Background of Thrombopoietin/THPO
Thrombopoietin (TPO) is also called megakaryocyte growth and development factor (MGDF). TPO, a lineage-specific cytokine affecting the proliferation and maturation of megakaryocytes from committed progenitor cells, is believed to be the major physiological regulator of circulating platelet levels. Human, dog, and mouse cDNAs for MGDF are highly conserved and encode open reading frames for proteins of 353, 352, and 356 amino acids, respectively, including predicted signal peptides. MGDF is a novel cytokine that regulates megakaryocyte development and is a ligand for the MPL receptor. The human MGDF gene has been mapped to chromosome 3q26.3. The standard product used in this kit is gene recombinant mouse TPO, consisting of 335 amino acids with the molecular mass of 35KDa. As a result of glycosylation, the molecular mass is 75KDa.

Question
Q: Are Boster Bio recombinant proteins and antibodies sterile?
T. Clark
Verified customer
Asked: 2020-03-08
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: for how much duration can samples (cell cultures, serum, and plasma) be stored and still be stable for measurement Thrombopoietin using the EK0517 Mouse Thrombopoietin Picokine® ELISA Kit?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2017-12-07
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. limit repetitive freeze-thaw cycles with the stored samples in order to limit protein degradation.

Question
Q: Can Thrombopoietin ELISA Kits be used with tissue homogenates (or other non-validated sample types)?
W. Patel
Verified customer
Asked: 2017-10-07
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 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 see 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: how can I thaw whole blood sample for Thrombopoietin ELISA after freezing?
W. Li
Verified customer
Asked: 2016-07-06
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 Thrombopoietin for a later time, you should let the blood clot in glass tubes and separate the serum to freeze for later analysis.
