Product Summary for Human VEGF/PlGF Heterodimer Quantikine ELISA Kit

The Quantikine Human VEGF/PlGF Heterodimer Immunoassay is a 4.5 hour solid-phase ELISA designed to measure human VEGF/PlGF in cell culture supernates, serum, and plasma. It contains E. coli-expressed recombinant human VEGF/PlGF and has been shown to accurately quantitate the recombinant factor. Results obtained using natural human VEGF/PlGF showed linear curves that were parallel to the standard curves obtained using the Quantikine kit standards. These results indicate that this kit can be used to determine relative mass values for naturally occurring VEGF/PlGF.

Recovery for Human VEGF/PlGF Heterodimer Quantikine ELISA Kit

The recovery of VEGF/PlGF spiked to levels throughout the range of the assay in various matrices was evaluated.

Sample Type Average % Recovery Range %
Cell Culture Supernates (n=4) 93 85-99
EDTA Plasma (n=4) 106 97-114
Heparin Plasma (n=4) 102 91-112
Serum (n=4) 98 86-114

Linearity

To assess the linearity of the assay, samples containing and/or spiked with high concentrations of VEGF/PlGF were serially diluted with the appropriate Calibrator Diluent to produce samples with values within the dynamic range of the assay.

Background: VEGF/PlGF Heterodimer

The disulfide-linked homodimeric proteins vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and placenta growth factor (PlGF) are both members of the VEGF family of growth factors. E. coli-expressed monomers of PlGF and VEGF can be refolded in vitro to form PlGF/VEGF heterodimers. The purified recombinant PlGF/VEGF heterodimers are much less potent than VEGF homodimers as mitogens for endothelial cells.
