Product Summary for Human KGF/FGF-7 Quantikine ELISA Kit

The Quantikine Human KGF Immunoassay is a 5.25 or 5.5 hour solid phase ELISA designed to measure KGF in cell culture supernates, serum, and plasma. It contains E. coli-expressed recombinant human KGF and antibodies raised against the recombinant factor. This immunoassay has been shown to quantitate the recombinant KGF accurately. Results obtained measuring natural human KGF showed dose-response curves that were parallel to the standard curves obtained using the recombinant Quantikine kit standards. These results indicate that this kit can be used to determine relative mass values for natural human KGF.

Recovery for Human KGF/FGF-7 Quantikine ELISA Kit

The recovery of KGF spiked to three different levels throughout the range of the assay in various matrices was evaluated.

Sample Type Average % Recovery Range %
Cell Culture Media (n=5) 102 95-105
Citrate Plasma (n=5) 91 86-98
EDTA Plasma (n=5) 96 85-104
Heparin Plasma (n=5) 90 85-99
Serum (n=5) 93 85-100

Linearity

To assess the linearity of the assay, five samples were spiked with high concentrations of KGF in various matrices and diluted with the appropriate Calibrator Diluent to produce samples with values within the dynamic range of the assay.

Background: KGF/FGF-7

KGF (keratinocyte growth factor), also known as FGF-7, is induced in mesenchymal cells by inflammation or tissue damage. It functions as a paracrine factor during wound healing by inducing the proliferation of nearby epithelial cells. KGF plays a role in kidney morphogenesis, hair follicle development, and keratinocyte differentiation. It signals only through the IIIb splice form of the tyrosine kinase receptor, FGF R2 (IIIb)/KGF R.

Long Name

Keratinocyte Growth Factor

Alternate Names

FGF-7, FGF7, HBGF-7, HBGF7

Entrez Gene IDs
