Biological Activity

Description

PDGF-BB Protein, Rat is a member of PDGF family, which promotes cell proliferation, survival and migration, through binding to the tyrosine kinase PDGF receptor.

Background

Platelet derived growth factor (PDGF) is a potent mitogen and chemoattractant for mesenchymal and osteogenic cells and stimulates angiogenic molecules which play an essential role in bone regeneration[1]. Platelet-Derived Growth Factor-BB is a member of PDGF family, which promotes cell proliferation, survival and migration, through binding to the tyrosine kinase PDGF receptor. PDGF-BB exerts beneficial effects on haemorrhagic shock, which are closely related to targeting CX43 to improve vascular reactivity and haemodynamics. PDGF-BB functions in corporal cavernosum smooth muscle cells (CCSMCs) via binding to PDGFR[2].

Verified Bioactivity

The ED50 is <2 ng/mL as measured by Balb/c 3T3 cells, corresponding to a specific activity of >5.0 × 105 units/mg.

Appearance

Lyophilized powder

Formulation

1.Lyophilized from a 0.22 μm filtered solution of 20 mM acetic acid.
2.Lyophilized from a 0.22 μm filtered solution of 50 mM Tris-HCl, 300 mM NaCl, pH 8.0.
3.Lyophilized from a 0.22 μm filtered solution of PBS, pH 7.4, 8% trehalose.
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

<0.2 EU/μg, determined by LAL method.

Reconstitution

It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100 μg/mL in 20mM HAc. 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.
