Background of GAS6
GAS6 (Growth arrest-specific 6), also known as AXLLG or AXSF, is a human gene coding for the Gas6 protein. It is mapped to 13q34. GAS6 was originally found as a gene upregulated by growth arrested fibroblasts. This gene product is a gamma-carboxyglutamic acid (Gla)-containing protein which thought to be involved in the stimulation of cell proliferation, and may play a role in thrombosis. What's more, the product of the GAS6 gene, a ligand for the AXL, MER, and TYRO3 tyrosine kinase receptors, is a vitamin K-dependent protein, structurally related to anticoagulant protein S but lacking its anticoagulant activity. This protein also shows great importance in the cardiovascular system.

Question
Q: Can GAS6 ELISA Kits be used with tissue homogenates (or other non-validated sample types)?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2020-11-27
Answer
A: Unfortunately, Boster Bio has not routinely validated tissue homogenates as a sample type for ELISA kits. This does not mean that ELISA kits are not suitable for other sample types than we have tested: it means further investigation is required. One will need to perform a spike and recovery study to determine if an unvalidated sample type will work with a particular kit. To perform a spike and recovery experiment, one should divide a sample into two aliquots. In one of the aliquots, the user should spike in a known amount of the kit standard. a dilution series is performed comparing the spiked versus the unspiked sample. Generally, samples with expected recovery and linearity between 80-120% are considered acceptable. This method can be used to validate any sample type that has not been evaluated by Boster Bio. for a more detailed spike and recovery protocol, please contact technical support.
Note: acceptable ranges should be determined individually by each laboratory. Additionally, technical support can help determine if a buffer component is not compatible with a given ELISA kit. please view the Citations tab on the product webpage for peer-reviewed papers utilizing a wide range of sample types. We also have an innovator's reward program where if the user validates our ELISA kits in applications or samples previously not validated by Boster Bio or other users, and share such information with us by submit a review, we will reward the user's efforts with a free antibody or ELISA kit from our catalog. Biocompare.com will also give $20 Amazon giftcard as an additional reward, if the review is submitted there as well.

Question
Q: can you suggest the dilution ratio of serum samples for detection of GAS6 in Mouse serum? I am trying to measure a few analytes and it requires 100ul of diluted samples for each well. We have low serum volumes so we like to dilute as much as possible.
T. Surve
Verified customer
Asked: 2018-12-13
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 much samples can be assayed in a Picokine® ELISA Kit?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2017-03-11
Answer
A: The Picokine® ELISA Kits will generally run a 7-point standard curve, non-specific binding wells, and 39 samples in duplicate. this may vary slightly by kit so please refer to each datasheet for details.

Question
Q: if the enzyme conjugated GAS6 antibodies are mixed with the substrate, will that change 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: 2017-03-03
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: can I use citrate plasma as samples in Mouse GAS6 Picokine® ELISA Kit (Catalog # EK1196)?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2015-02-24
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 required for detection and block the antigen antibody reaction. We have tested the GAS6 ELISA, treating samples with various anticoagulants and decided that heparin or EDTA can be used for treatment of blood/plasma samples. Do not use other anticoagulents when collecting samples.
