Background of VEGFA
Vascular permeability factor/vascular endothelial growth factor (VPF/VEGF), a potent cytokine expressed by most malignant tumors, has critical roles in vasculogenesis and both physiological and pathological angiogenesis. VEGF produced by tumor cells potently stimulates endothelial cell proliferation and angiogenesis and plays a key role in the pathophysiology of several neoplasias. VEGF may also play a pivotal role in mediating the development and progression of diabetic retinopathy. VEGF, a major regulator of angiogenesis, binds to two receptor tyrosine kinases, KDR/Flk-1 and Flt-1.The VEGF gene is mapped by fluorescence in situ hybridization to chromosome 6p12. The standard product used in this kit is recombinant mouse VEGF164, a 42KDa dimer.

Intra Assay Consistency & Inter Assay Consistency
We measured random samples of Mouse VEGF ELISA Kit PicoKine® within the same batch/lot to ensure the consistency of the kits' performances. ELISA intra assay consistency is measured using wells from the same plate/assay kit. ELISA inter assay consistency is measured using wells from different plates from the same batch production/lot.

Question
Q: how to thaw whole blood sample for VEGFA ELISA after freezing?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2018-04-07
Answer
A: do not freeze and thaw whole blood. erythrocytes are fragile and, if frozen and thawed, will undergo hemolysis rendering the samples useless. To keep your blood samples to test VEGFA for a later time, you should let the blood clot in glass tubes and separate the serum to freeze for later analysis.

Question
Q: can I use EDTA plasma as samples in Mouse VEGFA Picokine® ELISA Kit (Catalog # EK0541)?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2018-01-27
Answer
A: Chelating agents such as EDTA, Heparin and Citrate can bind metal ions from the functional domain of VEGFA causing degradation of its protein structure. VEGFA may be denatured as a result and may compromise the assay's measurements. The chilating sites could also be too close to the epitopes needed for detection and block the antigen antibody reaction. We have tested the VEGFA ELISA, treating samples with different anticoagulants and decided that heparin, EDTA or citrate can be used for treatment of blood/plasma samples. Do not use other anticoagulents when collecting samples.

Question
Q: for how much duration can samples (cell cultures, serum, and plasma) be stored and still be stable for measuring VEGFA using the EK0541 Mouse VEGFA Picokine® ELISA Kit?
D. Banerjee
Verified customer
Asked: 2017-03-26
Answer
A: Boster Bio does not assess sample stability. Variations in sample collection, processing, and storage may affect the stabilityof samples. It is recommend to assay sample on priority basis collection when possible, or aliquot into single use volumes and store samples frozen. avoid repetitive freeze-thaw cycles with the stored samples to avoid protein degradation.
