Product Details anti-FGF2 Antibody

Specificity: The antibody will detect FGF-2 (basic).

Purification: Protein A affinity chromatography

Immunogen: Highly pure (> 98%) recombinant human FGF-2 (basic)

Application Details

Application Notes: Neutralization: To yield one-half maximal inhibition (ND50) of the biological activity of human FGF-2 basic(5 ng/mL) on HUVEC cells, a concentration of about 3.5 μg/mL of this antibody is required. Western Blot: To detect human FGF-2 basic by Western blot this antibody can be used at a concentrationof 0.1 - 0.2 μg/mL. Used in conjunction with compatible secondary reagents the detectionlimit for recombinant human FGF-2 (basic) is 1.5 -3.0 ng/lane, under either reducing ornon-reducing conditions.
Other applications not tested.
Optimal dilutions are dependent on conditions and should be determined by the user.

Target Details for FGF2

Target: FGF2 (Fibroblast Growth Factor 2 (Basic) (FGF2))

Alternative Name: FGF Basic / FGF2

Background: FGF basic (FGF2) is a member of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family. FGF family members bind heparin and possess broad mitogenic and angiogenic activities. FGF2 is involved in diverse biological processes, such as limb and nervous system development, wound healing, and tumor growth. FGF2 mRNA contains multiple polyadenylation sites, and is alternatively translated from AUG and non-AUG (CUG) initiation codons resulting in five different isoforms with distinct properties. The CUG-initiated isoforms are localized in the nucleus and are responsible for the intracrine effect, whereas, the AUG-initiated form is mostly cytosolic and is responsible for the paracrine and autocrine effects of this FGF.Synonyms: BFGF, FGFB, Fibroblast growth factor 2 (basic), HBGF-2, HBGF2, Heparin-binding growth factor 2
