Background of FCN3
Ficolin-3, also known as HAKA1, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the FCN3 gene. It is mapped to 1p36.11. The protein can activate the complement pathway in association with MASPs and sMAP, thereby aiding in host defense through the activation of the lectin pathway. Ficolin-3 is expressed as a 35-kD protein that reacts with systemic lupus erythematosus sera. Ficolin-3 does not bind fibronectin (FN1), elastin (ELN), or zymosan, and the lectin activity of the Ficolin-3 is calcium independent. Homozygosity for the variant in the FCN3 gene results in a recessive complement deficiency syndrome.

Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2020-09-07
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: if the enzyme conjugated FCN3 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 FCN3 antigen?
Y. Lewis
Verified customer
Asked: 2020-02-22
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: can you recommend the dilution ratio of serum samples for detection of FCN3 in Human serum? I am trying to measure a multiple analytes and it requires 100ul of diluted samples for each well. We have low serum quantitys so we like to dilute as much as possible.
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2018-11-18
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 FCN3 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: can I use citrate plasma as samples in Human FCN3 Picokine® ELISA Kit (Catalog # EK1259)?
V. Robinson
Verified customer
Asked: 2018-03-09
Answer
A: Chelating agents such as EDTA, Heparin and Citrate can attach metal ions from the functional domain of FCN3 causing disruption of its protein structure. FCN3 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 FCN3 ELISA, treating samples with a number of anticoagulants and decided that heparin can be used for treatment of blood/plasma samples. Do not use other anticoagulents when collecting samples.

Question
Q: can you tell me how to prepare cell lysates prepared for use in Picokine® ELISA kits?
R. Zhao
Verified customer
Asked: 2015-01-12
Answer
A: in those Picokine® ELISAs where cell or tissue lysate is a validated sample type, sample preparation instructions for lysate can be found in the product insert. Components in lysate and lysis buffer can change immunoreactivity, so if lysate is not a validated sample type, care must be taken in sample preparation and validation.
