Product Details anti-TGFA Antibody

Specificity: This antibody reacts with Transforming Growth Factor alpha.

Purification: Affinity chromatography.

Immunogen: Highly pure (>98%) recombinant hTGF-alpha

Application Details

Application Notes: Neutralization: To yield one-half maximal inhibition [ND50] of the biological activity ofhTGF-α (0.5 ng/mL), a concentration of 2.5-2.7 μg/mL of this antibody is required. ELISA: (Indirect): To detect hTGF-α by indirect ELISA (using 100 μL/well antibody solution) aconcentration of 0.5-2.0 μg/mL of this antibody is required. This antigen affinity purifiedantibody, in conjunction with compatible secondary reagents, allows the detection of atleast 0.2-0.4 ng/well of recombinant hTGF-α. (Sandwich): To detect hTGF-α by sandwich ELISA (using 100 μL/well antibody solution) aconcentration of 0.5-2.0 μg/mL of this antibody is required. This antigen affinity purifiedantibody, in conjunction with Biotinylated Anti-Human TGF-α (PP1070B1 or PP1070B2) as adetection antibody, allows the detection of at least 0.2-0.4 ng/well of recombinant hTGF-α. Western Blot: To detect hTGF-α by Western Blot analysis this antibody can be used at aconcentration of 0.1-0.2 μg/mL. Used in conjunction with compatible secondary reagentsthe detection limit for recombinant hTGF-α 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.

Restrictions: For Research Use only
