Background of CXCL1/GRO alpha/KC/CINC-1
Chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 1 (CXCL1) is a small cytokine belonging to the CXC chemokine family that was previously called GRO1 oncogene, GROalpha, KC, Neutrophil-activating protein 3 (NAP-3) and melanoma growth stimulating activity, alpha (MSGA-alpha). In humans, this protein is encoded by the CXCL1 gene. The gene for CXCL1 is located on human chromosome 4 amongst genes for other CXC chemokines. The mature form of CXCL1 is maximally 73 amino acids long. CXCL1 is secreted by human melanoma cells, has mitogenic properties and is implicated in melanoma pathogenesis. CXCL1 is expressed by macrophages, neutrophils and epithelial cells, and has neutrophil chemoattractant activity. This chemokine elicits its effects by signaling through the chemokine receptor CXCR2.CXCL1 decreased the severity of multiple sclerosis and may offer a neuro-protective function.

Question
Q: how can I thaw whole blood sample for CXCL1 ELISA after freezing?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2020-11-18
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 CXCL1 for a later time, you should let the blood clot in glass tubes and separate the serum to freeze for later analysis.

Question
Q: What is the optimal O.D. value for CXCL1 ELISA kit? I performed your CXCL1 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 CXCL1 even though the O.D. values are not very high?
Z. Jha
Verified customer
Asked: 2020-08-18
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. considering 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. normally, 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 CXCL1 ELISA kit to have sensitivity of 1pg/ml, that means the minimum amount of CXCL1 that can be declared/interpreted as positive by the above standard is 1pg/ml.

Question
Q: can you recommend the dilution ratio of serum samples for detection of CXCL1 in Human serum? I am trying to measure a few analytes and it requires 100ul of diluted samples for each well. We have limited sample quantitys so we like to dilute as much as possible.
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2020-01-08
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 CXCL1 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.

Asked: 2019-03-21
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 have a customer who wants to order 50 kits of EK0722 now and another 450 as long as they test well. I need to know the turnaround on the first 50 kits and estimated production time for the other 450. Also both the 50 and the 450 need to be from the same lot. If there is a timeframe they need to order the 50 and then the 450 to keep the lot. Example within 2 months?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2017-08-21
Answer
It takes one week for our lab technicains to prepare 50 kits of EK0722. If the customer need another 450 kits from the same lot, please notify us 5 weeks in advance. And we will send the 450 kits out 5 weeks later after we receive their notification. We can hold 450 kits for them for up to 6 months. Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Q: how much samples can be assayed in a Picokine® ELISA Kit?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2016-12-20
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: if the enzyme conjugated CXCL1 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 CXCL1 antigen?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2016-11-24
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 I use heparin plasma as samples in Human CXCL1 Picokine® ELISA Kit (Catalog # EK0722)?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2016-01-28
Answer
A: Chelating agents such as EDTA, Heparin and Citrate can bind metal ions from the functional domain of CXCL1 causing degradation of its protein structure. CXCL1 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 CXCL1 ELISA, treating samples with different anticoagulants and decided that heparin, EDTA or citrate can be used for treatment of blood/plasma samples. Do not use other anticoagulents when collecting samples.
