Description
Specificity:
Mouse Anti-Human Fibroblast Growth Factor 17 (FGF-17) (Clone 121630) recognizes an epitope on Human FGF-17. This monoclonal antibody was purified using multi-step affinity chromatography methods such as Protein A or G depending on the species and isotype.

Background:
Fibroblast growth factor 17, also known as FGF17 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. FGF-17 is most similar to FGF-8 and is highly conserved between mouse and human (93 % identity).1,2 FGF17 is required for several complex social behaviors and studies suggest that disturbances in FGF17 signaling may contribute to neuropsychiatric diseases that affect such behaviors.3

Known Species Cross Reactivity: Hu+
Host Species
Mouse
Immunogen
Purified Recombinant Human FGF-17 (>98%)
Formulation
This monoclonal antibody has been 0.2 µm filtered and lyophilized from modified Dulbecco's phosphate buffered saline (1X PBS) pH 7.2 - 7.3 containing 5.0% w/v trehalose with no calcium, magnesium or preservatives present.
Reconstitution
This lyophilized antibody may be aseptically reconstituted with sterile PBS to a final volume of 1.0 ml. This will result in a final antibody concentration of 500 µg/ml.
Endotoxin
<0.1 EU/µg as determined by the LAL method
Storage and Stability
The lyophilized antibody can be stored desiccated at -20°C to -70°C for up to twelve months. The reconstituted antibody can be stored for at least four weeks at 2-8°C. For long-term storage of the reconstituted antibody, aseptically aliquot into working volumes and store at -20°C to -70°C in a manual defrost freezer. Avoid repeated freeze thaw cycles. No detectable loss of activity was observed after six months.
Reported Applications
Indirect ELISA, IHC (NBF/Par.), WB
Indirect ELISA: This antibody can be used in an indirect detection ELISA at 0.5 - 1.0 µg/ml with a suitable second step reagent such as Goat Anti-Mouse IgG (H&L)-Horseradish Peroxidase (Leinco Prod. No.: M114). The detection sensitivity of this indirect ELISA for Human FGF-17 is approximately 3.0 ng/well.
IHC (NBF/Par.): This antibody should give satisfactory staining results when used at a concentration of 8.0 µg/ml. The recommended secondary antibody for IHC is Goat Anti-Mouse IgG (H&L)-Horseradish Peroxidase (Leinco Prod. No.: M114). For chromogenic detection with high signal and low background use 3, 3'-Diaminobenzidine Tetrahydrochloride (DAB) Substrate Kit (Leinco Prod. No.: D100) or Optional Metal Enhanced DAB Substrate Kit (Leinco Prod. No.: K107).
Western Blotting: To detect Human FGF-17 this monoclonal antibody can be used at a concentration of 1-2 µg/ml. This monoclonal antibody should be used in conjunction with compatible second-step reagents such as Goat Anti-Mouse IgG (H&L)-Horseradish Peroxidase (Leinco Prod. No.: M114) and a chromogenic substrate such as TMB HRPO Membrane/IHC Substrate UltraSensitive™ One Component "Ready Use" (Leinco Prod. No.: T343). The detection limit for Human FGF-17 is 2.0 ng/lane under either reducing or non-reducing conditions. The sensitivity of detection may increase up to 50 fold when a chemiluminescent substrate is used. A suitable Western blotting control is Recombinant Human FGF-17 (Leinco Prod. No.: F126).
Each investigator should determine their own optimal working dilution for specific applications.
