Company:

Boster Biological

Product Name:

Mouse Adiponectin PicoKine™ ELISA Kit

Catalog Number:

EK0596

I used this kit to quantify adiponectin adipokine in cell culture supernatant (3T3-L1 cells) and mouse serum (C57BL6 mice on control/ western diet). The goal was to check if western diet treatment reduced serum and tissue adiponectin levels.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Application

Adiponectin quantification and tissue and serum

Starting Material

Serum, tissue homogenate

Tips

Dilute tissue homogenate 1:100, use serum directly

Results Summary

The results were reasonable and reproducible. Although we had to use two different standard curves for high and low concentration estimations. Performing a standard curve with each sample helped.
