ELISA: Indirect: To detect hPlGF (using 100 μL/well antibody solution) a concentration of0.5 - 2.0 μg/mL of this antibody is required. In conjunction with compatible secondaryreagents, it allows the detection of at least 0.2 - 0.4 ng/well of recombinant hPlGF. Sandwich: To detect hPlGF (using 100 μL/well antibody solution) a concentration of0.5 - 2.0 μg/mL of this antibody is required. In conjunction with Biotinylated Anti-HumanPlGF as a detection antibody, it allows the detection of at least 0.2 - 0.4 ng/well ofrecombinant hPlGF. Western blot: To detect hPlGF this antibody can be used at a concentration of 0.1 - 0.2g/mL. Used in conjunction with compatible secondary reagents the detection limit forrecombinant hPlGF is 1.5 - 3.0 ng/lane, under either reducing or non-reducing conditions. Other applications not tested. Optimal dilutions are dependent on conditions and should be determined by the user.

PLGF is a growth factor active in angiogenesis, and endothelial cell growth, stimulating their proliferation and migration. It belongs to the cysteine-knot superfamily. PLGF is expressed in placental tissues, colon and mammary carcinomas. It signals through the VEGFR-1/FLT1 receptor.Synonyms: PGFL, PLGF, PlGF
