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 PDGF-AA

Immunogen

Highly pure (>98%) recombinant human PDGF-AA.

Application

Detect PDGF-AA using this Anti-PDGF-AA Antibody validated for use in IH(P), ELISA, WB, NEUT.
Immunohistochemisty (paraffin): PDGF representative staining pattern/morphology in prostate cancer. Tissue was pretreated with citrate pH 6, antigen retrieval. A previous lot of this antibody was diluted to 1:100, using IHC-Select Detection with HRP-DAB.

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

Neutralization: To yield ½ maiximal inhibition (ND50) of the biological activity of hPDGF-AA (5.0 ng/mL), a concentration of 0.05-0.07 μg/mL of a previous lot of this antibody was required.

Optimal working dilutions must be determined by the end user.

Quality

Routinely evaluated by Western Blot on C2C12 lysates.

Western Blot Analysis:
1:500 dilution of this lot detected PDGF-AA on 10 μg of C2C12 lysates.

Target description

24 kDa detected in Western Blot.

Linkage

Replaces: AB1486P

Physical form

Affinity purified
Purified rabbit polyclonal IgG lyophilized from PBS, pH 7.2.

Storage and Stability

The lyophilized antibody is stable at room temperature for at least one month and for up to one year when kept at -20ºC. When reconstituted in sterile water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL, the antibody is stable for at least six weeks at 2-8ºC.
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.

Pulmonary fibrosis is characterized by pathological scaring of the lung. Similar to other fibrotic diseases, scar formation is driven by excessive extracellular matrix deposition by activated, proliferative, and migratory fibroblasts. Currently, the two most widely used chemotaxis and cell migration

Angiogenesis is a hallmark of cancer. However, most malignant solid tumors exhibit robust resistance to current anti-angiogenic therapies that primarily target VEGF pathways. Here we report that endothelial-mesenchymal transformation induces glioblastoma (GBM) resistance to anti-angiogenic therapy by downregulating VEGFR-2 expression

The tumor microenvironment (TME) consists of different cell types, including tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) and tumor-associated fibroblasts (TAFs). How these cells interact and contribute to lung carcinogenesis remains elusive. Using G12DKRAS- and V600EBRAF-driven mouse lung models, we identify the pleiotropic glycoprotein
