Background of Galectin-1
Galectin-1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the LGALS1 gene. The galectins are a family of beta-galactoside-binding proteins implicated in modulating cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions. Galectin-1 may act as an autocrine negative growth factor that regulates cell proliferation. Its expression in Hodgkin Lymphoma has also been shown to mediate immunosuppression of CD8+ T-cells. Additionally, Galectin-1 is thought to play a role in creating immune tolerance in pregnancy.

Intra Assay Consistency & Inter Assay Consistency
We measured random samples of Rat Galectin-1 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.

8 Customer Q&As for Rat Galectin-1 ELISA Kit PicoKine®
Question
Q: is it okay to use citrate plasma as samples in Rat Galectin-1 Picokine® ELISA Kit (Catalog # EK1589)?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2020-10-07
Answer
A: Chelating agents such as EDTA, Heparin and Citrate can bind metal ions from the functional domain of Galectin-1 causing disruption of its protein structure. Galectin-1 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 Galectin-1 ELISA, treating samples with a number of 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: Can Galectin-1 ELISA Kits be used with tissue homogenates (or other non-validated sample types)?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2020-09-10
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 needed. 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 evaluated 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: if the enzyme conjugated Galectin-1 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 Galectin-1 antigen?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2019-07-21
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: how much samples can be assayed in a Picokine® ELISA Kit?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2019-06-24
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: for how much duration can samples (cell cultures, serum, and plasma) be stored and still be stable for measurement Galectin-1 using the EK1589 Rat Galectin-1 Picokine® ELISA Kit?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2019-04-30
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 on-stat collection when possible, or aliquot into single use volumes and store samples frozen. avoid repeat freeze-thaw cycles with the stored samples to avoid protein degradation.

Question
Q: how can I thaw whole blood sample for Galectin-1 ELISA after freezing?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2016-08-19
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 Galectin-1 for a later time, you should let the blood clot in glass tubes and separate the serum to freeze for later analysis.
