Background of IL-33
Interleukin 33 (IL-33) is a cytokine belonging to the IL-1 superfamily. The IL33 gene maps to chromosome 9p24.1 by using of genomic database analysis. Recombinant mature human IL33 bound to ST2. The induction of type 2 cytokines by IL-33 in vivo is believed to induce the severe pathological changes observed in mucosal organs following administration of IL-33. IL33, an alarmin released from necrotic cells, is necessary for potent CD8 + T cell (CTL) responses to replicating, prototypic RNA, and DNA viruses in mice. IL33 prevented the downregulation of CXCR2 and inhibition of chemotaxis induced by activation of TLR4, and found that IL33 reverses the TLR4-induced reduction of CXCR2 expression via the inhibition of expression of GRK2.

7 Customer Q&As for Human IL-33 ELISA Kit PicoKine®
Question

M. Roberts
Verified customer
Asked: 2020-01-07
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 might differ by kit so please refer to each datasheet for details.

Question
Q: how to thaw whole blood sample for IL-33 ELISA after freezing?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2019-10-29
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 IL-33 for a later time, you should let the blood clot in glass tubes and separate the serum to freeze for later analysis.

Question
Q: if the enzyme conjugated IL-33 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 IL-33 antigen?
J. Thomas
Verified customer
Asked: 2019-03-13
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: for how much duration can samples (cell cultures, serum, and plasma) be stored and still be stable for measuring IL-33 using the EK0929 Human IL-33 Picokine® ELISA Kit?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2018-12-25
Answer
A: Boster Bio does not evaluate sample stability. Variations in sample collection, processing, and storage may change the stabilityof samples. It is recommend to assay sample on priority basis collection when possible, or aliquot into single use volumes and store samples frozen. avoid repeat freeze-thaw cycles with the stored samples in order to prevent protein degradation.

Question
Q: Can IL-33 ELISA Kits be used with tissue homogenates (or other non-validated sample types)?
N. Taylor
Verified customer
Asked: 2018-12-18
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: is it okay to use citrate plasma as samples in Human IL-33 Picokine® ELISA Kit (Catalog # EK0929)?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2018-07-04
Answer
A: Chelating agents such as EDTA, Heparin and Citrate can attach metal ions from the functional domain of IL-33 causing disruption of its protein structure. IL-33 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 IL-33 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.

Question
Q: Are Boster Bio recombinant proteins and antibodies sterile?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2018-03-31
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.
