Antibody DetailsProduct DetailsReactive Species Human Host Species Goat Immunogen Purified Recombinant Human PDGF-AA (Accession # P04085) Formulation This biotinylated antigen affinity purified polyclonal antibody has been 0.2 µm filtered and lyophilized from modified Dulbecco’s phosphate buffered saline (1X PBS) pH 7.2 – 7.3 containing 50 µg of bovine serum albumin per µg of antibody with no calcium, magnesium, or preservatives present. State of Matter Lyophilized Storage and Handling The lyophilized, biotinylated antigen affinity purified polyclonal antibody can be stored desiccated at -20°C to -70°C for up to twelve months from date of receipt. The reconstituted bioin conjugate can be stored for at least four weeks at 2-8°C. For long-term storage of the reconstituted conjugate, aseptically aliquot into working volumes and store at -20°C to -70°C in a manual defrost freezer. Avoid Repeated Freeze Thaw Cycles. No detectable loss of activity was observed after six months. Country of Origin USA Shipping Next Day Ambient RRIDAB_2831523 Applications and Recommended Usage? Quality Tested by Leinco Western Blotting: To detect Human PDGF-AA this biotin conjugate can be used at a concentration of 0.1 - 0.2 µg/ml. This biotin conjugate should be used in conjunction with compatible second-step reagents such as PN:A106 and a chromogenic substrate such as PN:T343. The detection limit for Human PDGF-AA is 2 ng/lane under either reducing or non-reducing conditions. The sensitivity of detection may increase up to 50 fold when a chemiluminescent substrate is used. A suitable Western blotting control is PN:P125. ELISA Sandwich Assay: This antibody can be used as the detection antibody in a sandwich ELISA at a concentration of approximately 0.1-0.4 µg/ml. Each investigator should determine their own optimal working dilution for specific applications. See directions on lot specific datasheets, as information may periodically change. DescriptionSpecificity Goat Anti-Human Platelet Derived Growth Factor-AA (PDGF-AA) recognizes Human PDGF-AA. This antigen affinity purified polyclonal antibody was purified using a proprietary chromatographic technique that includes covalently immobilizing the antigen proteins or peptides to agarose based beads. This purification method enhances specificity, reduces nonspecific binding of extraneous IgG and provides you with the most reliable reagent available for your early discovery research. Background Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), an agent with important mitogenic effects for bone cells, exists in three isoforms, PDGF-AA, - BB, and –AB.1 The A-chain homodimers of the platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF AA) are widely expressed in normal and transformed cells.2 PDGF AA is a potent mitogen for a wide range of cell types including fibroblast, smooth muscle, and connective tissue. PDGF-AA and its receptor represent an important epithelial-mesenchymal interaction which plays a critical role in early lung branching morphogenesis.3 PDGF AA is also an essential autocrine regulator for vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression. It regulates the frequency and level of VEGF expression during the transition from a precancerous lesion to advanced cancer.4 Antigen DetailsPubMed NCBI Gene Bank ID UniProt.org References & Citations1.
