PDGF-BB (Platelet-Derived Growth Factor BB) is a homodimeric molecule expressed by hepatocytes and nonresorbing osteoclasts, and it promotes osteoblast development and bone formation. It is also produced by platelets, macrophages, and mast cells. At sites of injury, it promotes neutrophil and macrophage infiltration for debridement, fibroblast secretion of new extracellular matrix, and IGF-I-mediated re-epithelialization. The traditional receptor for PDGF is either a homodimer or heterodimer created from two type I transmembrane RTKs, PDGF R alpha and PDGF R beta. PDGF-BB has been shown to bind the alpha/alpha homodimer, alpha/beta heterodimer, and the beta/beta homodimer in vitro, and act through the beta/beta homodimer in vivo.

Precision
Intra-Assay Precision (Precision within an assay) Three samples of known concentration were tested on one plate to assess intra-assay precision.
Inter-Assay Precision (Precision between assays) Three samples of known concentration were tested in separate assays to assess inter-assay precision.

Recovery for Human PDGF-BB Quantikine ELISA Kit
The recovery of PDGF-BB spiked to three different levels throughout the range of the assay in various matrices was evaluated.
| Sample Type | Average % Recovery | Range % |
|---|---|---|
| Cell Culture Media (n=4) | 94 | 86-102 |
| Platelet-poor EDTA Plasma (n=6) | 101 | 88-115 |
| Platelet-poor Heparin Plasma (n=6) | 103 | 89-112 |
| Serum (n=6) | 102 | 93-114 |
Linearity
To assess the linearity of the assay, samples containing or spiked with high concentrations of PDGF-BB were diluted with the appropriate Calibrator Diluent to produce samples with values within the dynamic range of the assay.

Protocols
View specific protocols for Human PDGF-BB Quantikine ELISA Kit (DBB00):
- Prepare all reagents, standard dilutions, and samples as directed in the product insert.
- Remove excess microplate strips from the plate frame, return them to the foil pouch containing the desiccant pack, and reseal.
- Add 100 µL of Assay Diluent to each well.
- Add 100 µL of Standard, control, or sample to each well. Cover with a plate sealer, and incubate at room temperature for 2 hours.
- Aspirate each well and wash, repeating the process 3 times for a total of 4 washes.
- Add 200 µL of Conjugate to each well.
- For Cell Culture Supernate Samples: Cover with a new plate sealer, and incubate at room temperature for 1.5 hours.
For Serum & Plasma Samples: Cover with a new plate sealer, and incubate at room temperature for 2 hours. - Aspirate and wash 4 times.
- Add 200 µL Substrate Solution to each well. Incubate at room temperature for 30 minutes. PROTECT FROM LIGHT.
- Add 50 µL of Stop Solution to each well. Read at 450 nm within 30 minutes. Set wavelength correction to 540 nm or 570 nm.
