Procurement and Preparation of Growth Factors

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All GFs and chemokines were purchased in their mature forms, highly pure (>95% pure), carrier-free, and lyophilized35 (link). VEGF-A121, VEGF-A165, PlGF-1, PlGF-2, PDGF-AA, PDGF-BB, PDGF-CC, PDGF-DD, FGF-1, FGF-2, FGF-6, FGF-7, FGF-9, FGF-10, FGF-18, BMP-2, BMP-3, BMP-4, BMP-7, β-NGF, NT-3, BDNF, IGF-1, IGF-2, HB-EGF, CXCL-11, and CXCL-12α were purchased from PeproTech. CXCL-12γ was purchased from R&D systems. Except for PDGF-DD and BMP-7, which were produced in eukaryotic cells, all GFs were produced in Escherichia coli and thus were not glycosylated. All GFs were reconstituted and stored according to the provider’s instructions to regain full activity and prevent loss of protein.

PDGF Induces Blood-Brain Barrier Opening

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols

Example 1

Wild type C57BL6 mice (10 Week old) were injected intraventricularly into the dorsal third ventricle with 2 μl of PBS, active PDGF-AA, PDGF-BB (both from Preprotech Inc.) and PDGF-CC (see below) (3 μM). Evans Blue was given intravenously immediately after the injection. One hour after the injection, the animals were perfused with PBS and the brain tissue was removed and processed for Evans Blue extravasation.

As shown in FIG. 1, all three PDGFs, in the CSF, are potent inducers of opening of the BBB.

The growth factor cocktail consists of recombinant human platelet-derived growth factor-CC (PDGF-CC; PeproTech, Rocky Hill, NJ, USA), recombinant heparin-binding epidermal growth factor-like growth factor (HB-EGF; PeproTech), and human recombinant Midkine (MDK; PeproTech).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
