Background of TFPI
TFPI (Tissue factor pathway inhibitor),also known as EPI, LACI or TFPI1, is a single-chain polypeptide which can reversibly inhibit Factor Xa (Xa) and Thrombin (Factor IIa). The gene for TFPI is located on chromosome 2q31-q32.1, and has nine exons which span 70 kb. TFPI consists of a highly negatively-charged amino-terminus, three tandemly-linked Kunitz domains, and a highly positively-charged carboxy-terminus. TFPI contributes significantly to the inhibition of Xa in vivo, despite being present at concentrations of only 2.5 nM.

8 Customer Q&As for Mouse TFPI ELISA Kit PicoKine®
Question
Q: What is the optimal O.D. value for TFPI ELISA kit? I performed your TFPI 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 TFPI even though the O.D. values are not very high?
S. Varma
Verified customer
Asked: 2020-01-31
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 your example, 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 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 TFPI ELISA kit to have sensitivity of 10pg/ml, that means the minimum amount of TFPI that can be declared/interpreted as positive by the above standard is 10pg/ml.

Question
Q: which procedure should I follow in order to thaw whole blood sample for TFPI ELISA after freezing?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2019-12-27
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 TFPI for a later time, you should let the blood clot in glass tubes and collect the serum to freeze for later use.

Question
Q: can you tell me how to prepare cell lysates prepared for use in Picokine® ELISA kits?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2019-07-03
Answer
A: in those Picokine® ELISAs where cell or tissue lysate is a validated sample type, sample preparation instructions for lysate are present 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: if the enzyme conjugated TFPI 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 TFPI antigen?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2018-09-23
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: is it okay to use citrate plasma as samples in Mouse TFPI Picokine® ELISA Kit (Catalog # EK1355)?
W. Jackson
Verified customer
Asked: 2018-02-28
Answer
A: Chelating agents such as EDTA, Heparin and Citrate can irreversibly bind metal ions from the functional domain of TFPI causing degradation of its protein structure. TFPI 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 TFPI ELISA, treating samples with different 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: Are Boster Bio recombinant proteins and antibodies sterile?
Z. Robinson
Verified customer
Asked: 2016-10-11
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
Q: we need your recommendation regarding the dilution ratio of serum samples for detection of TFPI in Mouse cell lysates? 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.
H. Edwards
Verified customer
Asked: 2014-11-17
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 TFPI 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.
