Product Information
KE00252 is a solid phase sandwich Enzyme Linked-Immuno-Sorbent Assay (Sandwich ELISA). The VEGF-C ELISA kit is to be used to detect and quantify protein levels of endogenous VEGF-C. The assay recognizes human VEGF-C. An antibody specific for VEGF-C has been pre-coated onto the microwells. The VEGF-C protein in samples is captured by the coated antibody after incubation. Following extensive washing, another antibody of biotinylated specific for human VEGF-C is added to detect the captured human VEGF-C protein. For signal development, Streptavidin-HRP is added, followed by Tetramethyl-benzidine (TMB) reagent. Solution containing sulfuric acid is used to stop color development and the color intensity which is proportional to the quantity of bound protein is measurable at 450 nm with the correction wavelength set at 630 nm.

Background Information
Vascular endothelial growth factor C (VEGF-C) is a protein that is a member of the platelet-derived growth factor / vascular endothelial growth factor (PDGF/VEGF) family. The main function of VEGF-C is to promote the growth of lymphatic vessels (lymphangiogenesis). It acts on lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) primarily via its receptor VEGFR-3 promoting survival, growth and migration. Apart from vascular targets, VEGF-C is also important for neural development and blood pressure regulation.
