Background of CCL14
Chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 14 (CCL14) is a small cytokine belonging to the CC chemokine family. It is also commonly known as HCC-1. It is produced as a protein precursor that is processed to generate a mature active protein containing 74 amino acids that and is 46% identical in amino acid composition to CCL3 and CCL4. This chemokine is expressed in various tissues including spleen, bone marrow, liver, muscle, and gut. CCL14 activates monocytes, but does not induce their chemotaxis. In addition, HCC-1 enhanced the proliferation of CD34+ myeloid progenitor cells. It was as effective as MIP-1 alpha, but about 100-fold less potent. Human CCL14 is located on chromosome 17 within a cluster of other chemokines belonging to the CC family.

Question
Q: if the enzyme conjugated CCL14 antibodies are mixed with the substrate, will that convert the substrate into the enzymatic reaction product? Or the enzyme function is only activated when the antibody is attached with the CCL14 antigen?
H. Babu
Verified customer
Asked: 2020-11-16
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: how to thaw whole blood sample for CCL14 ELISA after freezing?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2019-03-28
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 CCL14 for a later time, you should let the blood clot in glass tubes and separate the serum to freeze for later analysis.

Question
Can EK1123 be used in urine sample?
Verified customer
Asked: 2019-03-11
Answer
For Human CCL14/HCC-1 ELISA Kit PicoKine™ (EK1123), we have not validated this kit with urine sample. In theory, the ELISA kit will work for all sample types if the target protein is present at a level that falls within the linear range of the ELISA kit detection range. We guarantee the kit to work on the sample types that we have tested. For sample types that we have not tested for, we suggest customers to run pilot experiments to decide the optimal sample dilution.

Question
Q: can I use citrate plasma as samples in Human CCL14 Picokine® ELISA Kit (Catalog # EK1123)?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2018-06-03
Answer
A: Chelating agents such as EDTA, Heparin and Citrate can attach metal ions from the functional domain of CCL14 causing disruption of its protein structure. CCL14 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 CCL14 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 CCL14 ELISA kit? I used your CCL14 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 CCL14 even though the O.D. values are not very high?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2017-04-14
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 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 CCL14 ELISA kit to have sensitivity of 10pg/ml, that means the minimum amount of CCL14 that can be declared/interpreted as positive by the above standard is 10pg/ml.

S. Surve
Verified customer
Asked: 2015-12-25
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.
