    Description

    PDGF-BB Protein, Human is the most active PDGF isoform, binds to PDGF receptor, promotes diverse cell types proliferation and osteogenesis, and further stimulates bone formation in fracture or defect. PDGF-BB Protein, Human improves collagenase-induced Achilles tendinopathy in rats.

    Background

    Recombinant Human Platelet-derived Growth Factor-BB is the most active PDGF isoform, binds to PDGF receptor, promotes diverse cell types proliferation and osteogenesis, and further stimulates bone formation in fracture or defect. Platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB) is primarily secreted from platelet α-granules and is the most active PDGF isoform in bone and other connective tissue as it can bind to all known PDGF receptors. PDGF-BB plays an important role in bone regeneration by inducing mitogenesis, chemotaxis, extracellular matrix formation, and vascularization[1]. Recombinant Human Platelet-derived Growth Factor-BB (rhPDGF-BB) accelerates tendon healing by improving matrix remodeling, increased collagen synthesis, and increased cell proliferation. Recombinant Human Platelet-derived Growth Factor-BB is also efficacious in a non-ruptured, degenerated, tendinopathy model. Furthermore, Recombinant Human Platelet-derived Growth Factor-BB addresses chronic tendinopathies by inducing proliferation and migration of progenitor cells and tenocytes, which stimulate structural repair of the degenerated tendon[2].

    In Vitro

    PDGF-BB Protein, Human (7.5 ng/mL-7.5 µg/mL) significantly enhances the proliferation of human foreskin fibroblasts[4].
    PDGF-BB Protein, Human (10 ng/mL; 0-24 h) promotes the migration of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (rBM MSC)[5].
    PDGF-BB Protein, Human (50 ng/mL; 2-4 h) upregulates the gene expression of CCL2 and CCL7 in mouse 10T1/2 cells[6].

    In Vivo

    PDGF-BB Protein, Human (3-10 μg; intra-tendon injection) improves maximum load-to-rupture and stiffness in a rat Achilles tendinopathy model induced by collagenase[2].
    PDGF-BB Protein, Human (3 mg/wound; topical application; once daily; 10 d) does not accelerate wound closure, re-epithelialization, or collagen deposition in a splinted full-thickness skin wound model in db/db diabetic mice[4].

    Biological Activity

    Please refer to the lot-specific COA for specific buffer information.
    Note: For SPR assay, please replace the buffer. Primary amine components (e.g., Tris, imidazole) can affect protein-coupled chips.

    Endotoxin Level

    <1 EU/μg, determined by LAL method.

    Reconstitution

    It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100 μg/mL in ddH2O. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% BSA, 5% HSA, 10% FBS or 5% Trehalose).

    Storage & Stability

    Stored at -20°C for 2 years from date of receipt. After reconstitution, it is stable at 4°C for 1 week or -20°C for longer (with carrier protein). It is recommended to freeze aliquots at -20°C or -80°C for extended storage.

    Shipping

    Room temperature in continental US; may vary elsewhere.

    Help & FAQs
    • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

      Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.

    The reconstitution calculator equation

    Volume (to add to vial) = Mass (in vial) ÷ Desired Reconstitution Concentration

    Volume (to add to vial) = Mass (in vial) ÷ Desired Reconstitution Concentration
    = ÷

    The dilution calculator equation

    Concentration (start) × Volume (start) = Concentration (final) × Volume (final)

    This equation is commonly abbreviated as: C1V1 = C2V2

    Concentration (start) × Volume (start) = Concentration (final) × Volume (final)

    The specific activity calculator equation

    Specific Activity (Unit/mg) = 106 ÷ Biological Activity (ED50)

    Specific Activity (Unit/mg) = 106 ÷ Biological Activity (ED50)
    Unit/mg = 106 ÷ ng/mL
