Product Specific Information

Carrier-Free

Reconstitution: We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Reconstitute the lyophilized powder in 10 mM acetic acid to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL. Do not vortex. This solution can be stored at 2°C to 8°C for up to 1 week. For extended storage, it is recommended to further dilute in a buffer containing a carrier protein, such as 0.1% BSA and store in working aliquots at -20°C to -80°C.

Storage: The lyophilized protein is stable at room temperature for 1 month, but should be kept at -20°C for long term storage, preferably desiccated. Working aliquots stored with a carrier protein are stable for at least 12 months at -20°C to -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.

Target Information

Platelet-Derived Growth Factor (PDGF) is a mitogenic peptide growth hormone carried in the alpha-granules of platelets and is released when platelets adhere to traumatized tissues. Connective tissue cells near the traumatized region respond by initiating the process of replication. The synthesis of PDGF can be induced by IL-1, IL-6, TNF-alpha, TGF-beta and EGF.
