{"product_id":"biolegend-512809","title":"Biolegend, 512809, Ultra-LEAF™ Purified anti-mouse VEGF-A Antibody, 100μg","description":"\u003cp\u003eVEGF-A, also known as VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor), is the founding member of the family including VEGF (VEGF-A), VEGF-B, VEGF-C, VEGF-D, VEGF-E, and PIGF. Vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGFs) are a family of secreted polypeptides with a highly conserved receptor-binding cystine-knot structure similar to that of the platelet-derived growth factors.VEGF-A has important roles in mammalian vascular development and in diseases involving abnormal growth of blood vessels such as tumor-related angiogenesis.VEGF-A is produced by diverse cell types, including aortic vascular smooth muscle cells, keratinocytes, macrophages and many tumor cells. Oxygen tension is a key physiological regulator of VEGF-A gene expression.\u003cbr\u003e\n100μg\u003cbr\u003e\nVerified Reactivity: Mouse, Human\u003cbr\u003e\nAntibody Type: Monoclonal\u003cbr\u003e\nHost Species: Rat\u003cbr\u003e\nImmunogen: N-terminal 24 aa sequence of murine VEGF\u003cbr\u003e\nFormulation: 0.2 µm filtered in phosphate-buffered solution, pH 7.2, containing no preservative.\u003cbr\u003e\nEndotoxin Level: Less than 0.01 EU\/µg of the protein (\u0026lt; 0.001 ng\/µg of the protein) as determined by the LAL test.\u003cbr\u003e\nPreparation: The Ultra-LEAF™ (Low Endotoxin, Azide-Free) antibody was purified by affinity chromatography.\u003cbr\u003e\nConcentration: The antibody is bottled at the concentration indicated on the vial, typically between 2 mg\/mL and 3 mg\/mL.

However, upon request, this can be tested on a custom basis with an outside, independent laboratory.\u003cbr\u003e\nQ: Does BioLegend test each Ultra-LEAF™ antibody by functional assay?\u003cbr\u003e\nA: No, BioLegend does not test Ultra-LEAF™ antibodies by functional assays unless otherwise indicated. Due to the possible complexities and variations of uses of biofunctional antibodies in different assays and because of the large product portfolio, BioLegend does not currently perform functional assays as a routine QC for the antibodies. However, we do provide references in which the antibodies were used for functional assays and we do perform QC to verify the specificity and quality of the antibody based on our strict specification criteria.\u003cbr\u003e\nQ: Does BioLegend test each Ultra-LEAF™ antibody for potential pathogens?\u003cbr\u003e\nA: No, BioLegend does not test for pathogens in-house unless otherwise indicated.  However, we can recommend an outside vendor to perform this testing as needed.\u003cbr\u003e\nQ: Have you tested this Ultra-LEAF™ antibody for in vivo or in vitro applications?\u003cbr\u003e\nA: We don't test our antibodies for in vivo or in vitro applications unless otherwise indicated. Depending on the product, the TDS may describe literature supporting usage of a particular product for bioassay. It may be best to further consult the literature to find clone specific information.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Biolegend","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46862326497449,"sku":"512809","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/biolegend-512809","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
