Background of Clusterin/APOJ
Clusterin (apolipoprotein J) is a 75 - 80 kDa disulfide-linked heterodimeric protein associated with the clearance of cellular debris and apoptosis.[1] In humans, clusterin is encoded by the CLU gene.This protein has several synonyms: dimeric acidic glycoprotein (DAG protein), testosterone repressed prostate message-2 (TRPM-2), sulfated glycoprotein-2 (SGP-2) and complement lysis inhibitor (CLI). Clusterin was mapped to mouse chromosome 14. Clusterin is a ubiquitously expressed molecule thought to influence a variety of processes including cell death. In the brain, it accumulates in dying neurons following seizures and hypoxic-ischemic (H-I) injury. clusterin may be a new therapeutic target to modulate non-caspase-dependent neuronal death following acute brain injury.

6 Customer Q&As for Human Clusterin ELISA Kit PicoKine®
Question
What is the normal range of clusterin in saliva as well as the dilution factor and detection range of EK0914?
Verified customer
Asked: 2020-12-10
Answer
The range of clusterin in saliva is 82-695ng/ml. Recommended diulution factor is around 1:20. The assay range of standard in the Human Clusterin ELISA Kit PicoKine™ (EK0914) is 0.78ng/ml-50ng/ml. Please estimate the concentration of the target protein in the sample and use an appropriate dilution factor so that the diluted target protein concentration falls in the middle range of O.D. values of the standard curve.

Question
Q: if the enzyme conjugated Clusterin 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 Clusterin antigen?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2020-05-08
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: which procedure should I follow in order to thaw whole blood sample for Clusterin ELISA after freezing?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2019-02-25
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 Clusterin for a later time, you should let the blood clot in glass tubes and collect the serum to freeze for later use.

Question
Q: how many samples can be assayed in a Picokine® ELISA Kit?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2018-07-13
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 vary slightly by kit so please refer to each datasheet for details.

Question
Q: how long can samples (cell cultures, serum, and plasma) be stored and still be stable for measuring Clusterin using the EK0914 Human Clusterin Picokine® ELISA Kit?
N. Harris
Verified customer
Asked: 2018-04-29
Answer
A: Boster Bio does not evaluate 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. limit repetitive freeze-thaw cycles with the stored samples in order to limit protein degradation.
