Background of Survivin
Survivin (also termed API4) belongs to the family of genes known as inhibitors of apoptosis, and it has been implicated in both prevention of cell death and control of mitosis. Survivin is prominently expressed in transformed cell lines and in all the most common human cancers of lung, colon, pancreas, prostate and breast in vivo. It is also found in approximately 50% of high-grade non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. Survivin encodes a deduced 142-amino acid protein and localizes on chromosome 17q25. The overexpression of it in cancer may overcome an apoptotic checkpoint and favour aberrant progression of transformed cells through mitosis. The standard product used in this kit is recombinant human Survivin with the molecular mass of 34 KDa.

Intra Assay Consistency & Inter Assay Consistency
We measured random samples of Human Survivin 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: what is the protocol regarding preparation of cell lysates prepared for use in Picokine® ELISA kits?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2020-09-03
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 have an affect on immunoreactivity, so if lysate is not a validated sample type, care must be taken in sample preparation and validation.

Question
Q: can you suggest the dilution ratio of serum samples for detection of Survivin in Human plasma? I am trying to measure a multiple 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.
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2019-08-27
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 Survivin 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.

Do you have any suggestions for using EK0641 on urine samples? neat vs. diluted, etc.?
Verified customer
Asked: 2019-06-06
Answer
Our lab technicains haven't worked on urine samples. Please dilute the sample at 1:1. Optimal dilution ratio should be decided by the customer after performing serial dilutions.

Question
Do you have any commercial PBS buffer that could be used for EK0641 kit?
Verified customer
Asked: 2019-05-15
Answer
Our Avidin-Biotin-Peroxidase Diluent contains the detergent (TWEEN) normally present in other companies' ELISA kits. This saves you the step of having to wash with the special wash buffer and achieve similar or better signal to noise ratio. You can still use wash buffers if you wish. Most commercial PBS buffers would work for our kit (TBS can be used as well). You can compare the formulation of the commercial buffer to our buffer preparation: Preparation of 0.01M TBS: Add 1.2g Tris, 8.5g NaCl; 450μl of purified acetic acid or 700μl of concentrated hydrochloric acid to 1000ml H2 Preparation of 0.01 M PBS: Add 8.5g sodium chloride, 1.4g Na O and adjust pH to 7.2-7.

Question
Q: for how much duration can samples (cell cultures, serum, and plasma) be stored and still be stable for measurement Survivin using the EK0641 Human Survivin Picokine® ELISA Kit?
L. Hernandez
Verified customer
Asked: 2018-12-07
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 on-stat collection when possible, or aliquot into single use volumes and store samples frozen. avoid repeat freeze-thaw cycles with the stored samples to prevent protein degradation.

Question
Q: how many samples can be assayed in a Picokine® ELISA Kit?
J. Kapoor
Verified customer
Asked: 2018-09-29
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 can I thaw whole blood sample for Survivin ELISA after freezing?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2018-09-27
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 Survivin for a later time, you should let the blood clot in glass tubes and separate the serum to freeze for later analysis.

Question
Q: Can Survivin ELISA Kits be used with tissue homogenates (or other non-validated sample types)?
J. Brown
Verified customer
Asked: 2018-05-17
Answer
A: Unfortunately, Boster Bio has not routinely validated tissue homogenates as a sample type for ELISA kits. This does not mean that ELISA kits are not valid for other sample types than we have tested: it means further investigation is needed. One will need to perform a spike and recovery study to determine if an unvalidated sample type will work with a particular kit. To perform a spike and recovery experiment, one should divide a sample into two aliquots. In one of the aliquots, the user should spike in a known amount of the kit standard. a dilution series is performed comparing the spiked versus the unspiked sample. Generally, samples with expected recovery and linearity between 80-120% are considered acceptable. This method can be used to validate any sample type that has not been assessd by Boster Bio. for a more detailed spike and recovery protocol, please contact technical support.
Note: acceptable ranges should be determined individually by each laboratory. Additionally, technical support can help determine if a buffer component is not compatible with a given ELISA kit. please check the Citations tab on the product webpage for peer-reviewed papers utilizing a wide range of sample types. We also have an innovator's reward program where if the user validates our ELISA kits in applications or samples previously not validated by Boster Bio or other users, and share such information with us by submit a review, we will reward the user's efforts with a free antibody or ELISA kit from our catalog.

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: can I use citrate plasma as samples in Human Survivin Picokine® ELISA Kit (Catalog # EK0641)?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2014-01-18
Answer
A: Chelating agents such as EDTA, Heparin and Citrate can bind metal ions from the functional domain of Survivin causing degradation of its protein structure. Survivin 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 Survivin 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.
