Quick Overview for TGFA antibody (AA 34-43) (CF®740) (ABIN7661057)

Target: TGFA (Transforming Growth Factor, alpha (TGFA))

Reactivity: Human, Rabbit, Zebrafish (Danio rerio)

Host: Mouse

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This TGFA antibody is conjugated to CF®740

Application: Immunohistochemistry (IHC), Immunohistochemistry (Formalin-fixed Paraffin-embedded Sections) (IHC (fp))

Clone: TG86

Product Details anti-TGFA Antibody (CF®740)

Binding Specificity: AA 34-43

Purpose: TGFalpha(TG86), CF740 conjugate

Characteristics: 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. TGF-beta (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.Primary antibodies are available purified, or with a selection of fluorescent CF® Dyes and other labels. CF® Dyes offer exceptional brightness and photostability. Note: Conjugates of blue fluorescent dyes like CF®405S and CF®405M are not recommended for detecting low abundance targets, because blue dyes have lower fluorescence and can give higher non-specific background than other dye colors.

Immunogen: A 10-amino acid synthetic peptide (aa34-43, PPVAAAVVSH) from human TGF?.

Isotype: IgG1, kappa

Application Details

Application Notes: Immunohistology formalin-paraffin 2-4 μg/mL. Staining of formalin-fixed tissues requires boiling tissue sections in 10 mM citrate buffer, pH 6.0, for 10-20 min followed by cooling at RT for 20 minutes. Flow Cytometry 0.5-1 μg/million cells/0.1 mL. Immunofluorescence 1-2 μg/mL. Optimal dilution for a specific application should be determined by user
