Background of Pentraxin 3/TSG-14
PTX3 (Pentraxin 3) is a member of the pentraxin superfamily. This super family characterized by cyclic multimeric structure. The PTX3 gene is mapped to 3q25.32. The predicted 381-amino acid PTX3 protein has homology to the pentraxin protein family. Significant levels of PTX3 were detected in plasma of neutropenic patients with systemic A. PTX3 is effective in preventing CMV infection and reactivation, as well as subsequent Aspergillus infection. PTX3 activates the classical pathway of complementactivation and facilitates pathogen recognition by macrophages and DCs.

Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2020-11-09
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: is it okay to use heparin plasma as samples in Mouse Pentraxin 3 Picokine® ELISA Kit (Catalog # EK0862)?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2020-06-30
Answer
A: Chelating agents such as EDTA, Heparin and Citrate can attach metal ions from the functional domain of Pentraxin 3 causing disruption of its protein structure. Pentraxin 3 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 Pentraxin 3 ELISA, treating samples with a number of anticoagulants and decided that EDTA can be used for treatment of blood/plasma samples. Do not use other anticoagulents when collecting samples.

Question
Q: how to thaw whole blood sample for Pentraxin 3 ELISA after freezing?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2019-07-17
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 Pentraxin 3 for a later time, you should let the blood clot in glass tubes and collect the serum to freeze for later use.

Question
Q: if the enzyme conjugated Pentraxin 3 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 Pentraxin 3 antigen?
B. Gonzalez
Verified customer
Asked: 2019-06-11
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: What is the optimal O.D. value for Pentraxin 3 ELISA kit? I performed your Pentraxin 3 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 Pentraxin 3 even though the O.D. values are not very high?
A. Thompson
Verified customer
Asked: 2018-04-16
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 example mentioned, 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 converting 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 Pentraxin 3 ELISA kit to have sensitivity of 10pg/ml, that means the minimum amount of Pentraxin 3 that can be declared/interpreted as positive by the above standard is 10pg/ml.

Question
Q: Are Boster Bio recombinant proteins and antibodies sterile?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2017-06-06
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.
