Human PEDF ELISA Kit (ab246535) is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of PEDF protein in cell culture supernatant, cit plasma, and serum. It uses our proprietary SimpleStep ELISA® technology. Quantitate Human PEDF with 146 pg/ml sensitivity.
SimpleStep ELISA® technology employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody used to coat our SimpleStep ELISA® plates. This approach to sandwich ELISA allows the formation of the antibody-analyte sandwich complex in a single step, significantly reducing assay time. See the SimpleStep ELISA® protocol summary in the image section for further details. Our SimpleStep ELISA® technology provides several benefits:
- Single-wash protocol reduces assay time to 90 minutes or less
- High sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility from superior antibodies
- Fully validated in biological samples
- 96-wells plate breakable into 12 x 8 wells strips
A 384-well SimpleStep ELISA® microplate (Pre-coated 384 well Microplate SimpleStep ELISA® ab203359) is available to use as an alternative to the 96-well microplate provided with SimpleStep ELISA® kits.
PEDF also known as pigment epithelium-derived factor is a secreted glycoprotein with a mass of approximately 50 kDa. Its expression is highest in the retina and also occurs in several other tissues including liver and brain. PEDF has neurotrophic and neuroprotective properties. The PEDF protein works mechanically by interacting with receptors on cell surfaces to inhibit angiogenesis and promote neuronal survival and differentiation.
PEDF plays a significant role in controlling angiogenesis due to its ability to inhibit excessive blood vessel formation. This makes PEDF essential in balancing the vasculature and nutrient availability in tissues. While PEDF does not form part of a larger protein complex its activity influences the biological interplay between cells by stabilizing the extracellular matrix and influencing cell signaling pathways involved in maintaining tissue homeostasis.
PEDF interacts directly within the angiogenesis and neuroprotection pathways influencing cellular processes critical for normal tissue function. In angiogenesis PEDF disrupts the VEGF pathway by serving as an inhibitor thereby restricting uncontrolled vessel growth. It also plays a role in neuroprotection pathways where it cooperates with proteins like nerve growth factor to enhance neuronal survival and repair processes.
PEDF relates significantly to diabetic retinopathy and cancer. PEDF's angiogenesis inhibition has therapeutic implications in diabetic retinopathy where unregulated blood vessel growth leads to vision loss. It also shows potential in cancer therapy by targeting tumor angiogenesis. In both conditions its interaction with VEGF is notable as it competes to modulate angiogenesis with potential consequences for disease progression and treatment strategies.

Example of human PEDF standard curve in Sample Diluent NS with Enhancer.
The PEDF standard curve was prepared as described in Section 10. Raw data values are shown in the table. Background-subtracted data values (mean +/- SD) are graphed.
Interpolated concentrations of native PEDF in human serum, plasma-citrate and HEPG2 cell culture supernatant samples.
The concentrations of PEDF were measured in duplicates, interpolated from the PEDF standard curves and corrected for sample dilution. Undiluted samples are as follows: serum 1:1000, plasma (citrate) 1:1000, and HEPG2 cell culture supernatant 5%. The interpolated dilution factor corrected values are plotted (mean +/- SD, n=2). The mean PEDF concentration was determined to be 22.3 μg/mL in serum, 19.87 μg/mL in plasma (citrate) and 0.448 μg/mL in and HEPG2 cell culture supernatant.
