Background of Leptin R
Leptin receptor (or Obese receptor, OBR) is a single membrane-spanning receptor most related to the gp130 signal-transducing component of the IL-6 receptor, the G-CSF receptor, and the LIF receptor. OB-R mRNA is expressed not only in choroid plexus, but also in several other tissues, including hypothalamus. Leptin acts through the leptin receptor, a single-transmembrane domain receptor of the cytokine-receptor family. Leptin controls energy balance and food intake through the leptin receptor in the hypothalamus of the brain, which suggests that some polymorphisms of the leptin receptor gene (LEPR) might contribute to obesity or obesity-related diseases. Leptin is also involved in the regulation of blood pressure through the leptin receptor.

Intra Assay Consistency & Inter Assay Consistency
We measured random samples of Mouse Leptin Receptor 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: we need your recommendation regarding the dilution ratio of serum samples for detection of Leptin R in Mouse plasma? 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.
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2020-05-11
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 Leptin R 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
I would like to ask if this EK0440 kit be used with blood samples. Thanks
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2018-03-30
Answer
The product EK0440 kit have been tested and validated to use with plasma, serum and cell culture supernatant samples. However, if you are using whole blood samples we would not recommend it since it may increase a chance of experiencing high background and interference.

Question
Q: if the enzyme conjugated Leptin R 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 Leptin R antigen?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2016-05-26
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: is it okay to use citrate plasma as samples in Mouse Leptin R Picokine® ELISA Kit (Catalog # EK0440)?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2016-05-23
Answer
A: Chelating agents such as EDTA, Heparin and Citrate can irreversibly bind metal ions from the functional domain of Leptin R causing degradation of its protein structure. Leptin R may be denatured as a result and may compromise the assay's measurements. The chilating sites could also be too close to the epitopes required for detection and block the antigen antibody reaction. We have tested the Leptin R 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: for how much duration can samples (cell cultures, serum, and plasma) be stored and still be stable for quantification Leptin R using the EK0440 Mouse Leptin R Picokine® ELISA Kit?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2015-09-06
Answer
A: Boster Bio does not evaluate 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: how can I thaw whole blood sample for Leptin R ELISA after freezing?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2015-07-07
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 Leptin R for a later time, you should let the blood clot in glass tubes and collect the serum to freeze for later use.

Question
For this antibody EK0440; what type of graph is required for the results of this kit?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2014-04-08
Answer
The reading results for this EK0440 kit used a log-log model as this type of plot will fit most data sets very well. But you can use any graphing model including linear regression, 4-parameter and 2-order polynomial. During the testing of this kit we plots the ELISA data using log-log, linear regression, AND 4-parameter and then choose the model that fits the data best.
