Background of BMP-9

Growth differentiation factor 2 (GDF2) also known as bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)-9 is a secreted ligand of the TGF-beta (transforming growth factor-beta) superfamily of proteins. Ligands of this family bind various TGF-beta receptors leading to recruitment and activation of SMAD family transcription factors that regulate gene expression. The preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate each subunit of the disulfide-linked homodimer. This protein regulates cartilage and bone development, angiogenesis and differentiation of cholinergic central nervous system neurons. Homozygous null mice exhibit malformations of the vasculature and skeleton.

8 Customer Q&As for Mouse BMP-9 ELISA Kit PicoKine®

Question

Q: how are cell lysates prepared for use in Picokine® ELISA kits?

B. Zhao

Verified customer

Asked: 2020-03-06

Answer

A: in those Picokine® ELISAs where cell or tissue lysate is a validated sample type, sample preparation instructions for lysate are present in the product insert. Components in lysate and lysis buffer may affect immunoreactivity, so if lysate is not a validated sample type, care must be taken in sample preparation and validation.

Question

Q: how much samples can be assayed in a Picokine® ELISA Kit?

B. Kaur

Verified customer

Asked: 2020-02-03

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 depends upon the kit used so please refer to each datasheet for details.

Question

Q: for how much duration can samples (cell cultures, serum, and plasma) be stored and still be stable for quantification BMP-9 using the EK1610 Mouse BMP-9 Picokine® ELISA Kit?

Verified Customer

Verified customer

Asked: 2019-11-15

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 right after collection when possible, or aliquot into single use volumes and store samples frozen. avoid repetitive freeze-thaw cycles with the stored samples to prevent protein degradation.

Question

Q: What is the optimal O.D. value for BMP-9 ELISA kit? I performed your BMP-9 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 BMP-9 even though the O.D. values are not very high?

Verified Customer

Verified customer

Asked: 2019-09-23

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. an important assessment should be is whether your sample O.D. values are statistically significantly higher than your blank values. in the example mentioned, 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 proportion 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 BMP-9 ELISA kit to have sensitivity of 10pg/ml, that means the minimum amount of BMP-9 that can be declared/interpreted as positive by the above standard is 10pg/ml.

Question

Q: Are Boster Bio recombinant proteins and antibodies sterile?

R. Zhou

Verified customer

Asked: 2018-08-29

Answer

A: although the vials are bottled using aseptic techniques, heat-treated vials, and sterile stock solutions, they are not considered or guaranteed to be sterile. If sterile material is needed for an experiment, the material can be filtered through a 0.2 micron filter designed for use with biological fluids.

Question

Q: is it okay to use citrate plasma as samples in Mouse BMP-9 Picokine® ELISA Kit (Catalog # EK1610)?

R. Anderson

Verified customer

Asked: 2016-02-12

Answer

A: Chelating agents such as EDTA, Heparin and Citrate can bind metal ions from the functional domain of BMP-9 causing degradation of its protein structure. BMP-9 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 BMP-9 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.
