SKU:: 168871-AF-FITC
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 (TG86 and P/T1). Cellular Localization: Cytoplasmic and secreted
Clone:: TG86+P/T1
Format:: Supplied as a liquid in 10mM PBS. No preservative added. BSA-Free. Labeled with Fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC).
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, 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 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. Caution: FITC conjugates are sensitive to light. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Note: Applications are based on unconjugated antibody.
