Background of IL-3
The gene IL-3 encodes interleukin 3, a hematopoietic colony-stimulating factor (CSF) that is capable of supporting the proliferation of a broad range of hematopoietic cell types. Interleukin-3 (IL-3), a protein of 140 amino acids, is chemically synthesized by means of an automated peptide synthesizer and is shown to have the biological activities attributed to native IL-3. The cDNA sequence for murine interleukin-3, one of the colony stimulating factors that regulate haematopoiesis, codes for a polypeptide of 166 amino acids including a putative signal peptide. The mouse IL 3 gene is located on chromosome 11. The human gene encoding IL 3 is tandemly arrayed on the long arm of chromosome 5. The standard product used in this kit is recombinant human IL-3, consisting of 133 amino acids with the molecular mass of 15KDa.

7 Customer Q&As for Human IL-3 ELISA Kit PicoKine®
Question
Q: how can I thaw whole blood sample for IL-3 ELISA after freezing?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2020-04-12
Answer
A: we do not recommend freezing 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 IL-3 for a later time, you should let the blood clot in glass tubes and separate the serum to freeze for later analysis.

Question
Q: we need your recommendation regarding the dilution ratio of serum samples for detection of IL-3 in Human plasma? I am trying to measure a few 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.
S. Turner
Verified customer
Asked: 2019-08-15
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 IL-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: how much samples can be assayed in a Picokine® ELISA Kit?
C. Puri
Verified customer
Asked: 2018-04-06
Answer
A: The Picokine® ELISA Kits will generally run a 7-point standard curve, non-specific binding wells, and 39 samples in duplicate. this may vary slightly by kit so please refer to each datasheet for details.

Question
Q: what is the protocol regarding preparation of cell lysates prepared for use in Picokine® ELISA kits?
M. Parker
Verified customer
Asked: 2017-05-15
Answer
A: for 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 may affect immunoreactivity, so if lysate is not a validated sample type, care must be taken in sample preparation and validation.
