Anti-Mouse PDGF Rα

Quality Tested by Leinco Western Blotting: To detect Mouse PDGF Rα this polyclonal antibody can be used at a concentration of 1 µg/ml. This polyclonal antibody should be used in conjunction with compatible second-step reagents such as PN:G505 and a chromogenic substrate such as PN:T343. The detection limit for Mouse PDGF Rα is 5 ng/lane under either reducing or non-reducing conditions. The sensitivity of detection may increase up to 50 fold when a chemiluminescent substrate is used. A suitable Western blotting control is PN:P249.

Platelet-derived growth factor receptor, alpha polypeptide, also known as PDGFRA, encodes a cell surface tyrosine kinase receptor for members of the platelet-derived growth factor family. These growth factors are mitogens for cells of mesenchymal origin. The identity of the growth factor bound to a receptor monomer determines whether the functional receptor is a homodimer or a heterodimer, composed of both platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha and beta polypeptides. A soluble form of the platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) alpha receptor, designated sPDGF-R alpha is capable of binding PDGF ligand and can compete with cell-associated PDGF receptors for ligand binding.1

IHC (NBF/Par.): This antibody should give satisfactory staining results when used at a concentration of 5-15 µg/ml. The recommended secondary antibody for IHC is PN:G505. For chromogenic detection with high signal and low background use PN:D100 or PN:K107.
Neutralization: This antibody is useful for neutralization of Mouse PDGF Rα bioactivity. The antibody dose required to neutralize 50% (ND₅₀) of the biological activity of Mouse PDGF Rα (at 10 ng/ml) is 1-5 µg/ml.

Goat Anti-Mouse Platelet-Derived Growth Factor Receptor Alpha (PDGF Rα) recognizes Mouse PDGF Rα. This antigen affinity purified polyclonal antibody was purified using a proprietary chromatographic technique that includes covalently immobilizing the antigen proteins or peptides to agarose based beads. This purification method enhances specificity, reduces nonspecific binding of extraneous IgG and provides you with the most reliable reagent available for your early discovery research.

This antigen affinity purified polyclonal antibody has been 0.2 µm filtered and lyophilized from modified Dulbecco’s phosphate buffered saline (1X PBS) pH 7.2 – 7.3 containing 5.0% w/v trehalose with no calcium, magnesium, or preservatives present.
