Principle of the Assay: This kit was based on sandwich enzyme-linked immune-sorbent assay technology. Anti-PDGF-AB polyclonal antibody was pre-coated onto 96-well plates. And the biotin conjugated anti-PDGF-AB polyclonal antibody was used as detection antibodies. The standards, test samples and biotin conjugated detection antibody were added to the wells subsequently, and wash with wash buffer. Avidin-Biotin-Peroxidase Complex was added and unbound conjugates were washed away with wash buffer. TMB substrates were used to visualize HRP enzymatic reaction. TMB was catalyzed by HRP to produce a blue color product that changed into yellow after adding acidic stop solution. The density of yellow is proportional to the PDGF-AB amount of sample captured in plate. Read the O.D. absorbance at 450nm in a microplate reader, and then the concentration of PDGF-AB can be calculated!!Background/Introduction: Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) was one of the first growth factors characterized. and also a potent mitogen for cells of mesenchymal origin, including smooth muscle cells and glial cells. It regulates cell growth and division, In particular, it plays a significant role in blood vessel formation (angiogenesis). It is produced by a plethora of cells, and synthesized, stored, released by platelets upon activation. In chemical terms, PSGF is dimeric glycoprotein composed of two A (-AA) or two B (-BB) chains or a combination of the two (-AB). It is found that initial PDGF-AB interaction with the alpha PDGFR induces conformational changes in the ligand or receptor that facilitates efficient recruitment of beta PDGFR by this PDGF isoform.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes a growth factor found in placenta which is homologous to vascular endothelial growth factor. Alternatively spliced transcripts encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Jun 2011]
Uniprot Description
PGF: Growth factor active in angiogenesis and endothelial cell growth, stimulating their proliferation and migration. It binds to the receptor FLT1/VEGFR-1. Isoform PlGF-2 binds NRP1/neuropilin-1 and NRP2/neuropilin-2 in a heparin-dependent manner. Also promotes cell tumor growth. Belongs to the PDGF/VEGF growth factor family. 3 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.

Product Notes
The Human PLGF pgf (Catalog #AAA494813) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA494813 ELISA Kit recognizes Human PLGF. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "PLGF, ELISA Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
