Lumit® VEGF-A (Human) Immunoassay

Quantify VEGF-A Release in Less Than 70 Minutes

Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor A (VEGF-A), a multifunctional cytokine, is important for normal development and the maintenance of the vascular and lymphatic systems. It is produced by many cells, including endothelial cells, macrophages and activated T cells. While VEGF-A plays a beneficial role in wound healing, its dysregulation contributes to tumorigenesis and vascular disease in various parts of the body.

The Lumit® VEGF-A Immunoassay quantitatively measures released VEGF-A in cell culture samples using a simple, no-wash protocol. Just add labeled antibodies to the sample, add detection reagent and read luminescent signal using a standard plate-reading luminometer—the entire protocol is completed in less than 70 minutes. Use the assay directly on cells in culture or culture medium transferred to a separate assay plate.

Note: The total number of assays per kit will vary based on final well volume.

For standard well volumes:

  • 100 assay kits: applicable for 100 assays in 96-well plates or 400 assays in 384-well plates.
  • 500 assay kits: applicable for 500 assays in 96-well plates or 2,000 assays in 384-well plates.
  • 1,000 assay kits: applicable for 1,000 assays in 96-well plates or 4,000 assays in 384-well plates.

How the Lumit® VEGF-A Immunoassay Works

Primary antibodies to VEGF-A were selected for their specific and sensitive detection and labeled with the LgBiT and SmBiT subunits of NanoBiT® Luciferase. In the presence of VEGF-A, the subunits come together to form an active luciferase enzyme. Addition of optimized substrate generates a bright luminescent signal proportional to VEGF-A levels. The assay recognizes human VEGF-A, but not mouse or rat VEGF-A. It is specific for VEGF-A (121, 165 and 183) and does not cross-react with VEGF-B, -C and -D family members.
