{"product_id":"biolegend-534802","title":"Biolegend, 534802, Purified anti-human PlGF Antibody, 500μg","description":"\u003cp\u003ePlacental growth factor (PlGF) is a member of the PDGF\/VEGF family of growth factors. Four alternatively-spliced isoforms have been identified: PlGF-1, PlGF-2, PlGF-3, and PlGF-4. All isoforms are expressed in placental tissues, with PlGF-2 being expressed specifically during early placental development. PlGF-1 and PlGF-3 are considered diffusible isoforms, while PlGF-2 and PlGF-4 each contain a unique heparin binding domain that may increase associations with cell membranes. In addition to placental tissues, PlGF is expressed in the microvasculature, bone marrow, umbilical vein endothelia, uterine keratinocytes, and NK cells. PlGF binds to both VEGF-R1 and neuropilin, but not VEGF-R2 and induces monocyte activation, migration, inflammatory cytokine production. PlGF plays a key role in maternal vascular function during pregnancy, with circulating levels reaching a peak mid-gestation. It can be used as a marker for pregnancy-associated hypertensive disorders such as pre-eclampsia.\u003cbr\u003e\n500μg\u003cbr\u003e\nVerified Reactivity: Human\u003cbr\u003e\nAntibody Type: Monoclonal\u003cbr\u003e\nHost Species: Mouse\u003cbr\u003e\nImmunogen: Recombinant Protein\u003cbr\u003e\nFormulation: Phosphate-buffered solution, pH 7.2, containing 0.09% sodium azide.\u003cbr\u003e\nPreparation: The antibody was purified by affinity chromatography.\u003cbr\u003e\nConcentration: 0.5 mg\/ml\u003cbr\u003e\nStorage \u0026amp; Handling: The antibody solution should be stored undiluted between 2°C and 8°C.\u003cbr\u003e\nApplication: ELISA-C - Quality tested\u003cbr\u003e\nRecommended Usage: Each lot of this antibody is quality control tested by ELISA assay. For ELISA Capture applications, a concentration range of 1.0 - 4.0 µg\/mL is recommended. It is recommended that the reagent be titrated for optimal performance for each application.\u003cbr\u003e\nApplication Notes: The purified 13C8 antibody is useful as the capture antibody in a sandwich ELISA assay, when used in conjunction with the biotinylated 24G3 antibody (Cat. No. 534904) as the detecting antibody.\u003cbr\u003e\nRRID: AB_2894608 (BioLegend Cat. No. 534802)\u003cbr\u003e\nStructure: Homodimer\u003cbr\u003e\nDistribution: Vascular endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells, keratinocytes, hematopoitic cells, retinal pigment epithelial cells, tumor cells, and cerebellar stroma cells.\u003cbr\u003e\nFunction: PlGF is an angiogenic factor and induces proliferation and migration of endothelial cells. It stimulates endothelial cells and synergistically amplifies the action of VEGF. Soluble VEGFR1 (sFLT1) can regulate the accessibility of PlGF.\u003cbr\u003e\nInteraction: Endothelial cells, Macrophages, and trophoblats\u003cbr\u003e\nLigand\/Receptor: VEGFR1 (FLT-1) and neuropilin 1 (Nrp1)\u003cbr\u003e\nCell Type: Endothelial cells, Epithelial cells, Hematopoietic stem and progenitors\u003cbr\u003e\nAntigen References: Maglione D, et al. 1991.
