Description
SFTPD (surfactant protein D; SP-D) is a collectin that contributes to pulmonary innate defense by binding microbial ligands (e.g., LPS) and can engage pattern-recognition receptor modules (e.g., reported interactions with TLR complexes in curated pathway resources). SP-D is also widely studied as a circulating biomarker of alveolar-capillary barrier injury in acute/chronic lung disease contexts (clinical interpretation depends on cohort and assay). Assay context: quantitative human SFTPD ELISA for cell culture supernatants, cell lysates, serum, and plasma (heparin/EDTA); sensitivity 20 pg/mL; can be interpreted alongside anti-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-10 when profiling inflammation–resolution balance (putative co-panel).
Storage & Handling

Background of SFTPD
Surfactant, pulmonary-associated protein D, also known as SFTPD or SP-D, is a protein which in humans is encoded by the SFTPD gene. By fluorescence in situ hybridization, the SP-D gene was localized in 10q22.2-q23.1. On the basis of homology with other collectins, potential functions for SP-D include roles in innate immunity and surfactant metabolism, SP-D is produced in the bronchiolar and terminal epithelium of human fetal lung from about 21 weeks of gestation. What’s more, SP-A and SP-D act as dual-function surveillance molecules that reverse orientation and function and become initiators of host-defense reactions.

Question
Q: what is the protocol regarding preparation of cell lysates prepared for use in Picokine® ELISA kits?
T. Mitchell
Verified customer
Asked: 2020-03-04
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 may affect immunoreactivity, so if lysate is not a validated sample type, care must be taken in sample preparation and validation.

Question
Q: Can SP-D ELISA Kits be used with tissue homogenates (or other non-validated sample types)?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2019-04-19
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: Are Boster Bio recombinant proteins and antibodies sterile?
R. Hall
Verified customer
Asked: 2018-08-21
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 required for an experiment, the material can be filtered through a 0.2 micron filter designed for use with biological fluids.

Question
Q: if the enzyme conjugated SP-D 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 SP-D antigen?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2018-03-27
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: how to thaw whole blood sample for SP-D ELISA after freezing?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2016-06-13
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 SP-D for a later time, you should let the blood clot in glass tubes and collect the serum to freeze for later use.
