Description

General description

Platelet-Derived Growth Factor (PDGF) is a dimer of A (17 kDa) and B (14 kDa) chains (AA, AB, or BB). Its receptors are transmembrane receptor tyrosine kinases, PDGF Receptors type A and B. The type A PDGF receptor binds all three PDGFs with high affinity, whereas the type B PDGF receptor is selective for PDGF-BB. PDGF signals as a growth and survival factor, as it is a potent activator of the PI3 Kinase pathway. PDGF signaling appears to play an essential role in the development of tumors of glial origin.

Specificity

Reacts with human PDGF-BB.

Immunogen

Highly purified (>98%) recombinant human PDGF-BB

Application

Anti-PDGF-BB Antibody detects level of PDGF-BB & has been published & validated for use in WB, ELISA, NEUT.

ELISA: 0.5 μg/mL dilution of a previous lot will allow detection (in direct ELISA) of
0.2-0.4 ng/well when human PDGF-BB is used to coat the plate.

Neutralization: To yield ½ maximal inhibition (ND50) of the biological activity of hPDGF-BB (2.5
ng/mL), a concentration of 0.03-0.04 μg/mL of a previous lot of this antibody was required.

Immunohistochemistry(paraffin): Anti-IGF-1R, representative staining-pattern and morphology on ductal breast carcinoma. Tissue was pretreated with EDTA, pH 8.0 for Epitope retrieval. A previous lot of this antibody was diluted to 1:200 (RT incubation), using IHC-Select Detection with HRP-DAB.

Optimal working dilutions must be determined by the end user.

Physical form

Affinity purified

Purified rabbit polyclonal IgG lyophilized from 0.5X PBS, pH 7.4. Reconstitute with sterile distilled water.

Storage and Stability

Maintain lyophilized material desiccated below 0°C. After reconstitution maintain at -20°C in convenient undiluted aliquots for up to 6 months from date of receipt.
Handling Recommendations: Upon first thaw, and prior to removing the cap, centrifuge the vial and gently mix the solution. Aliquot into microcentrifuge tubes and store at -20°C. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles, which may damage IgG and affect product performance.
