SKU:: 168868-AF-BIOTIN
Purity:: Purified by Protein A/G affinity chromatography.
Storage Conditions:: -20°C
Supplier:: United States Biological
Host:: Mouse
Immunogen:: A 10-amino acid synthetic peptide (aa34-43) from human TGFα.. Cellular Localization: Cytoplasmic and secreted
Clone:: 1E8-G6
Format:: Supplied as a liquid in 10mM PBS. No preservative added. BSA-Free. Labeled with Biotin.
Extra Details:: This antibody reacts with the TGF alpha and shows no cross-reaction with EGF and the neuropeptide synenkephalin. The staining with this MAb is completely blocked by the peptide used for raising this antibody. TGFα (aa50) is a growth factor with 33% homology to EGF, binds to EGFR, activates tyrosine phosphorylation of the receptor, and stimulates cell proliferation. It plays a role in tumor initiation by inducing the reversible transformed phenotype. Applications: Suitable for use in Immunofluorescence, ELISA, Flow Cytometry, Immunoprecipitation, Immunohistochemistry. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Flow Cytometry: 0.5-1ug/million cells Immunofluorescence: 1-2ug/ml Immunoprecipitation: 1-2ug/500ug protein Immunohistochemistry: Frozen & Formalin-paraffin: 1-2ug/ml for 30 min at RT (Staining of formalin-fixed tissues requires boiling tissue sections in 10mM Citrate Buffer, pH 6.0, for 10-20 min followed by cooling at RT for 20 minutes Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Positive Control: Jurkat or Ramos cells, Heart, Kidney, Pituitary, Breast cancer, Melanoma Storage and Stability: Store product at 4°C if to be used immediately within two weeks. For long-term storage, aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing and store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable at -20°C for 12 months after receipt. Dilute required amount only prior to immediate use. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Note: Applications are based on unconjugated antibody.
