FGF1 Polyclonal Antibody, PeproTech®, Invitrogen™

Description

AA Sequence of recombinant protein: MFNLPPGNYK KPKLLYCSNG GHFLRILPDG TVDGTRDRSD QHIQLQLSAE SVGEVYIKST ETGQYLAMDT DGLLYGSQTP NEECLFLERL EENHYNTYIS KKHAEKNWFV GLKKNGSCKR GPRTHYGQKA ILFLPLPVSS D. Preparation: Produced from sera of rabbits immunized with highly pure Recombinant Human FGF-acidic. Anti-Human FGF-acidic-specific antibody was purified by affinity chromatography employing an immobilized Human FGF-acidic matrix. Sandwich ELISA: To detect Human FGF-acidic by sandwich ELISA (using 100 μL/well antibody solution) a concentration of 0.5-2.0 μg/mL of this antibody is required. This antigen affinity purified antibody, in conjunction with PeproTech Biotinylated Anti-Human FGF-acidic (500-P17Bt) as a detection antibody, allows the detection of at least 0.2-0.4 ng/well of Recombinant Human FGF-acidic. Western Blot: To detect Human FGF-acidic by Western Blot analysis this antibody can be used at a concentration of 0.1-0.2 μg/mL. When used in conjunction with compatible secondary reagents, the detection limit for Recombinant Human FGF-acidic is 1.5-3.0 ng/lane, under either reducing or non-reducing conditions.

FGF1 is a member of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family. FGF family members possess broad mitogenic and cell survival activities, and are involved in a variety of biological processes, including embryonic development, cell growth, morphogenesis, tissue repair, tumor growth and invasion. This protein functions as a modifier of endothelial cell migration and proliferation, as well as an angiogenic factor. It acts as a mitogen for a variety of mesoderm- and neuroectoderm-derived cells in vitro, thus is thought to be involved in organogenesis.
