Background of IGFBP-rp1/IGFBP-7
Insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 7 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the IGFBP7 gene. The gene was mapped to chromosome 4q12. The major function of the protein is the regulation of availability of insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) in tissue as well as in modulating IGF binding to its receptors. IGFBP7 binds to IGF with high affinity. It also stimulates cell adhesion. The protein is implicated in some cancers.

16 Customer Q&As for Human IGFBP7/Igfbp Rp1 ELISA Kit PicoKine®
Question
Q: What is the optimal O.D. value for IGFBP-rp1 ELISA kit? I used your IGFBP-rp1 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. is it safe to say these samples contain IGFBP-rp1 even though the O.D. values are not very high?
Y. Turner
Verified customer
Asked: 2020-12-01
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. in the above example, 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 changeing 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 IGFBP-rp1 ELISA kit to have sensitivity of 20pg/ml, that means the minimum amount of IGFBP-rp1 that can be declared/interpreted as positive by the above standard is 20pg/ml.

Question
Q: we need your recommendation regarding the dilution ratio of serum samples for detection of IGFBP-rp1 in Human serum? I am trying to measure a few parameters and it requires 100ul of diluted samples for each well. We have limited sample volumes so we like to dilute as much as possible.
P. Moore
Verified customer
Asked: 2020-11-15
Answer
A: unable to understand 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 IGFBP-rp1 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.

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 needed for an experiment, the material can be filtered through a 0.2 micron filter designed for use with biological fluids.

Question
Q: is it okay to use citrate plasma as samples in Human IGFBP-rp1 Picokine® ELISA Kit (Catalog # EK0991)?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2019-08-22
Answer
A: Chelating agents such as EDTA, Heparin and Citrate can irreversibly bind metal ions from the functional domain of IGFBP-rp1 causing degradation of its protein structure. IGFBP-rp1 may be denatured as a result and may compromise the assay's measurements. The chilating sites could also be too close to the epitopes a must for detection and block the antigen antibody reaction. We have tested the IGFBP-rp1 ELISA, treating samples with different anticoagulants and decided that heparin or EDTA can be used for treatment of blood/plasma samples. Do not use other anticoagulents when collecting samples.

V. Lopez
Verified customer
Asked: 2016-06-29
Answer
A: Boster Bio does not assess sample stability. Variations in sample collection, processing, and storage may alter the stabilityof samples. It is recommend to assay sample right after collection when possible, or aliquot into single use volumes and store samples frozen. avoid repetitive freeze-thaw cycles with the stored samples to avoid protein degradation.

Q: how can I thaw whole blood sample for IGFBP-rp1 ELISA after freezing?
G. Patel

Asked: 2015-01-19
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 IGFBP-rp1 for a later time, you should let the blood clot in glass tubes and collect the serum to freeze for later use.

Question
Q: Can IGFBP-rp1 ELISA Kits be used with tissue homogenates (or other non-validated sample types)?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2014-10-23
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 valid for other sample types than we have tested: it means further investigation is needed. 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 check 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.
