Product Summary for Human VEGF-C Quantikine ELISA Kit

The Quantikine Human VEGF-C Immunoassay is a 4.5 hour solid-phase ELISA designed to measure human VEGF-C in cell culture supernates, serum, and plasma. It contains recombinant human VEGF-C (Cys156Ser substituted) and has been shown to accurately quantitate the recombinant factor. Results obtained using recombinant human VEGF-C (wild type) and natural human VEGF-C 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 human VEGF-C.

Recovery for Human VEGF-C Quantikine ELISA Kit

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

Sample Type	Average % Recovery	Range %
Cell Culture Supernates (n=4)	107	93-115
EDTA Plasma (n=4)	101	96-110
Heparin Plasma (n=4)	97	88-103
Serum (n=4)	99	89-106

Linearity

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

Background: VEGF-C

Vascular endothelial growth factor C (VEGF-C) is a homodimeric ligand of VEGF R3/Flt-4 and is synthesized with N- and C-terminal propeptides. Fully processed VEGF-C containing only the VEGF homology domain can additionally bind and activate VEGF R2/KDR/Flk-1. VEGF-C interactions with VEGF R3 are critical for lymphangiogenesis. Both the ligand and receptor are usually co-expressed at sites of lymphatic vessel sprouting, in the embryo, and in various pathological conditions. Over-expression of VEGF-C in tumor cells induces tumoral lymphatic hyperplasia, neoangiogenesis, and vessel sprouting, resulting in enhanced lymph flow and metastasis to regional lymph nodes.
