Product Summary for Mouse PlGF-2 Quantikine ELISA Kit

The Quantikine Mouse PlGF-2 Immunoassay is a 4.5 hour solid phase ELISA designed to measure mouse PlGF-2 levels in cell culture supernates, serum, and plasma. It contains Sf 21-expressed recombinant mouse PlGF-2 and antibodies raised against the recombinant factor. This immunoassay has been shown to accurately quantitate the recombinant factor. Results obtained using natural mouse PlGF-2 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 mouse PlGF-2.

Background: PlGF-2

Placenta growth factor (PlGF) is a dimeric growth factor in the PDGF/VEGF family. Alternative splicing generates at least three human PlGF isoforms PlGF 1, PlGF 2, and PlGF 3. PlGF 2 is the only isoform that contains a heparin binding region. It is expressed by villous trophoblasts, decidual cells, erythroblasts, keratinocytes, and some endothelial cells. PlGF competes with VEGF for binding and activating VEGF R1/Flt 1. This results in increased angiogenesis by making more VEGF available for activation of VEGF R2. PlGF 2 also exhibits heparin dependent binding of Neuropilins-1 and 2 which serve as VEGF co-receptors. It can inhibit nerve growth cone collapse and induce monocyte production of inflammatory cytokines including VEGF.
