Nori Canine PDGF-AB ELISA Kit
$461.00 – $832.00
This ELISA kit is for quantification of PDGF-AB in canine. This is a quick ELISA assay that reduces time to 50% compared to the conventional method, and the entire assay only takes 3 hours. This assay employs the quantitative sandwich enzyme immunoassay technique and uses biotin-streptavidin chemistry to improve the performance of the assays. An antibody specific for PDGF-AB has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and any PDGF-AB present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After washing away any unbound substances, a detection antibody specific for PDGF-AB is added to the wells. Following wash to remove any unbound antibody reagent, a detection reagent is added. After intensive wash a substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of PDGF-AB bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped, and the intensity of the color is measured.

Background:
Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) is one of the numerous growth factors that regulate cell growth and division. In particular, it plays a significant role in blood vessel formation (angiogenesis), the growth of blood vessels from already-existing blood vessel tissue. Uncontrolled angiogenesis is a characteristic of cancer. PDGF is a dimeric glycoprotein composed of two A (-AA) or two B (-BB) chains or a combination of the two (-AB). PDGF[1][2] is a potent mitogen for cells of mesenchymal origin, including smooth muscle cells and glial cells. In both rabbit and human, the PDGF signalling network consists of four ligands, PDGFA-D, and two receptors, PDGFR alpha and PDGFR beta. All PDGFs function as secreted, disulphide-linked homodimers, but only PDGFA and B can form functional heterodimers.
PDGF plays a role in embryonic development, cell proliferation, cell migration, and angiogenesis. PDGF has also been linked to several diseases such as atherosclerosis, fibrosis and malignant diseases. In addition, PDGF is a required element in cellular division for fibroblast. In essence, the PDGFs allow a cell to skip the G1 checkpoints in order to divide. PDGF and its receptors have provided a market for receptor antagonists to treat disease. Such antagonists include (but are not limited to) specific antibodies that target the molecule of interest, which act only in a neutralizing manner. Though it is synthesized[3] stored and released by platelets upon activation, it is produced by a plethora of cells including smooth muscle cells, activated macrophages, and endothelial cells[4]
