The Quantikine Mouse G-CSF Immunoassay is a 4.5 hour solid phase ELISA designed to measure mouse G-CSF in cell culture supernates and serum. It contains E. coli-expressed recombinant mouse G-CSF and antibodies raised against the recombinant factor. This immunoassay has been shown to quantitate the recombinant mouse G-CSF accurately. Results obtained using natural mouse G-CSF 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 mouse G-CSF.

Intra-Assay Precision (Precision within an assay) Three samples of known concentration were tested on one plate to assess intra-assay precision

Inter-Assay Precision (Precision between assays) Three samples of known concentration were tested in separate assays to assess inter-assay precision

The recovery of mouse G-CSF spiked to three levels throughout the range of the assay in various matrices was evaluated.

To assess the linearity of the assay, five or more samples containing and/or spiked with various concentrations of mouse G-CSF in each matrix were diluted with Calibrator Diluent and then assayed.
