Does the Human PlGF Quantikine® ELISA Kit, Catalog # DPG00, detect free or total PlGF?

Name: Human PlGF Quantikine ELISA Kit
Brand: R&D Systems
SKU: DPG00
Rating: 5 (3 reviews)

Soluble receptors or other binding proteins present in biological samples do not necessarily interfere with the measurement of ligands in samples. However, until the factors have been tested in the Quantikine® Immunoassay, the possibility of interference cannot be excluded. We cannot claim Catalog # DPG00 to be a "free" or "total" PlGF detecting kit, since all possible binding factors have not been tested. Specificity testing performed using rhFlt-1/Fc (VEGF R1) for interference demonstrated interference at levels greater than 2000 pg/mL. Details of this testing can be found in the DPG00 product insert. Most samples will have lower levels of sFlt-1 than 2000 pg/ml.

Product Summary for Human PlGF Quantikine ELISA Kit

The Quantikine Human PlGF Immunoassay is a 3.5 or 4.5 hour solid phase ELISA designed to measure human PlGF in cell culture supernates, serum, plasma, and urine. The immunoassay kit contains E. coli-expressed recombinant human PlGF and antibodies raised against the recombinant factor. This immunoassay has been shown to quantitate recombinant human PlGF accurately. Results obtained using natural human PlGF showed dose curves that were parallel to the standard curves obtained using the recombinant Quantikine kit standards. These results indicate that this kit can be used to determine relative mass values for natural human PlGF.

Recovery for Human PlGF Quantikine ELISA Kit

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

Sample Type	Average % Recovery	Range %
Cell Culture Media (n=5)	97	82-107
Citrate Plasma (n=5)	99	93-120
EDTA Plasma (n=5)	102	92-117
Heparin Plasma (n=5)	94	81-113
Serum (n=5)	96	88-118
Urine (n=4)	97	85-112

Linearity

To assess the linearity of the assay, five samples were spiked with high concentrations of PlGF in various matrices and diluted with the appropriate Calibrator Diluent to produce samples with values within the dynamic range of the assay.

Background: PlGF

PlGF (placenta growth factor) is a homodimeric growth factor that competes with VEGF for binding to VEGF R1/Flt-1. It therefore increases the availability of VEGF to bind to VEGF R2/KDR/Flk-1 and trigger angiogenesis. It can form heterodimers with some forms of VEGF and decrease the angiogenic effect of VEGF on VEGF R2. Circulating PlGF levels increase during pregnancy, reaching a peak in mid-gestation; this increase is attenuated in preeclampsia. PlGF induces monocyte activation and migration as well as production of inflammatory cytokines and VEGF. These activities facilitate wound, bone fracture, and cardiac repair, but also contribute to inflammation in active sickle cell disease and atherosclerosis. PlGF can also inhibit TIMP3 expression in the spleen, leading to immune triggering of hypertension.
