Background of TrkC
NTRK3 (Neurotrophic Tyrosine Kinase Receptor Type 3), also known as TRKC, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the NTRK3 gene. By PCR analysis of a somatic cell hybrid panel and by fluorescence in situ hybridization with the cDNA clone, it mapped the NTRK3 gene to 15q24-q25. TRKC, a member of the TRK family of tyrosine protein kinase genes. They found that TRKC is preferentially expressed in the brain; in situ hybridization studies showed transcripts in the hippocampus, cerebral cortex, and the granular cell layer of the cerebellum. By functional studies in HeLa cells, 5 miRNAs regulate the truncated form of NTRK3.

Intra Assay Consistency & Inter Assay Consistency
We measured random samples of Mouse TRKC 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: Are Boster Bio recombinant proteins and antibodies sterile?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2020-11-14
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: What is the optimal O.D. value for TrkC ELISA kit? I performed your TrkC 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. can I consider these samples contain TrkC even though the O.D. values are not very high?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2020-09-09
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 above example, 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 changeing 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 TrkC ELISA kit to have sensitivity of 10pg/ml, that means the minimum amount of TrkC that can be declared/interpreted as positive by the above standard is 10pg/ml.

Question
Q: what is the protocol regarding preparation of cell lysates prepared for use in Picokine® ELISA kits?
A. Jha
Verified customer
Asked: 2020-03-22
Answer
A: in 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 may impact immunoreactivity, so if lysate is not a validated sample type, care must be taken in sample preparation and validation.

Question
Q: how much samples can be assayed in a Picokine® ELISA Kit?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2020-03-16
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 might differ by kit so please refer to each datasheet for details.

Question
Q: for how much duration can samples (cell cultures, serum, and plasma) be stored and still be stable for analysis TrkC using the EK1659 Mouse TrkC Picokine® ELISA Kit?
P. Dayal
Verified customer
Asked: 2019-10-21
Answer
A: Boster Bio does not evaluate sample stability. Variations in sample collection, processing, and storage may affect the stabilityof samples. It is recommend to assay sample on priority basis collection when possible, or aliquot into single use volumes and store samples frozen. avoid repetitive freeze-thaw cycles with the stored samples to limit protein degradation.

Question
Q: if the enzyme conjugated TrkC 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 TrkC antigen?
D. Davis
Verified customer
Asked: 2016-03-03
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 heparin plasma as samples in Mouse TrkC Picokine® ELISA Kit (Catalog # EK1659)?
L. Roberts
Verified customer
Asked: 2016-01-29
Answer
A: Chelating agents such as EDTA, Heparin and Citrate can irreversibly bind metal ions from the functional domain of TrkC causing disruption of its protein structure. TrkC 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 TrkC ELISA, treating samples with different anticoagulants and decided that / can be used for treatment of blood/plasma samples. Do not use other anticoagulents when collecting samples.

Question
Q: can you recommend the dilution ratio of serum samples for detection of TrkC in Mouse cell lysates? 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: 2015-11-28
Answer
A: having little idea about 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 TrkC 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
