10pg/ml, that means the minimum amount of Fibulin-3 that can be declared/interpreted as positive by the above standard is 10pg/ml.
