Hepatocyte growth factor - mouse (Hgf)
Links to databases
Potent mitogen for mature parenchymal hepatocyte cells, seems to be a hepatotrophic factor, and acts as a growth factor for a broad spectrum of tissues and cell types. Activating ligand for the receptor tyrosine kinase MET by binding to it and promoting its dimerization.
Sample type
Recommended sample types are EDTA plasma and serum. A range of additional sample types are compatible with the technology (PEA), including citrate plasma, heparin plasma, cerebrospinal fluid, (CSF), tissue and cell lysates, fine needle biopsis, microdialysis fluid, cell culture media, dried blood spots, synovial fluid, saliva, plaque extract and microvesicles. Please note that protein expression levels are expected to vary in different sample types. Certain assays are differentially affected by interfering substances such as hemolysate.

Detectability in different mouse sample matrices

The figure above shows the overall detectability of the specified assay in a range of different mouse sample types. Detectability in each sample matrix is presented as the mean % of all samples included in the validation studies that could be measured above the limit of detection (LOD).
Dilution of samples may be necessary for some sample matrices other than plasma or serum to achieve optimal assay performance – the data shown above represents the values obtained at the optimal dilution identified in each case. Details regarding possible dilutions should be discussed with your Olink representative prior to commencing the study. The data is compiled from multiple studies comprising a range of healthy and disease samples, including samples from genetically modified mouse lines in some cases.
(Note: CSF = cerebrospinal fluid; BAL = bronchoalveolar lavage).
Precision
-
- Within run precision Coefficient of Variation (CV)
- 6%
-
- Between run precision Coefficient of Variation (CV)
- 10%
Precision (repeatability) is calculated from linearized NPX values over LOD.
