Hu Recom PDGF-AA, ACF, 1000 µg

STEMCELL Technologies supplies this recombinant human PDGF-AA growth factor in an animal component-free (ACF) formulation, manufactured to support cell culture workflows that demand defined, xeno-compatible inputs. As a homodimeric AA isoform, PDGF-AA drives mitogenic signaling in mesenchymal stem cells, mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs), fibroblasts, smooth muscle cells, and osteoblast precursors, making it a staple supplement for expansion and differentiation protocols in regenerative medicine, vascular biology, and connective tissue research.

Typical working concentrations fall in the 5–50 ng/mL range when added to serum-free or chemically defined media. The format ships in a single vial containing 1000 µg of protein, allowing multiple small-volume aliquots that limit freeze-thaw cycles. Each lot is verified for biological activity, and because the protein is produced without animal-derived components, it integrates cleanly into translational pipelines where traceability of raw materials matters.

Researchers commonly pair this cytokine with TGF-β, FGF-2, or EGF to sustain proliferation of bone marrow-derived MSCs, to support periodontal ligament and tenocyte outgrowth, or to model PDGF receptor signaling in vitro. Store the vial frozen at -20°C, protect from light, and aliquot upon first thaw to preserve activity across long projects.
