Tovetumab ELISA Kit

Tovetumab ELISA Kit is a quantitative ELISA kit for detection of Tovetumab.

Tovetumab (MEDI-575) is a fully human IgG2κ monoclonal antibody that specifically binds to human platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha (PDGFRα) and blocks receptor signal transduction by PDGF ligands. The affinity of tovetumab determined using surface plasmon resonance technology and flow cytometry demonstrated comparable binding affinity for human and monkey PDGFRα. In single and repeat-dose monkey pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic (PK-PD) studies, tovetumab administration resulted in dose-dependent elevation of circulating levels of PDGF-AA, a member of the PDGF ligand family, due to displacement of PDGF-AA from PDGFRα by tovetumab and subsequent blockade of PDGFRα-mediated PDGF-AA degradation. As such, PDGF-AA accumulation is an indirect measurement of receptor occupancy and is a novel PD biomarker for tovetumab. The nonlinear PK of tovetumab and dose-dependent increase in circulating PDGF-AA profiles were well described by a novel mechanistic model, in which tovetumab and PDGF-AA compete for the binding to PDGFRα.

Target	Tovetumab
Reactivity	Human
Tested Applications	ELISA
Recommended dilutions	Optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.
Storage	Shipped at 4 °C. Upon receipt, store the kit according to the storage instruction in the kit's manual.
Validity	The validity for this kit is 6 months.
Stability	The stability of the kit is determined by the rate of activity loss. The loss rate is less than 5% within the expiration date under appropriate storage conditions. To minimize performance fluctuations, operation procedures and lab conditions should be strictly controlled. It is also strongly suggested that the whole assay is performed by the same user throughout.

Sample Type	Serum and plasma.
CAS Number	1243266-04-7
Availability	Shipped within 10-20 working days.
Note	This product is for research use only. The range and sensitivity is subject to change. Please contact us for the latest product information. For accurate results, sample concentrations must be diluted to mid-range of the kit. If you require a specific range, please contact us in advance or write your request in your order comments. Please note that our ELISA and CLIA kits are optimised for detection of native samples, rather than recombinant proteins. We are unable to guarantee detection of recombinant proteins, as they may have different sequences or tertiary structures to the native protein.
