Background of IL-7
Interleukin 7 (IL7) is a protein that is encoded by the IL7 gene in humans. The gene for human interleukin 7 (IL7) maps to chromosome 8 by Southern analysis of a somatic cell hybrid panel and to 8q12-q13 by in situ hybridization.1IL-7 is essential for survival and expansion of pathogenic T helper type 17 (T (H)17) cells in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE).2

Intra Assay Consistency & Inter Assay Consistency
We measured random samples of Mouse IL-7/Interleukin-7 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.

Question
Q: for how much duration can samples (cell cultures, serum, and plasma) be stored and still be stable for measuring IL-7 using the EK0780 Mouse IL-7 Picokine® ELISA Kit?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2020-12-20
Answer
A: Boster Bio does not assess sample stability. Variations in sample collection, processing, and storage may change the stabilityof samples. It is recommend to assay sample on-stat collection when possible, or aliquot into single use volumes and store samples frozen. avoid repetitive freeze-thaw cycles with the stored samples in order to limit protein degradation.

Question
Q: Are Boster Bio recombinant proteins and antibodies sterile?
V. Miller
Verified customer
Asked: 2020-05-11
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
I would like to ask if this antibody Mouse IL-7 ELISA Kit PicoKine react both the membrane bound and soluble protein. Can this kit differentiate between the two?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2019-12-02
Answer
The Mouse IL-7 ELISA Kit PicoKine antibody will only detect soluble IL-7. This kit has not been validated with cell or tissue lysate, so it will not determine if the kit will also detect IL-7 bound to its membrane receptor. However, even if this kit is not validated with tissue lysates, that doesn

Question
Q: if the enzyme conjugated IL-7 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-7 antigen?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2019-03-24
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 IL-7 ELISA Kits be used with tissue homogenates (or other non-validated sample types)?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2018-11-18
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 needed. 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: is it okay to use edta plasma as samples in Mouse IL-7 Picokine® ELISA Kit (Catalog # EK0780)?
W. Taylor
Verified customer
Asked: 2018-11-14
Answer
A: Chelating agents such as EDTA, Heparin and Citrate can bind metal ions from the functional domain of IL-7 causing disruption of its protein structure. IL-7 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-7 ELISA, treating samples with a number of anticoagulants and decided that EDTA can be used for treatment of blood/plasma samples. Do not use other anticoagulents when collecting samples.

Question
Q: how many samples can be assayed in a Picokine® ELISA Kit?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2018-10-30
Answer
A: The Picokine® ELISA Kits will generally run a 7-point standard curve, non-specific binding wells, and 39 samples in duplicate. this may might differ by kit so please refer to each datasheet for details.

Question
Q: which procedure should I follow in order to thaw whole blood sample for IL-7 ELISA after freezing?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2018-06-27
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-7 for a later time, you should let the blood clot in glass tubes and collect the serum to freeze for later use.

Question
Q: what is the protocol regarding preparation of cell lysates prepared for use in Picokine® ELISA kits?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2016-10-06
Answer
A: for 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 can effect immunoreactivity, so if lysate is not a validated sample type, care must be taken in sample preparation and validation.
