Background of IL-17/IL-17A

IL-17 is an inflammatory cytokine produced primarily by a unique lineage of CD4 T cells that plays critical roles in the pathogenesis of multiple autoimmune diseases. Interleukin-17 is expressed by activated T cells and is 57% identical to the 17- to 26-kD secretory glycoprotein encoded by gene 13 of the herpesvirus saimiri (HVS-13). IL17 induces nuclear factor kappa-B and the expression of IL6, intercellular adhesion molecule-1, granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor,and prostaglandin E2, as well as the maturation of CD34 positive hematopoietic precursors into neutrophils. Anti-IL17 antibodies significantly inhibited osteoclast formation induced by culture media of RA synovial tissues. The standard product used in this kit is recombinant mouse IL-17, consisting of 137 amino acids with the molecular mass of 15.5KDa.

10 Customer Q&As for Mouse IL-17/IL-17A ELISA Kit PicoKine®

Question

Is EK0431 kit guaranteed for tissue homogenates and what are the input and tips on using this kit for tissue homogenate?

Verified customer

Asked: 2019-08-16

Answer

The Mouse IL-17 ELISA Kit PicoKine EK0431 has not been validated for tissue homogenates therefore it is not guaranteed. For tissue homogenates, endogenous biotin should be considered. Endogenous biotin in tissue homogenates might introduce false positive signal. Please run the test as described below to confirm if there is Endogenous biotin in the tissue lysate samples using the ELISA kit. • Add tissue homogenates into the wells and then add ABC and TMB without adding any biotinylated detection antibody to see if any signal will be observed. • If no signal is produced, then you can work on the tissue sample by using the kit.

Question

Q: how can I thaw whole blood sample for IL-17 ELISA after freezing?

Verified Customer

Verified customer

Asked: 2019-07-09

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 IL-17 for a later time, you should let the blood clot in glass tubes and separate the serum to freeze for later analysis.

Asked: 2019-05-16

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 IL-17 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 IL-17 antigen?

Verified Customer

Verified customer

Asked: 2017-12-19

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

I purchased your product EK0431, how do I reconstitute my standard?

Verified Customer

Verified customer

Asked: 2017-12-14

Answer

We suggest when you reconstitute your standard, after it has been totally defrosted, spin the vial down, reconstitute with assay diluent and then spin down again before use. In making standard dilutions we recommend to keep everything on ice since diluted standard are not stable and need to be used at the same day. Mix your standard thoroughly by pipetting up and down but do not vortex the solution as this might damage the protein.

Asked: 2017-11-30

Answer

The product EK0431, unfortunately the epitope mapping has not been performed, so we do not have any information at what exact region binds to the mouse IL-17 protein. But we can let you know that this antibody pair is binding between amino acids 26 and 158 of mature mouse IL-17 as the whole mature protein used as immunogen.

Question

Q: we need your suggestion regarding the dilution ratio of serum samples for detection of IL-17 in Mouse plasma? I am trying to measure a multiple analytes and it requires 100ul of diluted samples for each well. We have low serum volumes so we like to dilute as much as possible.

S. Li

Verified customer

Asked: 2017-11-17

Answer

A: without knowing 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 IL-17 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.

Question

Q: is it okay to use citrate plasma as samples in Mouse IL-17 Picokine® ELISA Kit (Catalog # EK0431)?

Verified Customer

Verified customer

Asked: 2017-06-20

Answer

A: Chelating agents such as EDTA, Heparin and Citrate can irreversibly bind metal ions from the functional domain of IL-17 causing degradation of its protein structure. IL-17 may be denatured as a result and may compromise the assay's measurements. The chilating sites could also be too close to the epitopes a must for detection and block the antigen antibody reaction. We have tested the IL-17 ELISA, treating samples with various 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 IL-17 ELISA kit? I performed your IL-17 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 IL-17 even though the O.D. values are not very high?

Verified Customer

Verified customer

Asked: 2016-10-18

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. a point of focus 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. 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 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 IL-17 ELISA kit to have sensitivity of 1pg/ml, that means the minimum amount of IL-17 that can be declared/interpreted as positive by the above standard is 1pg/ml.
