Background of TFF3
Trefoil factor 3 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TFF3 gene. It is mapped to 21q22.3. Members of the trefoil family can interact with mucins and have an influence on mucus viscosity. They also promote migration of epithelial cells, are linked to antiapoptosis, induce cell scattering, trigger chemotaxis, and participate in immune responses. This gene is a marker of columnar epithelium and is expressed in a variety of tissues including goblet cells of the intestines and colon. It has been found that TFF3 is the most highly upregulated gene in 19 poorly differentiated endometrioid endometrial carcinomas (G3-EECs) compared with normal endometrium biopsies.

Question
Q: Can TFF3 ELISA Kits be used with tissue homogenates (or other non-validated sample types)?
S. Krishna
Verified customer
Asked: 2020-05-23
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 suitable for other sample types than we have tested: it means further investigation is required. 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. Biocompare.com will also give $20 Amazon giftcard as an additional reward, if the review is submitted there as well.

Question
Q: is it okay to use citrate plasma as samples in Human TFF3 Picokine® ELISA Kit (Catalog # EK1234)?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2020-05-01
Answer
A: Chelating agents such as EDTA, Heparin and Citrate can sequester metal ions from the functional domain of TFF3 causing degradation of its protein structure. TFF3 may be denatured as a result and may compromise the assay's measurements. The chilating sites could also be too close to the epitopes a must for detection and block the antigen antibody reaction. We have tested the TFF3 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: how many samples can be assayed in a Picokine® ELISA Kit?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2020-02-10
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: Are Boster Bio recombinant proteins and antibodies sterile?
A. Green
Verified customer
Asked: 2019-03-25
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
Q: how can I thaw whole blood sample for TFF3 ELISA after freezing?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2017-12-02
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 TFF3 for a later time, you should let the blood clot in glass tubes and separate the serum to freeze for later analysis.

Question
Q: if the enzyme conjugated TFF3 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 TFF3 antigen?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2017-10-19
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 you recommend the dilution ratio of serum samples for detection of TFF3 in Human saliva? I am trying to measure a a number of 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: 2014-10-06
Answer
A: without having an understanding 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 TFF3 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.
