Description
Specificity:
Goat Anti-Human Fibroblast Growth Factor 6 (FGF-6) recognizes Human FGF-6. This antigen affinity purified polyclonal antibody was purified using a proprietary chromatographic technique that includes covalently immobilizing the antigen proteins or peptides to agarose based beads. This purification method enhances specificity, reduces nonspecific binding of extraneous IgG and provides you with the most reliable reagent available for your early discovery research.

Background:
Fibroblast growth factor 6, also known as FGF6, hst-2 or hst-1-related is a member of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family. 1,2 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. FGF6 is the only known member of the FGF family whose expression is restricted to the muscle cell lineage during development, suggesting it may have a role in myogenesis.3 FGF6 has a dual function in muscle regeneration, stimulating myoblast proliferation/migration and muscle differentiation/hypertrophy.4

Known Species Cross Reactivity: Hu+
Immunogen
Purified Recombinant Human FGF-6 (>98%)
Formulation
This biotinylated antigen affinity purified polyclonal antibody has been 0.2 µm filtered and lyophilized from modified Dulbecco’s phosphate buffered saline (1X PBS) pH 7.2 – 7.3 containing 50 µg of bovine serum albumin per µg of antibody with no calcium, magnesium, or preservatives present.
Reconstitution
We suggest aseptically reconstituting this biotinylated, lyophilized, antigen affinity purified polyclonal antibody with 1 ml of sterile 20 mM Trizma base, 0.15 M sodium chloride (1X Tris Buffered Saline) pH 7.2-7.3, containing 0.1% w/v bovine serum albumin (BSA). This will result in a final biotinylated antibody concentration of 50 µg/ml.
Storage and Stability
The lyophilized, biotinylated antigen affinity purified polyclonal antibody can be stored desiccated at -20°C to -70°C for up to twelve months from date of receipt. The reconstituted bioin conjugate can be stored for at least four weeks at 2-8°C. For long-term storage of the reconstituted conjugate, 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
ELISA Det, WB,
Western Blotting: To detect Human FGF-6 this biotin conjugate can be used at a concentration of 0.1 - 0.2 µg/ml. This biotin conjugate should be used in conjunction with compatible second-step reagents such as UltraAvidin™- Horseradish Peroxidase (HRPO) (Leinco Prod. No.: A106) 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-6 is 2 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-6 (Leinco Prod. No.: F121).
ELISA Sandwich Assay: This antibody can be used as the detection antibody in a sandwich ELISA at a concentration of approximately 0.1-0.4 µg/ml when used in conjunction with Anti-Human FGF-6 (Leinco Prod. No.: F1067) as the capture antibody at 1-2 µg/ml and an optimal second step reagent such as UltraAvidin™- Horseradish Peroxidase (HRPO) (Leinco Prod. No.: A106) for the detection of Human FGF-6.
Each investigator should determine their own optimal working dilution for specific applications.
