Used in biomedical research to quantify levels of soluble platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha in biological samples. Helps in studying cell signaling pathways related to tissue repair, angiogenesis, and fibrosis. Commonly applied in preclinical studies involving inflammation, wound healing, and cancer progression. Enables researchers to assess receptor shedding and its role in modulating PDGF activity. Suitable for use with serum, plasma, and cell culture supernatants. Provides a reliable tool for monitoring disease mechanisms and evaluating therapeutic interventions in rodent models.
