Background of IL-29/IFN-lambda 1
Interferon lambda-1, also called Interleukin-29 (IL-29) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the IL29 gene. IL-29 is a member of the helical cytokine family and is a type III interferon. This gene is mapped to 19q13.2. It is a cytokine with immunomodulatory activity. This gene may play a role in antiviral immunity. It can up-regulates MHC class I antigen expression. It is the ligand for the heterodimeric class II cytokine receptor composed of IL10RB and IFNLR1. The ligand/receptor complex seems to signal through the Jak-STAT pathway. IL-29 plays an important role in host defenses against microbes and its gene is highly upregulated in cells infected with viruses.

Intra Assay Consistency & Inter Assay Consistency
We measured random samples of Human IL-29 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: Are Boster Bio recombinant proteins and antibodies sterile?
R. Perez
Verified customer
Asked: 2020-07-14
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.

Q: how long can samples (cell cultures, serum, and plasma) be stored and still be stable for analysis IL-29 using the EK0964 Human IL-29 Picokine® ELISA Kit?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2020-03-04
Answer
A: Boster Bio does not evaluate sample stability. Variations in sample collection, processing, and storage may alter the stabilityof samples. It is recommend to assay sample right after collection when possible, or aliquot into single use volumes and store samples frozen. avoid repeat freeze-thaw cycles with the stored samples to avoid protein degradation.

Question
Q: What is the optimal O.D. value for IL-29 ELISA kit? I performed your IL-29 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 IL-29 even though the O.D. values are not very high?
Y. Evans
Verified customer
Asked: 2020-01-30
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. a point of focus should be is whether your sample O.D. values are statistically significantly higher than your blank values. in your 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 proportion 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 IL-29 ELISA kit to have sensitivity of 10pg/ml, that means the minimum amount of IL-29 that can be declared/interpreted as positive by the above standard is 10pg/ml.

Question
Q: how are cell lysates prepared for use in Picokine® ELISA kits?
W. Nelson
Verified customer
Asked: 2019-11-09
Answer
A: in 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 impact 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-29 Picokine® ELISA Kit (Catalog # EK0964)?
J. Harris
Verified customer
Asked: 2019-10-22
Answer
A: Chelating agents such as EDTA, Heparin and Citrate can sequester metal ions from the functional domain of IL-29 causing degradation of its protein structure. IL-29 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-29 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: can you suggest the dilution ratio of serum samples for detection of IL-29 in Human serum? I am trying to measure a multiple 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.
L. Surve
Verified customer
Asked: 2019-01-10
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 IL-29 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: if the enzyme conjugated IL-29 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-29 antigen?
M. Robinson
Verified customer
Asked: 2018-08-25
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 IL-29 ELISA after freezing?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2018-01-02
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 IL-29 for a later time, you should let the blood clot in glass tubes and collect the serum to freeze for later use.
