Background of GAS6
Growth arrest-specific 6, also known as GAS6, is a human gene coding for the Gas6 protein. It is mapped to 13q34. This gene encodes a gamma-carboxyglutamic acid (Gla)-containing protein thought to be involved in the stimulation of cell proliferation. This gene is frequently overexpressed in many cancers and has been implicated as an adverse prognostic marker. Elevated protein levels are additionally associated with a variety of disease states, including venous thromboembolic disease, systemic lupus erythematosus, chronic renal failure, and preeclampsia. Gas6 is a gamma-carboxyglutamic acid (Gla) domain-containing protein thought to be involved in the stimulation of cell proliferation.

5 Customer Q&As for Human GAS6 ELISA Kit PicoKine®
Question
Q: if the enzyme conjugated GAS6 antibodies are mixed with the substrate, will that convert the substrate into the enzymatic reaction product? Or the enzyme function is only activated when the antibody is attached with the GAS6 antigen?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2020-09-14
Answer
A: The enzyme is always active. Avoid contaminating the substrate with enzyme prior to the incubation otherwise it compromises the assay with false positive signal.

Question
Q: is it okay to use citrate plasma as samples in Human GAS6 Picokine® ELISA Kit (Catalog # EK1992)?
C. Edwards
Verified customer
Asked: 2020-04-22
Answer
A: Chelating agents such as EDTA, Heparin and Citrate can irreversibly bind metal ions from the functional domain of GAS6 causing degradation of its protein structure. GAS6 may be denatured as a result and may compromise the assay's measurements. The chilating sites could also be too close to the epitopes needed for detection and block the antigen antibody reaction. We have tested the GAS6 ELISA, treating samples with different anticoagulants and decided that heparin or EDTA can be used for treatment of blood/plasma samples. Do not use other anticoagulents when collecting samples.

Question
Q: we need your suggestion regarding the dilution ratio of serum samples for detection of GAS6 in Human plasma? I am trying to measure a few analytes and it requires 100ul of diluted samples for each well. We have limited sample volumes so we like to dilute as much as possible.
B. Hall
Verified customer
Asked: 2019-05-27
Answer
A: without knowing the physiological or pathological context of your samples we cannot recommend a dilution ratio without performing a pilot test with your samples. Here is how you can perform a pilot study on your own: perform a serial dilution of your samples on the GAS6 ELISA kit to make sure you have a linear ascending curve followed by a plateau, which signifies the samples saturating the detection limit of the kit. Then you can pick the dilution ratios from samples in the linear part of the curve as your experimental dilution ratio.
If you are interested in using our ELISA service, you can also send us your sample and we will take care of everything for you. You can check our service details here: bosterbio.com/services/assay-services/ELISA-testing-service
Since you mentioned you have limited samples, our cost effective multiplex ELISA service would fit perfectly for your needs, where we can generate dozens of data points using as little as 25ul sample volume. Information on this service is also in the above link.

Question
Q: how to thaw whole blood sample for GAS6 ELISA after freezing?
S. Campbell
Verified customer
Asked: 2016-12-17
Answer
A: do not freeze and thaw whole blood. erythrocytes are fragile and, if frozen and thawed, will undergo hemolysis rendering the samples useless. To keep your blood samples to test GAS6 for a later time, you should let the blood clot in glass tubes and separate the serum to freeze for later analysis.

Question
Q: What is the optimal O.D. value for GAS6 ELISA kit? I used your GAS6 ELISA on serum samples. For my positive control, I received an O.D. value of 0.826, while my negative control received a value of 0.136. I obtained both of these controls from the ELISA kit, where your kit's typical data shows O.D. values much higher than my positive control and your background is lower. My samples O.D. values are around 0.225 and the highest is only 0.357. is it safe to say these samples contain GAS6 even though the O.D. values are not very high?
D. Jha
Verified customer
Asked: 2016-08-30
Answer
A: The absolute O.D. values may change according to incubation time. The more you incubate the higher the O.D. values are going to be. a point of focus should be is whether your sample O.D. values are statistically significantly higher than your blank values. regarding your assay, you could extend your development time in the substrate incubation step to obtain higher O.D. values, as long as your negative controls' O.D. values are not increasing faster in relation to your positive controls. typically, a sample with O.D. value 2 standard deviations higher than your negative controls can be considered positive. We calculate the sensitivity of this ELISA kit by changeing cutoff O.D. value, calculated as the average of 20 negative controls plus 2 standard deviations of the 20 negative controls, into a concentration. in other words, when we claim this GAS6 ELISA kit to have sensitivity of 10pg/ml, that means the minimum amount of GAS6 that can be declared/interpreted as positive by the above standard is 10pg/ml.
