Placental growth factor (PGF/PlGF) serves as a critical regulator of angiogenesis and vascular development, functioning as a member of the VEGF family that modulates endothelial cell proliferation and migration. Beyond its namesake role in placental vascularization, PGF has emerged as a significant factor in tumor angiogenesis and cardiovascular pathophysiology, making it a compelling target for researchers investigating cancer progression, metabolic disorders, and cardiovascular disease mechanisms.
This recombinant monoclonal antibody, clone 1B6, offers the reproducibility and consistency that demanding experimental workflows require. Generated against a synthetic peptide derived from human PLGF and produced using recombinant technology in rabbit host, this antibody provides sequence-defined specificity that eliminates the lot-to-lot variability inherent in traditional hybridoma-derived reagents. The result is reliable performance across extended studies and multi-site collaborations where experimental consistency is paramount.
Validation through immunohistochemistry demonstrates robust detection in human tissue sections, with successful staining confirmed in both colon cancer and placenta specimens. These tissue types represent biologically relevant contexts where PGF expression plays functional roles—placenta as the physiological site of high expression, and colon cancer as a model for tumor-associated angiogenesis. Working dilutions of 1:50 to 1:200 for IHC applications provide flexibility to optimize signal intensity based on your specific tissue preparation and detection system. The antibody has also been validated for ELISA applications, extending its utility for quantitative protein analysis.
Supplied in a glycerol-containing buffer optimized for long-term stability at -20°C or -80°C, this affinity-purified antibody is well-suited for researchers exploring angiogenic signaling in oncology, cardiovascular biology, and metabolic disease contexts.
