Background of IL-37/IL-1F7
Interleukin 37 (IL-37) also named IL1F7, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the IL1F7 gene. The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the interleukin 1 cytokine family. And it is mapped to 2q13. In vitro expression analysis showed that IL-37 was a secretory protein. And IL-37 could play an important role in the link between innate and adaptive immunity and may be useful for tumor immunotherapy. Meanwhile, IL-37 inhibits the production of inflammatory cytokines in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus. In addition, IL-37 can emerged as a dual-function cytokine with intra- and extracellular properties for suppressing innate inflammation. Furthermore, IL-37 is a new anti-inflammatory cytokine that plays an important role in protecting against tissue injury during infections via limiting immune and inflammatory reactions.

Question
In your Datasheet it is not mentioned if the kit recognizes all isoforms (A to E), or only certain isoforms. If the kit recognizes every isoform, is there any difference in the antibodies' affinity? Are the epitopes/immunogen sequences of the capture and detection antibodies, conserved among all the isoforms?
Verified customer
Asked: 2020-08-26
Answer
Our lab hasn't experimentally validated if the kit is able to recognize all isoforms. The immunogen sequence of both the capture and detection antibodies in EK1363 is Lys27-Asp192 Accession # Q9NZH6-2. According to the sequence of the antibody pairs, the kit is specific to isoform A.

Question
Q: What is the optimal O.D. value for IL-37 ELISA kit? I performed your IL-37 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 IL-37 even though the O.D. values are not very high?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2020-06-17
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. a point of focus should be is whether your sample O.D. values are statistically significantly higher than your blank values. considering your assay, 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 IL-37 ELISA kit to have sensitivity of 10pg/ml, that means the minimum amount of IL-37 that can be declared/interpreted as positive by the above standard is 10pg/ml.

Question
Q: how are cell lysates prepared for use in Picokine® ELISA kits?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2019-09-18
Answer
A: in those Picokine® ELISAs where cell or tissue lysate is a validated sample type, sample preparation instructions for lysate are present in the product insert. Components in lysate and lysis buffer can change immunoreactivity, so if lysate is not a validated sample type, care must be taken in sample preparation and validation.

Q: how long can samples (cell cultures, serum, and plasma) be stored and still be stable for quantification IL-37 using the EK1363 Human IL-37 Picokine® ELISA Kit?
Y. Wright
Verified customer
Asked: 2019-02-01
Answer
A: Boster Bio does not assess sample stability. Variations in sample collection, processing, and storage may change 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 repeat freeze-thaw cycles with the stored samples to limit protein degradation.

Question
Q: we need your recommendation regarding the dilution ratio of serum samples for detection of IL-37 in Human cell lysates? I am trying to measure a a number of 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.
J. Moore
Verified customer
Asked: 2018-10-18
Answer
A: without having an understanding 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-37 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: can I use citrate plasma as samples in Human IL-37 Picokine® ELISA Kit (Catalog # EK1363)?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2018-08-05
Answer
A: Chelating agents such as EDTA, Heparin and Citrate can irreversibly bind metal ions from the functional domain of IL-37 causing degradation of its protein structure. IL-37 may be denatured as a result and may compromise the assay's measurements. The chilating sites could also be too close to the epitopes needed for detection and block the antigen antibody reaction. We have tested the IL-37 ELISA, treating samples with a number of 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: Can IL-37 ELISA Kits be used with tissue homogenates (or other non-validated sample types)?
E. Martinez
Verified customer
Asked: 2018-07-02
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 required. 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 evaluated 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.
