Growth factors are signaling proteins that promote cell growth, mobility, survival and differentiation. The levels of growth factors in serum/plasma can be used as indicators or cellular processes and disease states.

The WideScreen™ Human Cancer Panel 2 (Growth Factors) is a pre-mixed multiplex bead kit of quantitative antibody-based assays for simultaneous detection of twelve human growth factors in biological fluids: amphiregulin, betacellulin, EGF, EGFR, epiregulin, FGF-basic, HB-EGF, PDGF-BB, PlGF, tenascin C, TGF-a, and VEGF. The kit includes all the reagents and buffers needed to analyze the above proteins in serum, plasma, and tissue culture supernatants using the Luminex® xMAP® System.

The WideScreen™ Human Cancer Panel 2 uses the same reagents and technologies developed by Rules Based Medicine for the use in their industry-leading biomarker testing service along with the expertise of Novagen in commercializing and supporting high value products. Accordingly, the kits are supplied with the highest quality and relevant validation data, ensuring that each assay kit meets the stringent quality and performance required in today's demanding research environment.
