Preparation: Produced from sera of rabbits immunized with highly pure Recombinant Human PEDF. Anti-Human PEDF-specific antibody was purified by affinity chromatography employing an immobilized Human PEDF matrix.
Sandwich ELISA: To detect Human PEDF by sandwich ELISA (using 100 µL/well) a concentration of 0.25-1.0 µg/mL of this antibody is required. This biotinylated polyclonal antibody, in conjunction with PeproTech Polyclonal Anti-Human PEDF (500-P263) as a capture antibody, allows the detection of at least 2000-4000 pg/mL of Recombinant Human PEDF.
Western Blot: To detect Human PEDF by Western Blot analysis this antibody can be used at a concentration of 0.1-0.2 µg/mL. When used in conjunction with compatible development reagents the detection limit for Recombinant Human PEDF is 1.5-3.0 ng/lane, under either reducing or non-reducing conditions.
PEDF is a noninhibitory serpin with neurotrophic, anti-angiogenic, and anti-tumorigenic properties. It is a 50 kDa glycoprotein produced and secreted in many tissues throughout the body. A major component of the anti-angiogenic action of PEDF is the induction of apoptosis in proliferating endothelial cells. In addition, PEDF is able to inhibit the activity of angiogenic factors, such as VEGF and FGF-2. The neuroprotective effects of PEDF are achieved through suppression of neuronal apoptosis induced by peroxide, glutamate, or other neurotoxins. The recent identification of a lipase-linked cell membrane receptor for PEDF (PEDF-R) that binds to PEDF with high affinity (1) should facilitate further elucidation of the underlying mechanisms of this pluripotent serpin. To date, PEDF-R is the only signaling receptor known to be used by a serpin family member. The unique range of PEDF activities implicate it as a potential therapeutic agent for the treatment of vasculature-related neurodegenerative diseases, such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR). PEDF also has the potential to be useful in the treatment of various angiogenesis-related diseases including a number of cancers.
