Scientific Data
Cell Proliferation Induced by PDGF‑AA and Neutralization by Human PDGF R alpha Antibody. Recombinant Human PDGF-AA (Catalog # 221-AA) stimulates proliferation in the WS-1 human fetal skin fibroblast cell line in a dose-dependent manner (orange line). Proliferation elicited by Recombinant Human PDGF-AA (10 ng/mL) is neutralized (green line) by increasing concentrations of Goat Anti-Human PDGF Ra Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF-307-NA). The ND50 is typically 1-6 µg/mL.
PDGF R alpha in Human Breast Cancer Tissue. PDGF Ra was detected in immersion fixed paraffin-embedded sections of human breast cancer tissue using Goat Anti-Human PDGF Ra Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF-307-NA) at 15 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C. Tissue was stained using the Anti-Goat HRP-DAB Cell & Tissue Staining Kit (brown; Catalog # CTS008) and counterstained with hematoxylin (blue). Lower panel shows a lack of labeling if primary antibodies are omitted and tissue is stained only with secondary antibody followed by incubation with detection reagents.

PDGF R alpha in Human Ovary. PDGF Ra was detected in immersion fixed paraffin-embedded sections of human ovarian array using Goat Anti-Human PDGF Ra Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF-307-NA) at 15 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C. Tissue was stained using the Anti-Goat HRP-DAB Cell & Tissue Staining Kit (brown; Catalog # CTS008) and counterstained with hematoxylin (blue).

PDGF R alpha in Human Osteosarcoma. PDGF Ra was detected in immersion fixed paraffin-embedded sections of human osteosarcoma using Goat Anti-Human PDGF Ra Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF-307-NA) at 3 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C. Tissue was stained using the Anti-Goat HRP-DAB Cell & Tissue Staining Kit (brown; Catalog # CTS008) and counterstained with hematoxylin (blue). Specific staining was localized to plasma membranes.

Detection of Human PDGFR alpha by Immunocytochemistry/Immunofluorescence Representative light and fluorescence microscopy photomicrographs of normal human corneal sections. (A–C) CD34 immunoperoxidase‐based immunohistochemistry with haematoxylin counterstain. (A) CD34‐positive stromal cells are orderly arranged and parallel to the corneal surface. (B and C) At higher magnification, the CD34‐positive stromal cells appear as spindle‐shaped cells with a small oval body and typically two long and thin moniliform cell processes characterized by the alternation of slender segments (arrows) and knobs/dilations (arrowheads) along their length. (D–I) Double immunofluorescence labelling for CD34 (red) and PDGFR alpha (green) with DAPI (blue) counterstain for nuclei. Colocalization of CD34 and PDGFR alpha in stromal cells gives rise to yellow staining either in the anterior corneal stroma (D–F) or in the deeper corneal stromal layer (G–I). CD34+/PDGFR alpha + stromal cells display cell morphologies very evocative for telocytes: a small cell body with very long prolongations (telopodes) characterized by a moniliform silhouette with the alternation of podoms (arrowheads) and podomers (arrows). (J–L) Double immunofluorescence labelling for CD34 (red) and c‐kit (green) with DAPI (blue) counterstain for nuclei. Either in the subepithelial corneal stroma or in the deeper stromal layer, numerous CD34‐positive stromal cells coexpress c‐kit. Inset: Higher magnification view of CD34+/c‐kit+ corneal stromal cells. Scale bar: 50 μm (A, D–F and J–L), 25 μm (B, C and G–I).

Background: PDGF R alpha
PDGF is a major serum mitogen that can exist as a homo- or heterodimeric protein consisting of disulfide-linked PDGF-A and PDGF-B chains. The PDGF‑AA, PDGF‑BB, and PDGF‑AB isoforms have been shown to bind to two distinct cell surface PDGF receptors with different affinities. Whereas PDGF R alpha binds all three PDGF isoforms with high affinity, PDGF R beta binds PDGF-BB and -AB, but not PDGF-AA. Both PDGF R alpha and PDGF R beta are members of the class III subfamily of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTK) that also includes the receptors for M-CSF, SCF, and Flt-3 ligand. All class III RTKs are characterized by the presence of five immunoglobulin-like domains in their extracellular region and a split kinase domain in their intracellular region. PDGF binding induces receptor homo-and heterodimerization and signal transduction. The expression of the alpha and beta receptors is independently regulated in various cell types. Only PDGF R alpha is expressed in oligodendrocyte progenitor cells, mesothelial cell, and liver endothelial cells. Soluble PDGF R alpha has been detected in cell conditioned medium and human plasma. Recombinant soluble PDGF R alpha binds PDGF with high affinity and is a potent PDGF antagonist (1).
