    Reproducibility: The inter-assay and intra-assay reproducibility were determined for the BD CBA Mouse TNF Flex Set by evaluating ten replicates of three different sample levels (inter-assay) and two replicates of three different sample levels from four separate experiments (intra-assay) respectively.
    Mouse TNF Flex Set
    Recovery:        Cell culture supernatant and pooled mouse serum were spiked with three different levels of protein. The spiked samples were assayed and the results were compared with expected values. Serum samples were diluted 1:4 before the protein was spiked into each. Serum used was commercially available pooled mouse serum.

    Linearity: Cell culture supernatant and 1:4 diluted pooled mouse serum were spiked with protein and serially diluted. The diluted samples were assayed and the results were compared with the original spiked sample.

    Description

    The BD™ CBA Mouse TNF Flex Set is a bead-based immunoassay capable of measuring mouse tumor necrosis factor (TNF) in serum and cell culture supernatant samples. Mouse and rat reactivity was determined by testing samples with the BD CBA Mouse TNF Flex Set. For quantitation of rat TNF, we recommend the BD™ CBA Rat TNF Flex Set (Cat. No. 558309).  For more information on bead-based immunoassays, refer to the product insert for the BD CBA Mouse/Rat Soluble Protein Master Buffer Kit (Cat. No. 558266 or 558267).

    Preparation And Storage

    This BD™ CBA Flex Set contains one vial each of Capture Bead and PE Detection Reagent and two vials of Standard. The Capture Bead and PE Detection Reagent components of this flex set have been formulated to a 50x concentration to ensure product performance when multiplexed. The Standard component is lyophilized and should be transferred to a 15 mL polypropylene tube for reconstitution. When reconstituted in 4.0 mL Assay Diluent, the standard has a protein concentration of 2,500 pg/mL. Discard unused reconstituted standard, do not store or reuse. Store lyophilized standard and other components at 4°C. Protect Capture Beads and the PE Detection Reagent from prolonged exposure to light.

    Recommended Assay Procedures

    The BD CBA Mouse TNF Flex Set must be used in conjunction with a BD CBA Mouse/Rat Soluble Protein Master Buffer Kit (Cat. No. 558266, 100 tests, or 558267, 500 tests), a flow cytometer, and FCAP Array™ Software.  Detailed instructions on the use of this product can be found in the manual for the BD CBA Mouse/Rat Soluble Protein Master Buffer Kit. When following the directions in the Master Buffer Kit, the top standard point for the BD CBA Mouse TNF Flex Set will be 2,500 pg/mL. An example standard curve is shown in figure 1.

    The BD CBA Mouse TNF Flex Set should not be used in the same assay well with any non-BD CBA Mouse Soluble Protein Flex Set reagents (such as BD CBA Human or Rat Soluble Protein or Cell Signaling Flex Sets). For an updated assay compatibility chart for the BD CBA Mouse Soluble Protein Flex Sets, please refer to the BD CBA Flex Set System homepage at http://www.bdbiosciences.com/cbasetup.

    Performance

    Limit of Detection: The theoretical limit of detection is 2.8 pg/mL and was determined by evaluating the estimated result of the average MFI of the negative control (0 pg/mL, n=30) + 2 standard deviations.
