Bovine Pigment Epithelium Derived Factor ELISA Kit

Quantitative immunoassay for bovine Pigment Epithelium Derived Factor (PEDF), supplied by Antibodies.com as a 96-test microplate kit configured for veterinary and comparative biomedical research. PEDF is a 50 kDa secreted glycoprotein belonging to the serpin superfamily, first characterized in retinal pigment epithelial cells and now recognized as a multifunctional factor with anti-angiogenic, neurotrophic, and anti-tumorigenic activity. Researchers studying ocular physiology, fibrovascular proliferation, diabetic retinopathy models, and tumor microenvironment in cattle use this kit to measure circulating and tissue-level PEDF concentrations.

The assay is calibrated against bovine standards, supporting reproducible measurement of endogenous PEDF in research samples from Bos taurus. It is intended for laboratory research use only and fits workflows that require quantitative protein readout across multiple biological replicates. Each kit includes reagents sufficient for 96 determinations in microplate format, with components prepared to deliver standard curves and quality controls alongside the assay plate.

Practical applications include tracking PEDF expression in retinal and corneal tissues, characterizing angiogenesis inhibition in bovine cell culture models, monitoring systemic PEDF levels in metabolic and inflammatory studies, and supporting cross-species comparisons of serpin-family regulators. The kit is intended for research use only and is not validated for diagnostic or clinical purposes.
