This Human Placenta Growth Factor ELISA Kit from Innovative Research is intended for quantitative detection of human PLGF in cell culture supernates, serum, plasma (heparin, EDTA, citrate) and urine. Strip well format. Reagents for up to 96 tests.

This human PLGF ELISA Kit was based on standard sandwich enzyme-linked immune-sorbent assay technology. A monoclonal antibody from mouse specific for PLGF has been precoated onto 96-well plates. Standards(E.coli, A21-R149) and test samples are added to the wells, a biotinylated detection polyclonal antibody from goat specific for PLGF is added subsequently and then followed by washing with PBS or TBS buffer. Avidin-Biotin-Peroxidase Complex was added and unbound conjugates were washed away with PBS or TBS buffer. HRP substrate TMB was 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 human PLGF amount of sample captured in plate.

Additional Information: The capture antibody is a monoclonal antibody from mouse, the detection antibody is a biotinylated polyclonal antibody from goat. Expression system for standard: The protein, also called PGF, is 149 amino acids long and shares 53% identity with the platelet-derived growth factor-like region of human VPF. And the N-glycosylated PLGF protein is secreted into the medium and that it functions as a dimer1. The PLGF gene is mapped to 14q24-q31. There are 3 isoforms of PGF, designated PGF1, PGF2, and PGF3. Only PGF2 is able to bind heparin. Additionally, PGF regulates inter- and intramolecular cross-talk between the VEGF receptor tyrosine kinases FLT1 and FLK12. It also can stimulate angiogenesis and collateral growth in ischemic heart and limb with at least a comparable efficiency to VEGF3.; Immunogen sequence: 380
