| DAO

Diamine oxidase (DAO), also known "amine oxidase, copper-containing, 1" (AOC1), is an enzyme involved in the metabolism, oxidation, and inactivation of histamine and other polyamines such as putrescine or spermidine. The enzyme belongs to the amine oxidase (copper-containing) (AOC) family of amine oxidase enzymes. In placental mammals, including humans, the highest levels of DAO expression are observed in the digestive tract (intestinal mucosa) and the placenta. DAO expression is also observed in kidney of various species.
 

| Typical data

As the OD values of the standard curve may vary according to the conditions of the actual assay performance (e.g. operator, pipetting technique, wash technique or temperature effects), the operator should establish a standard curve for each test. Typical standard curve and data are provided below for reference only.

 

Concentration (ng/mL)	200	100	50	25	12.5	6.25	3.12	0
OD	2.48	1.65	1.07	0.71	0.45	0.28	0.19	0.09
Corrected OD	2.39	1.56	0.98	0.62	0.36	0.19	0.1	-

 

| Repeatability

Intra-assay Precision (Precision within an assay)：CV% < 10%; Inter-assay Precision (Precision between assays)：CV% < 10%
 

| Recovery

The recovery of Rat DAO spiked at three different levels in samples throughout the range of the assay was evaluated in various matrices.

 

Sample Type	Range(%)	Average Recovery(%)
Serum(n=8)	84-101	96
Plasma(n=8)	92-105	102
Cell Lysates(n=8)	96-108	105

 

| Linearity

Samples were spiked with high concentrations of Rat DAO and diluted with Universal Diluent to produce samples with values within the range of the assay.

 

		Serum(n=4)	Plasma(n=4)	Cell Lysates(n=4)
1 : 2	Range (%)	84-95	88-96	89-110
	Average (%)	91	93	96
1 : 4	Range (%)	89-102	87-108	105-115
	Average (%)	94	98	108
