Proteintech™ Human PIGF ELISA Kit

Product Code. 16801586

Brand: Proteintech™ KE0017396T

Description

Solid phase sandwich ELISA used to detect and quantify protein levels of endogenous PIGF

• Recognizes human PIGF
• PIGF (Placenta growth factor, PGF) is an angiogenic factor belonging to vascular endothelial growth factor family
  • Located on chromosome 14q14, encodes four isoforms of PIGF
  • Protein secreted as glycosylated homodimer
  • PIGF-1 and 3 are diffusible isoforms, PIGF-2 and 4 have heparin binding domains
  • PIGF identified in placenta, regulates growth and differentiation of trophoblasts, expressed in umbilical vein endothelial cells and non-placental tissues (thyroid gland and developing lung tissue)
  • Has angiogenic properties, enhancing survival, growth and migration of endothelial cells in vitro and promotes vessel formation in certain in vivo models
  • Potential biomarker for preeclampsia

Process:

• Antibody specific for PIGF pre-coated onto microwells
• PIGF protein in samples captured by the coated antibody after incubation
• After extensive washing, another antibody of biotinylated specific for PIGF is added to detect captured PIGF protein
• For signal development, Streptavidin-HRP is added, followed by Tetramethyl-benzidine (TMB) reagent
• Solution containing sulfuric acid used to stop color development and color intensity
  • Proportional to quantity of bound protein, measurable at 450 nm with correction wavelength set at 630 nm
