Background of Plexin B2
Plexin-B2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the PLXNB2 gene. It is mapped to 15 E3; 15 44.68 cM. Members of the B class of plexins, such as PLXNB2 are transmembrane receptors that participate in axon guidance and cell migration in response to semaphorins.

Intra Assay Consistency & Inter Assay Consistency
We measured random samples of Mouse Plexin B2/PLXNB2 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 Mouse Plexin B2/PLXNB2 ELISA Kit PicoKine®
Question
Q: Can Plexin B2 ELISA Kits be used with tissue homogenates (or other non-validated sample types)?
H. Zhang
Verified customer
Asked: 2019-05-03
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 valid for other sample types than we have tested: it means further investigation is required. 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 citrate plasma as samples in Mouse Plexin B2 Picokine® ELISA Kit (Catalog # EK1882)?
D. King
Verified customer
Asked: 2018-10-30
Answer
A: Chelating agents such as EDTA, Heparin and Citrate can bind metal ions from the functional domain of Plexin B2 causing disruption of its protein structure. Plexin B2 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 Plexin B2 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: how to thaw whole blood sample for Plexin B2 ELISA after freezing?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2018-05-17
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 Plexin B2 for a later time, you should let the blood clot in glass tubes and separate the serum to freeze for later analysis.

Question
Q: how long can samples (cell cultures, serum, and plasma) be stored and still be stable for measurement Plexin B2 using the EK1882 Mouse Plexin B2 Picokine® ELISA Kit?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2018-04-06
Answer
A: Boster Bio does not assess sample stability. Variations in sample collection, processing, and storage may alter the stabilityof samples. It is recommend to assay sample on priority basis collection when possible, or aliquot into single use volumes and store samples frozen. limit repetitive freeze-thaw cycles with the stored samples in order to limit protein degradation.

Question
Q: What is the optimal O.D. value for Plexin B2 ELISA kit? I used your Plexin B2 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 Plexin B2 even though the O.D. values are not very high?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2018-01-26
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. 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 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 Plexin B2 ELISA kit to have sensitivity of 0.1ng/ml, that means the minimum amount of Plexin B2 that can be declared/interpreted as positive by the above standard is 0.1ng/ml.
