FGF-9
Reactivity: Human
WB, ELISA
Host: Rabbit
Polyclonal
unconjugated
Application Notes
ELISA: (Direct): To detect mFGF-9 by direct ELISA (using 100 μL/well antibody solution) aconcentration of 0.25-1.0 μg/mL of this antibody is required. This biotinylated polyclonalantibody, in conjunction with compatible secondary reagents, allows the detection of atleast 0.2- 0.4 ng/well of recombinant mFGF-9. (Sandwich): To detect mFGF-9 by sandwich ELISA (using 100 μL/well antibody solution) aconcentration of 0.25-1.0 μg/mL of this antibody is required. This biotinylated polyclonalantibody, in conjunction with Polyclonal Anti-Murine FGF-9 (PP002P) as a captureantibody, allows the detection of at least 0.2-0.4 ng/well of recombinant mFGF-9. Western Blot: To detect mFGF-9 by Western Blot analysis this antibody can be used at a concentration of0.1-0.2 μg/mL. Used in conjunction with compatible secondary reagents the detection limitfor recombinant mFGF-9 is 1.5-3.0 ng/lane, under either reducing or non-reducingconditions. Other applications not tested. Optimal dilutions are dependent on conditions and should be determined by the user.

Background
FGF9 is a heparin binding growth factor, which is a member of the FGF family of proteins. 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. FGF9 is produced mainly by neurons and may have a role in glial cell growth and differentiation during development, gliosis during repair and regeneration of brain tissue after damage, differentiation and survival of neuronal cells, and growth stimulation of glial tumors.Synonyms: Fibroblast growth factor 9, GAF, Glia-activating factor, HBGF9, Heparin-binding growth factor 9
