General Notes
This product (Catalog No. DPABH-11949) is a rabbit-derived polyclonal antibody raised against human PGF, targeting the amino acid region 19–131 of the protein. It has been affinity purified by Protein A. Placenta growth factor (PLGF) is also named as PGF and PGFL. PGF is a homodimeric glycoprotein, 46-50 kDa in size, belonging to the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) sub-family. It plays an important role in pathological VEGF-driven angiogenesis. PLGF is expressed not only in placental cells but also in colon and mammary carcinomas. It acts as a primary inflammatory instigator of atherosclerotic plaque instability and thus may be useful as a risk-predicting biomarker in patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS).
DPABH-11949 is suitable for use in ELISA (1:4,000–1:8,000), IHC (1:50–1:100), Western blot (WB) (1:1,000–1:4,000) applications.
DPABH-11949 is supplied as a liquid formulation in 0.01M PBS, pH 7.4, 50% Glycerol, 0.05% Proclin 300. For long-term storage, keep at −20 °C. For short-term use, store at 2–8 °C. Avoid repeated freeze–thaw cycles to maintain antibody integrity and performance.
