VEGF ELISA Kit (Mouse)
INTENDED USE
Mouse VEGF ELISA kit is designed for measuring quantitative levels of mouse vascular endothelial cell growth factor (VEGF) using serum, EDTA-plasma and cell supernatant media. This assay has a minimum sensitivity detection limit of 11.0 pg/ml.
BACKGROUND
Vascular endothelial cell growth factor (short for VEGF) was first purified from media that had been conditioned by bovine pituitary folliculo-stellate cells. It is a homodimeric protein which is identical to vascular permeability factor (VPF). Some of the common activities which VEGF has been found include stimulation of capillary permeability, angiogenesis and endothelial cell growth. In normal human tissues, the expression of VEGF can be found in smooth muscle cells, activated macrophages, Leydig cells, hepatocytes, keratinocytes, renal glomerular visceral epithelium, embryonic fibroblasts, mesangial cells, bronchial and choroids plexus epithelium.
