This ELISA kit provides quantitative measurement of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) in human samples, supporting research into GH/IGF-1 axis signaling, metabolic regulation, and cell proliferation pathways. Because circulating IGF-1 levels vary substantially with age, nutritional status, and disease state — and most IGF-1 is carrier-protein-bound — this kit is designed to address the specific challenges of accurate IGF-1 quantification across diverse experimental contexts.
Detection Range: The 1.25–80 ng/ml range covers the expected concentrations in diluted serum and plasma, where total IGF-1 typically falls between 100–400 ng/ml in healthy adults. Researchers should plan for 5- to 10-fold sample dilutions, while undiluted cell culture supernatants and tissue homogenates generally fall within range without adjustment.
Sensitivity: At 0.312 ng/ml, the kit detects IGF-1 in conditioned media from hepatocyte or fibroblast cultures where autocrine/paracrine secretion yields low nanogram-level concentrations, and in tissue lysates from small biopsy specimens.
Sample Compatibility: Validation across serum, plasma, cell culture supernatants, and tissue homogenates enables researchers to correlate systemic IGF-1 levels with local tissue expression and in vitro secretion data within a single study framework.
Assay Efficiency: The 1–5 hour protocol using 50–100 µl sample volumes accommodates studies involving pediatric sera, primary cell-conditioned media, or longitudinal cohort designs where sample availability is limited.
This kit is particularly suited for studies in growth disorders, hepatocellular carcinoma progression, and age-related IGF-1 decline.
