Background of IL-17/IL-17A
IL-17 is an inflammatory cytokine produced primarily by a unique lineage of CD4 T cells that plays critical roles in the pathogenesis of multiple autoimmune diseases. Interleukin-17 is expressed by activated T cells and is 57% identical to the 17- to 26-kD secretory glycoprotein encoded by gene 13 of the herpesvirus saimiri (HVS-13). IL17 induces nuclear factor kappa-B and the expression of IL6, intercellular adhesion molecule-1, granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor,and prostaglandin E2, as well as the maturation of CD34 positive hematopoietic precursors into neutrophils. Anti-IL17 antibodies significantly inhibited osteoclast formation induced by culture media of RA synovial tissues. The standard product used in this kit is recombinant human IL-17, consisting of 136 amino acids with the molecular mass of 16KDa.

Is Human IL-17/IL-17A ELISA Kit PicoKine™ (EK0430) the same with Anti- IL17 ELISA?
Verified customer
Asked: 2021-01-26
Answer
The Anti- usually indicates antibodies rather than ELISA kits.

Question
Q: how many samples can be assayed in a Picokine® ELISA Kit?
R. Martinez
Verified customer
Asked: 2020-03-05
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 IL-17 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 IL-17 antigen?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2019-12-27
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 are cell lysates prepared for use in Picokine® ELISA kits?
E. Huang
Verified customer
Asked: 2019-07-10
Answer
A: for 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 change immunoreactivity, so if lysate is not a validated sample type, care must be taken in sample preparation and validation.

Question
Q: is it okay to use citrate plasma as samples in Human IL-17 Picokine® ELISA Kit (Catalog # EK0430)?
S. Dhawan
Verified customer
Asked: 2019-05-17
Answer
A: Chelating agents such as EDTA, Heparin and Citrate can attach metal ions from the functional domain of IL-17 causing disruption of its protein structure. IL-17 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 IL-17 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: how can I thaw whole blood sample for IL-17 ELISA after freezing?
H. Dhawan
Verified customer
Asked: 2018-11-03
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 IL-17 for a later time, you should let the blood clot in glass tubes and collect the serum to freeze for later use.

Question
Q: What is the optimal O.D. value for IL-17 ELISA kit? I performed your IL-17 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 IL-17 even though the O.D. values are not very high?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2016-04-03
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 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 IL-17 ELISA kit to have sensitivity of 1pg/ml, that means the minimum amount of IL-17 that can be declared/interpreted as positive by the above standard is 1pg/ml.
