Background of G-CSF
Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) is a member of the CSF family of hormone-like glycoprotein that regulates hematopoietic cell proliferation and differentiation, and it almost exclusively stimulates the colony formation of granulocytes from committed precursor cells in semi-solid agar culture. G-CSF is also termed colony stimulating factor-3, and a single gene of which codes for a 177 or 180 amino acid mature protein of molecular weight 19,600. Functionally, it specifically stimulates the proliferation and differentiation of the progenitor cells for granulocytes. The effect of G-CSF on myeloid leukemias is unique among colony stimulating factors in driving the leukemic cells from a self-renewing malignant state to a mature differentiated phenotype with the concomitant loss of tumorigenicity. Besides, it also prevents cardiac remodeling after myocardial infarction by activating the Jak-Stat pathway in cardiomyocytes. The recombinant form of hG-CSF is capable of supporting neutrophil proliferation in a CFU-GM assay as well as early erythroid colonies and mixed colony formation. Human gene coding for G-CSF is assigned to the q21-q22 region of chromosome 17. The standard product used in this kit is recombinant human G-CSF, consisting of 175 amino acids with the molecular mass of 18.8KDa.

Intra Assay Consistency & Inter Assay Consistency
We measured random samples of Human G-CSF 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.

11 Customer Q&As for Human G-CSF ELISA Kit PicoKine®
Question
Q: Can G-CSF ELISA Kits be used with tissue homogenates (or other non-validated sample types)?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2020-09-17
Answer
A: Unfortunately, Boster Bio has not routinely validated tissue homogenates as a sample type for ELISA kits. This does not mean that ELISA kits are not suitable for other sample types than we have tested: it means further investigation is a must. One will need to perform a spike and recovery study to determine if an unvalidated sample type will work with a particular kit. To perform a spike and recovery experiment, one should divide a sample into two aliquots. In one of the aliquots, the user should spike in a known amount of the kit standard. a dilution series is performed comparing the spiked versus the unspiked sample. Generally, samples with expected recovery and linearity between 80-120% are considered acceptable. This method can be used to validate any sample type that has not been assessd by Boster Bio. for a more detailed spike and recovery protocol, please contact technical support.
Note: acceptable ranges should be determined individually by each laboratory. Additionally, technical support can help determine if a buffer component is not compatible with a given ELISA kit. please see the Citations tab on the product webpage for peer-reviewed papers utilizing a wide range of sample types. We also have an innovator's reward program where if the user validates our ELISA kits in applications or samples previously not validated by Boster Bio or other users, and share such information with us by submit a review, we will reward the user's efforts with a free antibody or ELISA kit from our catalog. Biocompare.com will also give $20 Amazon giftcard as an additional reward, if the review is submitted there as well.

Question
Q: Are Boster Bio recombinant proteins and antibodies sterile?
T. Smith
Verified customer
Asked: 2020-07-21
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 G-CSF 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 G-CSF antigen?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2020-05-18
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: which procedure should I follow in order to thaw whole blood sample for G-CSF ELISA after freezing?
Z. Wang
Verified customer
Asked: 2019-03-12
Answer
A: do not freeze 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 G-CSF for a later time, you should let the blood clot in glass tubes and collect the serum to freeze for later use.

Question
Q: for how much duration can samples (cell cultures, serum, and plasma) be stored and still be stable for measurement G-CSF using the EK0360 Human G-CSF Picokine® ELISA Kit?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2019-02-13
Answer
A: Boster Bio does not evaluate sample stability. Variations in sample collection, processing, and storage may affect the stabilityof samples. It is recommend to assay sample immediately after collection when possible, or aliquot into single use volumes and store samples frozen. limit repetitive freeze-thaw cycles with the stored samples to prevent protein degradation.

Question
Q: what is the protocol regarding preparation of cell lysates prepared for use in Picokine® ELISA kits?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2016-09-08
Answer
A: for those Picokine® ELISAs where cell or tissue lysate is a validated sample type, sample preparation instructions for lysate are included in the product insert. Components in lysate and lysis buffer can have an affect on immunoreactivity, so if lysate is not a validated sample type, care must be taken in sample preparation and validation.
