Antibody DetailsProduct DetailsReactivity Species Human Host Species Goat Immunogen Purified Recombinant Human FDF-acidic (>98%) Endotoxin Level <0.1 EU/µg as determined by the LAL method Formulation This 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 5.0% w/v trehalose with no calcium, magnesium, or preservatives present. Storage and Handling The lyophilized antigen affinity purified polyclonal antibody can be stored desiccated at -20°C to -70°C for twelve months from date of receipt. 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. Country of Origin USA Shipping Next Day Ambient RRIDAB_2830103 Applications and Recommended Usage? Quality Tested by Leinco Western Blotting: To detect Human FGF Acidic this polyclonal antibody can be used at a concentration of 0.1 - 0.2 µg/ml. This polyclonal antibody should be used in conjunction with compatible second-step reagents such as PN:G505 and a chromogenic substrate such as PN:T343. The detection limit for Human FGF Acidic is 5 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 PN:E193. Other Applications Reported In Literature ? IHC (NBF/Par.): This antibody should give satisfactory staining results when used at a concentration of 1.7 µg/ml. The recommended secondary antibody for IHC is PN:G505. For chromogenic detection with high signal and low background use PN:D100 or PN:K107. Neutralization: This antibody is useful for neutralization of Human FDF-Acidic bioactivity. The antibody dose required to neutralize 50% (ND50) of the biological activity of Human FDF-Acidic (at 0.75 ng/ml) is 0.25 - 0.75 µg/ml. Each investigator should determine their own optimal working dilution for specific applications. See directions on lot specific datasheets, as information may periodically change. DescriptionSpecificity Goat Anti-Human FGF Acidic recognizes Human FGF Acidic. 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 1 (acidic), also known as 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. FGF-1 is the only member of the FGF family that binds with high affinity to all four FGF receptors.1FGF1 plays an important role in hematopoietic stem cell homeostasis. The FGF pathway regulates primitive hematopoiesis by modulating transcription factors such as Gata1 expression level and activity.2 Antigen DetailsProtein PubMed NCBI Gene Bank ID UniProt.org References & Citations1.
