Background of Tenascin C
Tenascin C (TN-C) is a glycoprotein that in humans is encoded by the TNC gene. It is expressed in the extracellular matrix of various tissues during development, disease or injury, and in restricted neurogenic areas of the central nervous system. Tenascin-C is the founding member of the gene family (Tenascin). In the embryo it is made by migrating cells like the neural crest; it is also abundant in developing tendons, bone and cartilage. TN-C clearly plays a role in cell signaling as evidenced by its ability to be induced during events such as trauma, inflammation, or cancer development. Also, TN-C is important in regulating cell proliferation and migration, especially during developmental differentiation and wound healing.

Intra Assay Consistency & Inter Assay Consistency
We measured random samples of Human Tenascin-C/TNC ELISA Kit PicoKine® within the same batch/lot to ensure the consistency of the kits' performances. ELISA intra assay consistency is measured using wells from the same plate/assay kit. ELISA inter assay consistency is measured using wells from different plates from the same batch production/lot.

6 Customer Q&As for Human Tenascin-C/TNC ELISA Kit PicoKine®
Question
Q: which procedure should I follow in order to thaw whole blood sample for Tenascin C ELISA after freezing?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2020-08-11
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 Tenascin C for a later time, you should let the blood clot in glass tubes and separate the serum to freeze for later analysis.

Question
Q: What is the optimal O.D. value for Tenascin C ELISA kit? I used your Tenascin C 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. can I consider these samples contain Tenascin C even though the O.D. values are not very high?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2020-03-27
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. 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 Tenascin C ELISA kit to have sensitivity of 10pg/ml, that means the minimum amount of Tenascin C that can be declared/interpreted as positive by the above standard is 10pg/ml.

Question
Do you have experience with liquor (CSF samples) using EK1170? Any recommendations?
Verified customer
Asked: 2019-03-05
Answer
Our lab technicians haven't tested the Human Tenascin-C/TNC ELISA Kit PicoKine™ (EK1170) in liquor (CSF samples). We suggest the customer to run a pilot test. In theory, the kit is able to detect the target protein if the expression level of TNC in the CSF sample falls in the assay range of EK1170.

Question
Q: Are Boster Bio recombinant proteins and antibodies sterile?
H. Jones
Verified customer
Asked: 2017-10-19
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.
