Sandwich ELISA quantitative detection kit for Rat VEGF in cell culture supernates, serum and plasma (heparin, EDTA, citrate).Vascular permeability factor/vascular endothelial growth factor (VPF/VEGF), a potent cytokine expressed by most malignant tumors, has critical roles in vasculogenesis and both physiological and pathological angiogenesis.VEGF produced by tumor cells potently stimulates endothelial cell proliferation and angiogenesis and plays a key role in the pathophysiology of several neoplasias.VEGF may also play a pivotal role in mediating the development and progression of diabetic retinopathy. VEGF, a major regulator of angiogenesis, binds to two receptor tyrosine kinases, KDR/Flk-1 and Flt-1. The VEGF gene is mapped by fluorescence in situ hybridization to chromosome 6p12.The standard product used in this kit is recombinant rat VEGF164, which is a 25kD single chain as well as a 50kD dimer.Assay Range:15.6pg/ml-1000pg/mlSensitivity:< 1 pg/mlCrossreactivity:There is no detectable cross-reactivity with other relevant proteins.Uniprot ID:B5DEK7Entrez Gene ID:83785Kit Components:96-well plate pre-coated with anti-VEGF, RatLyophilized recombinant VEGF, Rat standard, 10ng/tube, 2EaUSB Cat No Kit Component143696 Avidin-Biotin-Peroxidase Complex (ABC), 130ul (1:100 dilution)143697 Sample diluent buffer, 30ml143698 Antibody diluent buffer, 12ml143699 ABC diluent buffer, 12ml143700 TMB color developing agent, 10ml143701 TMB stop solution, 10mlStorage and Handling:Store at 4°C for 6 months, at -20°C for 12 months.
