Background of SCF/c-kit Ligand
Stem Cell Factor (also known as SCF, kit-ligand, KL, or steel factor) is a cytokine that binds to the c-Kit receptor (CD117). It is mapped to 12q21.32. SCF was primarily expressed by perivascular cells throughout the bone marrow, and it plays a role in the regulation of HSCs in the stem cell niche in the bone marrow. SCF can exist both as a transmembrane protein and a soluble protein. This gene plays an important role in the hematopoiesis during embryonic development. During development, the presence of the SCF also plays an important role in the localization of melanocytes, cells that produce melanin and control pigmentation. In addition to it, SCF can promote mast cell adhesion, migration, proliferation, and survival. It also promotes the release of histamine and tryptase, which are involved in the allergic response.

Intra Assay Consistency & Inter Assay Consistency
We measured random samples of Rat SCF/KITLG/Kit ligand 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: how can I thaw whole blood sample for SCF ELISA after freezing?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2020-09-28
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 SCF for a later time, you should let the blood clot in glass tubes and separate the serum to freeze for later analysis.

Question
Q: can I use heparin plasma as samples in Rat SCF Picokine® ELISA Kit (Catalog # EK0508)?
S. Anand
Verified customer
Asked: 2020-01-01
Answer
A: Chelating agents such as EDTA, Heparin and Citrate can bind metal ions from the functional domain of SCF causing disruption of its protein structure. SCF 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 SCF ELISA, treating samples with various anticoagulants and decided that EDTA can be used for treatment of blood/plasma samples. Do not use other anticoagulents when collecting samples.

Question
Q: What is the optimal O.D. value for SCF ELISA kit? I performed your SCF 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 SCF even though the O.D. values are not very high?
C. Perez
Verified customer
Asked: 2018-12-18
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. a point of focus should be is whether your sample O.D. values are statistically significantly higher than your blank values. in your 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 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 SCF ELISA kit to have sensitivity of 10pg/ml, that means the minimum amount of SCF that can be declared/interpreted as positive by the above standard is 10pg/ml.

Question
Q: how much samples can be assayed in a Picokine® ELISA Kit?
C. Hill
Verified customer
Asked: 2018-03-14
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.
