Product Data

• Applications: ELISA, WB
• Recommended Dilution: Direct ELISA: To detect Human PDGF-AA by Direct ELISA (using 100 µl/well antibody solution) this antibody can be used at a concentration of ~ 1.0 µg/ml. Used in conjunction with compatible secondary reagents, allows the detection of at least 0.2 ng/well of recombinant Human PDGF-AA.
  Sandwich ELISA: To detect Human PDGF-AA by Sandwich ELISA (using 100 μl/well antibody solution), a concentration of 0.25-1.0 μg/ml of this antibody is required, in conjunction with a purified anti-Human PDGF-AA (Cat.-No PP1061P) as a Capture antibody, allows the detection of at least 0.2-0.4 ng/well of recombinant Human PDGF-AA.
  Western Blot: To detect Human PDGF-AA by Western Blot analysis this antibody can be used at a concentration of 0.1-0.2 µg/ml. When Used in conjunction with compatible secondary reagents the detection limit for recombinant Human PDGF-AA is 1.5-3.0 ng/lane, under either reducing or non-reducing conditions.

• Background: PDGFs are disulfide-linked dimers consisting of two 12.0-13.5 kDa polypeptide chains, designated PDGF-A and PDGF-B chains. The three naturally occurring PDGFs; PDGF-AA, PDGF-BB and PDGF-AB, are potent mitogens for a variety of cell types including smooth muscle cells, connective tissue cells, bone and cartilage cells, and some blood cells. The PDGFs are stored in platelet alpha-granules and are released upon platelet activation. The PDGFs are involved in a number of biological processes, including hyperplasia, chemotaxis, embryonic neuron development, and respiratory tubule epithelial cell development.
  Two distinct signaling receptors used by PDGFs have been identified and named PDGFR-alpha and PDGFR-beta. PDGFRalpha is high-affinity receptor for each of the three PDGF forms. On the other hand, PDGFR-beta interacts with only PDGF-BB and PDGF-AB.
