Background of Serpin A6/Cortisol Binding Globulin

Corticosteroid-binding globulin (CBG), also known as Serpin A6 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SERPINA6 gene. It is mapped to 14q32.13. This gene encodes an alpha-globulin protein with corticosteroid-binding properties. This is the major transport protein for glucorticoids and progestins in the blood of most vertebrates. The gene localizes to a chromosomal region containing several closely related serine protease inhibitors which may have evolved by duplication events.

Question

Q: is it okay to use citrate plasma as samples in Human Serpin A6 Picokine® ELISA Kit (Catalog # EK1963)?

Verified Customer

Verified customer

Asked: 2020-09-23

Answer

A: Chelating agents such as EDTA, Heparin and Citrate can bind metal ions from the functional domain of Serpin A6 causing disruption of its protein structure. Serpin A6 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 Serpin A6 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: how are cell lysates prepared for use in Picokine® ELISA kits?

W. Evans

Verified customer

Asked: 2020-08-06

Answer

A: in 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 can effect immunoreactivity, so if lysate is not a validated sample type, care must be taken in sample preparation and validation.

Question

Q: how long can samples (cell cultures, serum, and plasma) be stored and still be stable for measurement Serpin A6 using the EK1963 Human Serpin A6 Picokine® ELISA Kit?

P. Walker

Verified customer

Asked: 2020-04-29

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 immediately 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.

Question

Q: What is the optimal O.D. value for Serpin A6 ELISA kit? I used your Serpin A6 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 Serpin A6 even though the O.D. values are not very high?

C. Anderson

Verified customer

Asked: 2020-02-25

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. an important assessment should be is whether your sample O.D. values are statistically significantly higher than your blank values. regarding 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. normally, 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 converting 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 Serpin A6 ELISA kit to have sensitivity of 50pg/ml, that means the minimum amount of Serpin A6 that can be declared/interpreted as positive by the above standard is 50pg/ml.

Question

Q: if the enzyme conjugated Serpin A6 antibodies are mixed with the substrate, will that convert the substrate into the enzymatic reaction product? Or the enzyme function is only activated when the antibody is attached with the Serpin A6 antigen?

C. Nelson

Verified customer

Asked: 2017-12-30

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.

Q: Are Boster Bio recombinant proteins and antibodies sterile?

G. Collins

Verified customer

Asked: 2017-03-14

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

Question

Q: which procedure should I follow in order to thaw whole blood sample for Serpin A6 ELISA after freezing?

Verified Customer

Verified customer

Asked: 2016-11-27

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 Serpin A6 for a later time, you should let the blood clot in glass tubes and separate the serum to freeze for later analysis.
