Background of TGFB1

Transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1) is a multifunctional peptide that controls proliferation, differentiation, and other functions in many cell types. Many cells synthesize TGF-beta and essentially all of them have specific receptors for this peptide. TGF-beta regulates the actions of many other peptide growth factors and determines a positive or negative direction of their effects.TGFbeta1 is known for its potent and diverse biological effects, including immune regulation, and cell growth and differentiation.TGFbeta1 is also an important mediator of bone remodeling.TGFbeta1, a potent keratinocyte growth inhibitor, has been shown to be overexpressed in keratinocytes in certain inflammatory skin diseases and has been thought to counteract the effects of other growth factors at the site of inflammation.TGF-beta1, a multifunctional cytokine with fibrogenic properties, has been implicated in the pathogenesis of the vascular and target organ complications of hypertension. TGF-beta1 may also regulate blood pressure via stimulation of endothelin-1 and/or renin secretion. TGFbeta1 is secreted as a latent form, which consists of its mature form and a latency-associated peptide (beta1-LAP) in either the presence or the absence of additional latent TGF-beta1-binding protein. The standard product used in this kit is recombinant TGFbeta1 with the molecular mass of 25KDa.

Question

Q: if the enzyme conjugated TGFB1 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 TGFB1 antigen?

Verified Customer

Verified customer

Asked: 2020-10-24

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: can you recommend the dilution ratio of serum samples for detection of TGFB1 in Human serum? I am trying to measure a few analytes and it requires 100ul of diluted samples for each well. We have limited sample volumes so we like to dilute as much as possible.

Verified Customer

Verified customer

Asked: 2020-02-07

Answer

A: having little idea about 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 TGFB1 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.

Verified customer

Asked: 2019-11-08

Answer

Our lab hasn't woked on samples from cynomolgus monkey using Human TGF Beta 1 ELISA Kit PicoKine EK0513. The immunogen sequence of the antibody pairs as well as the standards is A279-S390. The sequence homology with cynomolgus monkey is 100%. It is suggested to run pilot tests with samples from cynomolgus monkey.

Question

Q: how long can samples (cell cultures, serum, and plasma) be stored and still be stable for measurement TGFB1 using the EK0513 Human TGFB1 Picokine® ELISA Kit?

Verified Customer

Verified customer

Asked: 2019-05-20

Answer

A: Boster Bio does not evaluate sample stability. Variations in sample collection, processing, and storage may alter 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 in order to limit protein degradation.

Question

Q: What is the optimal O.D. value for TGFB1 ELISA kit? I performed your TGFB1 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 TGFB1 even though the O.D. values are not very high?

Verified Customer

Verified customer

Asked: 2019-03-02

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. what you should focus on is whether your sample O.D. values are statistically significantly higher than your blank values. in the example mentioned, 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 TGFB1 ELISA kit to have sensitivity of 1pg/ml, that means the minimum amount of TGFB1 that can be declared/interpreted as positive by the above standard is 1pg/ml.

Question

Q: Can TGFB1 ELISA Kits be used with tissue homogenates (or other non-validated sample types)?

Verified Customer

Verified customer

Asked: 2018-10-13

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.

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.

Answer

EK0513 is used for the quantitative determination of activated human TGF Beta 1 concentrations in cell culture supernates, serum, plasma(EDTA), and urine. Because of this, it is a mandatory step to activate the TGFb prior to ELISA.

I would like to purchase the Human TGF Beta 1 ELISA Kit PicoKine to measure TGF concentration in human serum samples. Could you please provide me some tips on sample preparation?

Verified Customer

Verified customer

Asked: 2017-10-25

Answer

To condition a medium it is better to prepare serum free or low serum medium because sera contains cytokines. Day 0 seed 1M cells in 100mm tissue culture plate with complete medium. Day 3, remove the medium and replace it with 6-8 ml of low serum medium. Day 5 collect the medium into 15 ml tube. Spin at 2,000 rpm in centrifuge at 4 C for 10 minutes. Then save the supernatant and transfer it into 1.5 ml Eppendorf tubes. Store the supernatant at -80oC until experiment.
