Gene Information

General description

Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) is a serum growth factor purified from human platelets. The members of PDGF are homodimers of A-, B-, C- and –D polypeptide chains and an AB heterodimer. PDGF is a mitogen and stimulates the proliferation of cells of connective tissue and glial cells, survival, differentiation, chemotaxis and wound healing. The cellular effects of PDGF isoforms are mediated by binding to α- and β-receptors which leads to activation of downstream signaling via PI3K, STAT and Ras/MAPK. Overexpression of PDGF isoforms has been observed in various malignancies including gliomas, osetosarcoma, chronic myelomonocytic leukemia and non-small-cell lung cancers
Anti-Human Platelet-Derived Growth Factor (PDGF) specifically recognizes natural human PDGF. It will also neutralize the activity of recombinant human PDGF-AB, recombinant human PDGF-AA, recombinant human PDGF-BB, and natural porcine PDGF-BB. It shows cross reactivity with recombinant human PDGF-AB, recombinant human PDGF-AA, recombinant human PDGF-BB, and natural porcine PDGF-BB.

Specificity

The antibody will neutralize the biological activity of natural human PDGF, recombinant human PDGF-AB, PDGF-AA and PDGF-BB and natural porcine PDGF-BB.

Immunogen

natural human PDGF.

Application

Anti-Human Platelet-Derived Growth Factor (PDGF) antibody may be used for ELISA at a working concentration of 0.25 μg/ml. The antibody has been used for ELISA at a dilution of 1:500 using human serum.. For immunoblotting, a concentration of 1 μg/ml is recommended. The antibody is suitable for neutralization reactions and has been used to neutralize PDGF of primary Human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs) and human platelet-enriched plasma.

Physical form

Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution in phosphate buffered saline (pH 7.4) with 5% trehalose.

Preparation Note

Purified using protein G.

Breast cancer frequently metastasizes to bone, resulting in osteolytic lesions. These lesions, formed by activated osteoclasts, cause pain, an increased susceptibility to fractures, and hypercalcemia. It has been shown that breast cancer cells communicate with osteoblasts and subsequently stimulate osteoclast
