| PLGF

Placental growth factor (PlGF) is a protein that is encoded by the PGF gene.Placental growth factor (PGF) is a member of the VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) sub-family - a key molecule in angiogenesis and vasculogenesis, in particular during embryogenesis. The main source of PGF during pregnancy is the placental trophoblast. PGF is also expressed in many other tissues, including the villous trophoblast.
 

| Typical data

As the OD values of the standard curve may vary according to the conditions of the actual assay performance (e.g. operator, pipetting technique, wash technique or temperature effects), the operator should establish a standard curve for each test. Typical standard curve and data are provided below for reference only.

 

Concentration (pg/mL)	500	250	125	62.5	31.25	15.62	7.81	0
OD	2.36	1.56	1.04	0.65	0.46	0.34	0.29	0.1
Corrected OD	2.26	1.46	0.94	0.55	0.36	0.24	0.19	-

 

| Repeatability

Intra-assay Precision (Precision within an assay)：CV% < 10%; Inter-assay Precision (Precision between assays)：CV% < 10%
 

| Recovery

The recovery of Mouse PLGF spiked at three different levels in samples throughout the range of the assay was evaluated in various matrices.

 

Sample Type	Range(%)	Average Recovery(%)
Serum(n=8)	85-102	98
Plasma(n=8)	92-105	102
Tissue Homogenates(n=8)	96-109	105

 

| Linearity

Samples were spiked with high concentrations of Mouse PLGF and diluted with Universal Diluent to produce samples with values within the range of the assay.

 

		Serum(n=4)	Plasma(n=4)	Tissue Homogenates(n=4)
1 : 2	Range (%)	85-95	88-96	90-110
	Average (%)	92	93	96
1 : 4	Range (%)	89-103	87-108	105-115
	Average (%)	94	98	108
