Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody targets platelet-derived growth factor subunit B (gene PDGFB) in human, mouse and rat samples and is validated for Western blot. The predicted molecular weight is 27.3 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 27 kDa.
PDGF-B is a growth factor that forms PDGF-BB homodimers or PDGF-AB heterodimers and signals through PDGF receptors. It is a strong mitogen for fibroblasts and smooth muscle cells, recruits pericytes to new blood vessels and contributes to wound healing.

|---|---|
| Host / Clonality / Isotype | Rabbit / Polyclonal / Rabbit IgG |
| Reactivity | Human, Mouse, Rat |
| Form | Lyophilized |
| Formulation | Per vial: 4 mg trehalose; 0.9 mg NaCl; 0.2 mg Na2HPO4; 0.05 mg NaN3 |
| Calculated MW | 27.3 kDa |

Validated Applications
| Western blot | 0.1–0.5 µg/mL (Mouse, Rat, Human) |
|---|
Samples with a confirmed band (WB): rat brain tissue, mouse brain tissue.
Recommended loading (WB): 20–40 µg of total protein per lane.
Conditions in the example images (WB): 5–20% gradient SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions, 50 µg lysate per lane, transfer to nitrocellulose membrane, blocking in 5% non-fat milk, primary antibody at 0.5 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C, HRP-conjugated secondary antibody at 1:10000, ECL detection.
Immunogen
Synthetic peptide from the C-terminal region of human PDGF beta. It differs from the mouse and rat sequences at three residues.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with human, mouse and rat. UniProt describes platelet-derived growth factor subunit B as a secreted protein. Tissue expression noted by UniProt (human): Expressed at high levels in the heart, brain (sustantia nigra), placenta and fetal kidney. The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.
