Clone: TAb2

Product Details anti-TGFA Antibody

Purpose: Anti-TGFalpha [tAb2], Rabbit IgG, kappa

Specificity: TAb2 binds the N-terminal sequence of transforming growth factor alpha, VVSHFND (with residues 4 to 7 being the minimal binding epitope).

Characteristics:

Original Species of Ab: Mouse

Original Format of Ab: IgG2a

Purification: Protein A affinity purified

Immunogen: Biologically active hemocyanin-coupled human TGFalpha.

Isotype: IgG kappa

Application Details

Application Notes: Human transforming growth factora (TGFa) consists of 50 amino acid residues with three disulphide bridges. It belongs to the family of epidermal growth factor related peptides and binds to EGFreceptor. It is involved in cell proliferation in healthy cells and is found in various cancer cells. Transfection of Fibroblasts with the TGFa gene induces tumor formation.

Comment:

This chimeric rabbit antibody was made using the variable domain sequences of the original Mouse IgG1 format, for improved compatibility with existing reagents, assays and techniques.
