Background of Pdgfb
The platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) is a mitogen derived from human platelets consisting of two related polypeptides termed A and B chains. The genes for PDGF A chain, B chain/c-sis, and the PDGF receptor are expressed in human malignant glioma cell lines. Normal human endothelial cells in culture express the B chain of PDGF, and that endothelial-derived PDGF B chain is synthesized as a predicted precursor polypeptide of Mr 27,281. The entire B chain of PDGF is highly (96%) homologous to a portion of p28sis, the transforming protein of simian sarcoma virus (SSV). It has been suggested that p28sis exerts its transforming potential by mimicking the growth promoting activity of PDGF and stimulating the cell in an autocrine manner. PDGF A-chain precursor polypeptide is assigned to the proximal long arm of chromosome 7, band q11.23. The human homolog (PDGF B-chain/c-sis) of the transforming gene of simian sarcoma virus is assigned to chromosome 22. The standard product used in this kit is recombinant rat PDGF-AB (A chain Ser87-Arg196; B chain Ser74-Thr182) with the molecular mass of 24.8KDa.

Intra Assay Consistency & Inter Assay Consistency
We measured random samples of Rat PDGF-AB ELISA Kit PicoKine® within the same batch/lot to ensure the consistency of the kits' performances. ELISA intra assay consistency is measured using wells from the same plate/assay kit. ELISA inter assay consistency is measured using wells from different plates from the same batch production/lot.

Question
Q: how can I thaw whole blood sample for PDGFB ELISA after freezing?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2018-07-21
Answer
A: do not freeze and thaw whole blood. erythrocytes are fragile and, if frozen and thawed, will undergo hemolysis rendering the samples useless. To keep your blood samples to test PDGFB for a later time, you should let the blood clot in glass tubes and separate the serum to freeze for later analysis.

Question
Q: how long can samples (cell cultures, serum, and plasma) be stored and still be stable for measurement PDGFB using the EK0485 Rat PDGFB Picokine® ELISA Kit?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2018-01-18
Answer
A: Boster Bio does not assess sample stability. Variations in sample collection, processing, and storage may alter the stabilityof samples. It is recommend to assay sample immediately after collection when possible, or aliquot into single use volumes and store samples frozen. avoid repetitive freeze-thaw cycles with the stored samples in order to limit protein degradation.

Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2016-11-14
Answer
A: The Picokine® ELISA Kits will generally run a 7-point standard curve, non-specific binding wells, and 39 samples in duplicate. this may depends upon the kit used so please refer to each datasheet for details.

Answered: 2016-11-14
Question
Q: if the enzyme conjugated PDGFB antibodies are mixed with the substrate, will that change the substrate into the enzymatic reaction product? Or the enzyme function is only activated when the antibody is attached with the PDGFB antigen?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2014-06-13
Answer
A: The enzyme is always active. Avoid contaminating the substrate with enzyme prior to the incubation otherwise it compromises the assay with false positive signal.
