Description
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 and then biotinylated.
Sandwich ELISA: To detect hFGF-acidic by sandwich ELISA (using 100 µL/well antibody solution) a concentration of 0.25-1.0 µg/mL of this antibody is required. This biotinylated polyclonal antibody, in conjunction with PeproTech Polyclonal Anti-Human FGF-acidic (500-P17) as a capture antibody, allows the detection of at least 0.2-0.4 ng/well of Recombinant hFGF-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. 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.
Target Information
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.
