Product Summary

The Quantikine™ QuicKit™ Human GDF-15 Immunoassay is a one step, 80-minute solid phase ELISA designed to measure human GDF-15 levels in cell culture supernates, serum, plasma, and urine. It contains CHO cell-expressed recombinant human GDF-15 and antibodies raised against the recombinant protein. Results obtained using natural human GDF-15 showed linear curves that were parallel to the standard curves obtained using the QuicKit standards. These results indicate that this kit can be used to determine relative mass values for natural human GDF-15.

Precision

Intra-Assay Precision (Precision within an assay) Two samples of known concentration were tested twenty times on one plate to assess intra-assay precision
Inter-Assay Precision (Precision between assays) Two samples of known concentration were tested in ten separate assays to assess inter-assay precision. Assays were performed by at least three technicians

Recovery

The recovery of human GDF-15 spiked to three levels in samples throughout the range of the assay was evaluated.

Sample Type Average % Recovery Range %
Cell Culture Media (n=4) 101 92-113
EDTA Plasma (n=2) 74 66-83
Heparin Plasma (n=2) 77 66-93
Serum (n=2) 77 66-84
Urine (n=2) 104 94-116

Linearity

To assess the linearity of the assay, samples containing and/or spiked with high concentrations of human GDF-15 were diluted with calibrator diluent to produce samples with values within the dynamic range of the assay.

Background: GDF-15

Growth/differentiation factors (GDF-1 to GDF-15) are members of the BMP family of TGF-beta superfamily proteins. They are produced as inactive preproproteins which are then cleaved and assembled into active secreted homodimers. GDF dimers are disulfide-linked with the exception of GDF-3 and -9. GDF proteins are important during embryonic development, particularly in the skeletal, nervous, and muscular systems.
