Background of ICAM-2/CD102
Intercellular adhesion molecule 2 (ICAM2), also known as CD102 (Cluster of Differentiation 102) is an integral membrane protein that has 2 immunoglobulin-like domains. This gene is mapped to 17q23.3. The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM) family. All ICAM proteins are type I transmembrane glycoproteins, contain 2-9 immunoglobulin-like C2-type domains, and bind to the leukocyte adhesion LFA-1 protein. This protein may play a role in lymphocyte recirculation by blocking LFA-1-dependent cell adhesion. It mediates adhesive interactions important for antigen-specific immune response, NK-cell mediated clearance, lymphocyte recirculation, and other cellular interactions important for immune response and surveillance.

Question
Q: is it okay to use citrate plasma as samples in Human CD102 Picokine® ELISA Kit (Catalog # EK0999)?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2019-08-25
Answer
A: Chelating agents such as EDTA, Heparin and Citrate can sequester metal ions from the functional domain of CD102 causing disruption of its protein structure. CD102 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 CD102 ELISA, treating samples with various 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 CD102 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 CD102 antigen?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2019-05-16
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 long can samples (cell cultures, serum, and plasma) be stored and still be stable for measurement CD102 using the EK0999 Human CD102 Picokine® ELISA Kit?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2018-09-04
Answer
A: Boster Bio does not assess sample stability. Variations in sample collection, processing, and storage may affect the stabilityof samples. It is recommend to assay sample on-stat collection when possible, or aliquot into single use volumes and store samples frozen. avoid repetitive freeze-thaw cycles with the stored samples in order to limit protein degradation.

Question
Q: which procedure should I follow in order to thaw whole blood sample for CD102 ELISA after freezing?
T. Zhou
Verified customer
Asked: 2018-05-06
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 CD102 for a later time, you should let the blood clot in glass tubes and collect the serum to freeze for later use.

Question
Q: we need your recommendation regarding the dilution ratio of serum samples for detection of CD102 in Human plasma? I am trying to measure a few parameters and it requires 100ul of diluted samples for each well. We have limited sample quantitys so we like to dilute as much as possible.
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2017-05-29
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 CD102 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.
