Description
TGF alpha 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. This antibody reacts with the C-terminus of TGF alpha and shows no cross-reaction with EGF and the neuropeptide synenkephalin. Staining with the antibody is completely blocked by the peptide used for raising this antibody.
Reactivity
Human, Mouse, Rat
Immunogen
A 17-amino acid synthetic peptide from the carboxyl-terminus of rat TGF alpha was used as the immunogen for this antibody.
Clonality
Monoclonal
Clone
MF9
Conjugation
Unconjugated
Purification
Protein G affinity chromatography
Dilution
ELISA: 2-4ug/ml (order BSA/azide-free format), Immunohistochemistry (FFPE) : 2-4ug/ml for 30 min at RT
Storage Conditions
Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 2 weeks. For long term storage store at -20°C in small aliquots to prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
Notes
For research use only.
Applications Notes
The concentration stated for each application is a general starting point. Variations in protocols, secondaries and substrates may require the TGF alpha antibody to be titered up or down for optimal performance.1. Staining of FFPE tissues requires boiling sections in 10mM Tris with 1mM EDTA, pH 9.0, for 10-20 min followed by cooling at RT for 20 min.
