Principle of the Assay: PGF ELISA kit applies the competitive enzyme immunoassay technique utilizing a polyclonal anti-PGF antibody and an PGF-HRP conjugate. The assay sample and buffer are incubated together with PGF-HRP conjugate in pre-coated plate for one hour. After the incubation period, the wells are decanted and washed five times. The wells are then incubated with a substrate for HRP enzyme. The product of the enzyme-substrate reaction forms a blue colored complex. Finally, a stop solution is added to stop the reaction, which will then turn the solution yellow. The intensity of color is measured spectrophotometrically at 450nm in a microplate reader. The intensity of the color is inversely proportional to the PGF concentration since PGF from samples and PGF-HRP conjugate compete for the anti-PGF antibody binding site. Since the number of sites is limited, as more sites are occupied by PGF from the sample, fewer sites are left to bind PGF-HRP conjugate. A standard curve is plotted relating the intensity of the color (O.D.) to the concentration of standards. The PGF concentration in each sample is interpolated from this standard curve.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
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 Sheep PLGF pgf (Catalog #AAA736570) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA736570 ELISA Kit recognizes Sheep PLGF. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Placenta Growth Factor, 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
