Product overview
Mouse FGF-21 ELISA Kit (ab212160) is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of FGF-21 protein in cell culture supernatant, cit plasma, edta plasma, hep plasma, and serum. It uses our proprietary SimpleStep ELISA® technology. Quantitate Mouse FGF-21 with 1.47 pg/ml sensitivity.
SimpleStep ELISA® technology employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody used to coat our SimpleStep ELISA® plates. This approach to sandwich ELISA allows the formation of the antibody-analyte sandwich complex in a single step, significantly reducing assay time. See the SimpleStep ELISA® protocol summary in the image section for further details. Our SimpleStep ELISA® technology provides several benefits:
- Single-wash protocol reduces assay time to 90 minutes or less
- High sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility from superior antibodies
- Fully validated in biological samples
- 96-wells plate breakable into 12 x 8 wells stripsA 384-well SimpleStep ELISA® microplate (ab203359) is available to use as an alternative to the 96-well microplate provided with SimpleStep ELISA® kits.
ASSAY SPECIFICITY This kit recognizes both native and recombinant mouse FGF-21 protein in serum, plasma, and cell culture supernatant samples only.INTERFERENCE Recombinant mouse FGF R3 and mouse FGF R4 were prepared at 50 ng/mL and 1 ng/mL and tested for interference. No interference with was observed.
SPECIES REACTIVITY This kit recognizes mouse FGF-21 protein.
Rat serum and plasma samples are not compatible with this kit. Other species reactivity was determined by measuring 100% serum samples of various species, interpolating the protein concentrations from the mouse standard curve, and expressing the interpolated concentrations as a percentage of the protein concentration in mouse serum assayed at the same dilution.

Notes
FGF-21 is a secreted protein, a member of a large FGF gene family. FGF-21 stimulates glucose uptake in differentiated adipocytes via the induction of glucose transporter SLC2A1/GLUT1 expression but not via SLC2A4/GLUT4 expression. FGF-21 activity probably requires the presence of KLB.

SimpleStep ELISA technology allows the formation of the antibody-antigen complex in one single step, reducing assay time to 90 minutes. Add samples or standards and antibody mix to wells all at once, incubate, wash, and add your final substrate. See protocol for a detailed step-by-step guide.

Interpolated concentrations of native FGF-21 in mouse serum and plasma samples.The concentrations of FGF-21 were measured in duplicates, interpolated from the FGF-21 standard curves and corrected for sample dilution. Undiluted samples are as follows: serum 100%, plasma (citrate) 100%, plasma (EDTA) 100%, and plasma (heparin) 50%. The interpolated dilution factor (to neat sample) corrected values are plotted (mean +/- SD, n=2). The mean FGF-21 concentration was determined to be 409 pg/mL in neat serum, 397 pg/mL in neat plasma (citrate), 358 pg/mL in neat plasma (EDTA), and 348 pg/mL in neat plasma (heparin).

Interpolated concentrations of native FGF-21 in untreated L-929 cell culture supernatant samples.The concentrations of FGF-21 were measured in duplicates, interpolated from the FGF-21 standard curves and corrected for sample dilution. Undiluted samples are as follows: L-929 cell culture supernatant 100%. The interpolated dilution factor corrected values are plotted (mean +/- SD, n=2). The mean FGF-21 concentration was determined to be 59 pg/mL in neat L-929 cell culture supernatant.

Interpolated concentrations of FGF-21 in normal female CD-1 mouse serum and pregnant female CD-1 mouse serum at day 18 of gestation.The concentrations of FGF-21 were measured in three different dilutions in duplicate and interpolated from the FGF-21 standard curve and corrected for sample dilution. The interpolated dilution factor corrected values are plotted in pg FGF-21 per mL of neat serum (mean +/- SD, n=3). FGF-21 concentration was determined to be 401 pg/mg in normal mouse serum, and 9,193 pg/mL in pregnant mouse serum.
-
Linearity of dilution.Linearity of dilution is determined based on interpolated values from the standard curve. Linearity of dilution defines a sample concentration interval in which interpolated target concentrations are directly proportional to sample dilution.
Native FGF-21 was measured in the following biological samples in a 2-fold dilution series. Sample dilutions are made in Sample Diluent NS.
