Product Information
KE00355 is a solid phase sandwich Enzyme Linked-Immuno-Sorbent Assay (Sandwich ELISA). The human PGF/PIGF ELISA kit is to be used to detect and quantify protein levels of endogenous human PGF/PIGF. The assay recognizes human PGF/PIGF. An antibody specific for human PGF/PIGF has been pre-coated onto the microwells. The human PGF/PIGF protein in samples is captured by the coated antibody after incubation. Following extensive washing, another horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated antibody specific for human PGF/PIGF is added to detect the captured human PGF/PIGF protein. For signal development, followed by Tetramethyl-benzidine (TMB) reagent. Solution containing sulfuric acid is used to stop color development and the color intensity which is proportional to the quantity of bound protein is measurable at 450 nm with the correction wavelength set at 630 nm.

Background Information
PlGF (placenta growth factor), also named as PGF, is an angiogenic factor which belongs to vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) family. The human PlGF gene is located on chromosome 14q14 and encodes 4 isoforms of PlGF. The protein is secreted as a glycosylated homodimer and PlGF-1 and -3 are diffusible isoforms whereas PlGF-2 and PlGF-4 have heparin binding domains. PlGF was originally identified in the placenta, where it regulates growth and differentiation of trophoblasts. It is also expressed in umbilical vein endothelial cells and other non-placental tissues, like the thyroid gland and developing lung tissue. PlGF has angiogenic properties, enhancing survival, growth and migration of endothelial cells in vitro, and promotes vessel formation in certain in-vivo models. Serum levels of PIGF and sFlt-1 (also known as soluble VEGF receptor-1) are altered in women with preeclampsia. PIGF is a potential biomarker for preeclampsia, a condition in which blood vessels in the placenta are too narrow, resulting in high blood pressure.
