Background of SOST/Sclerostin

Sclerostin is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SOST gene. Sclerostin is a secreted glycoprotein with a C-terminal cysteine knot-like (CTCK) domain and sequence similarity to the DAN (differential screening-selected gene aberrative in neuroblastoma) family of bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) antagonists. Sclerostin is produced by the osteocyte and has anti-anabolic effects on bone formation. The SOST gene maps to chromosome 17q12-q21

9 Customer Q&As for Mouse Sclerostin/SOST ELISA Kit PicoKine®

Question

Q: is it okay to use citrate plasma as samples in Mouse SOST Picokine® ELISA Kit (Catalog # EK1179)?

Verified Customer

Verified customer

Asked: 2020-10-31

Answer

A: Chelating agents such as EDTA, Heparin and Citrate can bind metal ions from the functional domain of SOST causing disruption of its protein structure. SOST 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 SOST 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: how many samples can be assayed in a Picokine® ELISA Kit?

Verified Customer

Verified customer

Asked: 2019-12-25

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: for how much duration can samples (cell cultures, serum, and plasma) be stored and still be stable for quantification SOST using the EK1179 Mouse SOST Picokine® ELISA Kit?

Z. Adams

Verified customer

Asked: 2018-05-25

Answer

A: Boster Bio does not assess sample stability. Variations in sample collection, processing, and storage may change the stabilityof samples. It is recommend to assay sample on-stat collection when possible, or aliquot into single use volumes and store samples frozen. limit repetitive freeze-thaw cycles with the stored samples to prevent protein degradation.

Question

Q: if the enzyme conjugated SOST 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 SOST antigen?

T. Clark

Verified customer

Asked: 2018-03-24

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: What is the optimal O.D. value for SOST ELISA kit? I used your SOST 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. can I consider these samples contain SOST even though the O.D. values are not very high?

Verified Customer

Verified customer

Asked: 2016-11-26

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. considering 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 proportion to your positive controls. normally, 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 SOST ELISA kit to have sensitivity of 10pg/ml, that means the minimum amount of SOST that can be declared/interpreted as positive by the above standard is 10pg/ml.

Question

Q: how to thaw whole blood sample for SOST ELISA after freezing?

G. Banerjee

Verified customer

Asked: 2016-05-02

Answer

A: we do not recommend freezing 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 SOST for a later time, you should let the blood clot in glass tubes and separate the serum to freeze for later analysis.

Question

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

Verified Customer

Verified customer

Asked: 2014-07-18

Answer

A: for 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.
