Background of Hjv
Hemojuvelin (HJV/RGMc/HFE2) is a membrane-bound and soluble protein in mammals. It is a member of a three gene family (in vertebrates) called the repulsive guidance molecules. In mouse, the Hemojuvelin protein is encoded by the HFE2 gene, and it is mapped to Chromosome 3. It was concluded that downregulation of hepatic Hemojuvelin during inflammation may induce a temporary elimination of iron sensing. Hemojuvelin is a coreceptor for bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs), and inhibition of endogenous BMP signaling reduces hepcidin expression and increases serum iron in mice. Furthermore, Hemojuvelin may play inhibitory roles in prostate cancer by suppressing cell growth, adhesion, migration and invasion.

5 Customer Q&As for Mouse Hemojuvelin/RGM-C/HJV ELISA Kit PicoKine®
Question
Q: can I use citrate plasma as samples in Mouse Hfe2 Picokine® ELISA Kit (Catalog # EK1370)?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2018-07-13
Answer
A: Chelating agents such as EDTA, Heparin and Citrate can sequester metal ions from the functional domain of Hfe2 causing degradation of its protein structure. Hfe2 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 Hfe2 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: What is the optimal O.D. value for Hfe2 ELISA kit? I used your Hfe2 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 Hfe2 even though the O.D. values are not very high?
Verified Customer

Asked: 2018-05-07
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 relation 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 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 Hfe2 ELISA kit to have sensitivity of 10pg/ml, that means the minimum amount of Hfe2 that can be declared/interpreted as positive by the above standard is 10pg/ml.

Question
Q: what is the protocol regarding preparation of cell lysates prepared for use in Picokine® ELISA kits?
D. Garcia
Verified customer
Asked: 2018-03-13
Answer
A: for those Picokine® ELISAs where cell or tissue lysate is a validated sample type, sample preparation instructions for lysate are included in the product insert. Components in lysate and lysis buffer can affect immunoreactivity, so if lysate is not a validated sample type, care must be taken in sample preparation and validation.

Question
Q: how to thaw whole blood sample for Hfe2 ELISA after freezing?
E. Puri
Verified customer
Asked: 2016-11-03
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 Hfe2 for a later time, you should let the blood clot in glass tubes and separate the serum to freeze for later analysis.
