Background of ErbB3/Her3
Receptor tyrosine-protein kinase erbB-3, also known as HER3 (human epidermal growth factor receptor 3), is a membrane bound protein that in humans is encoded by the ERBB3 gene. ErbB3 has been shown to bind the ligands heregulin and NRG-2. Ligand binding causes a change in conformation that allows for dimerization, phosphorylation, and activation of signal transduction. ErbB3 can heterodimerize with any of the other three ErbB family members. The theoretical ErbB3 homodimer would be non-functional because the kinase-impaired protein requires transphosporylation by its binding partner to be active. Unlike the other ErbB receptor tyrosine kinase family members which are activated through autophosphorylation upon ligand binding, ErbB3 is found to be kinase impaired, having only 1/1000th the autophosphorylation activity of EGFR and no ability to phosphorylate other proteins. Therefore, ErbB3 must act as anallosteric activator.

Intra Assay Consistency & Inter Assay Consistency
We measured random samples of Human ERBB3/Her3 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.

Question
Q: for how much duration can samples (cell cultures, serum, and plasma) be stored and still be stable for measurement ErbB3 using the EK1398 Human ErbB3 Picokine® ELISA Kit?
B. Varadkar
Verified customer
Asked: 2020-07-16
Answer
A: Boster Bio does not assess sample stability. Variations in sample collection, processing, and storage may change the stabilityof samples. It is recommend to assay sample immediately after collection when possible, or aliquot into single use volumes and store samples frozen. avoid repeat freeze-thaw cycles with the stored samples to limit protein degradation.

Question
Q: Are Boster Bio recombinant proteins and antibodies sterile?
S. Zhao
Verified customer
Asked: 2020-06-17
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 needed 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 suggestion regarding the dilution ratio of serum samples for detection of ErbB3 in Human cell lysates? I am trying to measure a few analytes and it requires 100ul of diluted samples for each well. We have low serum quantitys so we like to dilute as much as possible.
M. Kumar
Verified customer
Asked: 2019-10-17
Answer
A: without knowing 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 ErbB3 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.

Question
Q: What is the optimal O.D. value for ErbB3 ELISA kit? I performed your ErbB3 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 ErbB3 even though the O.D. values are not very high?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2019-08-30
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 the above 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. 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 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 ErbB3 ELISA kit to have sensitivity of 10pg/ml, that means the minimum amount of ErbB3 that can be declared/interpreted as positive by the above standard is 10pg/ml.

Question
What is a possible cause of having poor data using EK1398?
Verified customer
Asked: 2019-08-08
Answer
Incomplete washing is the main reason that resulted in the poor data (poor linearity, high background and drift). Please repeat the experiment and follow the tips listed below for plate washing; 1. Add sufficient volume of wash buffer into each well. 2. Invert the plate on the benchtop onto a paper towel and tap the plate to gently blot any remaining liquid while washing manually. 3. Ensure the automated plate washer wasn't contaminated and work as expected. 4. Ensure the pH value of the washi buffer is in the range of 7.2-7.6.

Question
Q: can I use citrate plasma as samples in Human ErbB3 Picokine® ELISA Kit (Catalog # EK1398)?
Z. Babu
Verified customer
Asked: 2018-11-02
Answer
A: Chelating agents such as EDTA, Heparin and Citrate can attach metal ions from the functional domain of ErbB3 causing disruption of its protein structure. ErbB3 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 ErbB3 ELISA, treating samples with various 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: can you tell me how to prepare cell lysates prepared for use in Picokine® ELISA kits?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2016-11-27
Answer
A: in those Picokine® ELISAs where cell or tissue lysate is a validated sample type, sample preparation instructions for lysate can be found in the product insert. Components in lysate and lysis buffer may impact immunoreactivity, so if lysate is not a validated sample type, care must be taken in sample preparation and validation.
