Background of COCO/DAND5
This gene encodes a member of the BMP (bone morphogenic protein) antagonist family. Like BMPs, BMP antagonists contain cystine knots and typically form homo- and heterodimers. The CAN (cerberus and dan) subfamily of BMP antagonists, to which this gene belongs, is characterized by a C-terminal cystine knot with an eight-membered ring. The antagonistic effect of the secreted protein encoded by this gene is likely due to its direct binding to BMP proteins. As an antagonist of BMP, this gene may play a role in regulating organogenesis, body patterning, and tissue differentiation. In mouse, this protein has been shown to bind Nodal and to inhibit the Nodal signaling pathway which patterns left/right body asymmetry.

9 Customer Q&As for Human DAND5/COCO ELISA Kit PicoKine®
Question
Q: for how much duration can samples (cell cultures, serum, and plasma) be stored and still be stable for measurement COCO using the EK1658 Human COCO Picokine® ELISA Kit?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2020-10-20
Answer
A: Boster Bio does not evaluate sample stability. Variations in sample collection, processing, and storage may affect the stabilityof samples. It is recommend to assay sample on-stat collection when possible, or aliquot into single use volumes and store samples frozen. avoid repeat freeze-thaw cycles with the stored samples to limit protein degradation.

Question
Q: if the enzyme conjugated COCO 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 COCO antigen?
C. Sunder
Verified customer
Asked: 2019-10-01
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: we need your suggestion regarding the dilution ratio of serum samples for detection of COCO in Human serum? I am trying to measure a few analytes and it requires 100ul of diluted samples for each well. We have low serum quantitys so we like to dilute as much as possible.
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2019-07-29
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 COCO 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: What is the optimal O.D. value for COCO ELISA kit? I performed your COCO 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 COCO even though the O.D. values are not very high?
G. Banerjee
Verified customer
Asked: 2019-07-04
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. what you should focus on is whether your sample O.D. values are statistically significantly higher than your blank values. in your example, 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 converting 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 COCO ELISA kit to have sensitivity of 10pg/ml, that means the minimum amount of COCO that can be declared/interpreted as positive by the above standard is 10pg/ml.

Question
Q: is it okay to use citrate plasma as samples in Human COCO Picokine® ELISA Kit (Catalog # EK1658)?
W. Dhar
Verified customer
Asked: 2019-01-23
Answer
A: Chelating agents such as EDTA, Heparin and Citrate can attach metal ions from the functional domain of COCO causing degradation of its protein structure. COCO 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 COCO ELISA, treating samples with a number of 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: how are cell lysates prepared for use in Picokine® ELISA kits?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2018-03-02
Answer
A: for those Picokine® ELISAs where cell or tissue lysate is a validated sample type, sample preparation instructions for lysate are included in the product insert. Components in lysate and lysis buffer can impact immunoreactivity, so if lysate is not a validated sample type, care must be taken in sample preparation and validation.
