Produced from sera of rabbits pre-immunized with highly pure (>98%) recombinant hPlGF. Human PlGF specific antibody was purified by affinity chromatography employing immobilized hPlGF matrix.
PGF
Reactivity: Human
WB, PLA
Host: Rabbit
Polyclonal
unconjugated
Application Notes
ELISA: Direct: To detect hPlGF by indirect ELISA (using 100 μ,L/well antibody solution) a concentration of 0.5 - 2.0 μ,g/mL of this antibody is required. This antigen affinity purified antibody, in conjunction with compatible secondary reagents, allows the detection of at least 0.2 - 0.4 ng/well of recombinant hPlGF.
Sandwich To detect hPlGF by sandwich ELISA (using 100 μ,L/well antibody solution) a concentration of 0.5 - 2.0 μ,g/mL of this antibody is required. This antigen affinity purified antibody, in conjunction with our biotinylated Anti-Human PlGF as a detection antibody, allows the detection of at least 0.2 - 0.4 ng/well of recombinant hPlGF.
Western Blot: To detect hPlGF by Western Blot analysis this antibody can be used at a concentration of 0.1 - 0.2 μ,g/mL. Used in conjunction with compatible secondary reagents the detection limit for recombinant hPlGF is 1.5 - 3.0 ng/lane, under either reducing or non-reducing conditions.

Storage Comment
PlGF antibody is stable for at least 2 years from date of receipt at -20°C. The reconstituted antibody is stable for at least two weeks at 2-8°C. Frozen aliquots are stable for at least 6 months when stored at -20°C. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
PLGF (also called Placenta Growth Factor) is an angiogenic factor that belongs to the cysteine-knot superfamily of growth factors. PLGF is expressed in placental tissues, colon and mammary carcinomas. It signals through the VEGFR-1/FLT1 receptor and stimulates endothelial cell proliferation and migration.
