HGF (Hepatocyte Growth Factor, Scatter Factor) induces the proliferation and migration of epithelial cells, hepatocytes, chondrocytes, keratinocytes, melanocytes, endothelial cells, and many tumor cells. During organogenesis and tissue repair, HGF promotes epithelial/endothelial morphogenesis by inducing cell scattering and branching tubulogenesis. It also supports insulin production by pancreatic beta cells, neuronal survival, and immune tolerance. HGF is secreted as a propeptide that is activated by uPA or HGF Activator at sites of tissue damage. Its signaling through the receptor HGF R/c-MET is enhanced by its prior binding to heparan sulfate proteoglycans. The serum levels of HGF are elevated in a wide range of pathologies including liver damage, acute kidney failure, myocardial infarction, type 1 diabetes, obesity, and cancer, as well as in the synovial fluid of rheumatoid arthritis patients.

Precision
Intra-Assay Precision (Precision within an assay) Three samples of known concentration were tested twenty times on one plate to assess intra-assay precision.
Inter-Assay Precision (Precision between assays) Three samples of known concentration were tested in twenty separate assays to assess inter-assay precision. Assays were performed by at least three technicians using two lots of components.
Cell Culture Supernates, Citrate Plasma, EDTA Plasma, Heparin Plasma, Serum

Recovery for Human HGF Quantikine ELISA Kit
The recovery of human HGF 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=4) | 107 | 101-118 |
| Citrate Plasma (n=4) | 102 | 91-115 |
| EDTA Plasma (n=4) | 104 | 95-114 |
| Heparin Plasma (n=4) | 113 | 96-125 |
| Serum (n=4) | 104 | 94-115 |
Linearity
To assess the linearity of the assay, samples containing and/or spiked with high concentrations of human HGF were diluted with calibrator diluent to produce samples with values within the dynamic range of the assay.

Sample Tested: Cell culture supernatantVerified Customer | Posted 05/15/2023This ELISA kit is straightforward and reliable. Sometimes there are precipitates in the wash buffer that will not fully dissolve unless the bottle is first incubated at 37C in bead/water bath. works great for cell culture supernatants
