TGF alpha Antibody

• Catalog Number: orb749811
• Category: Antibodies
• Description: This antibody reacts with the C-terminus of TGF alpha and shows no cross-reaction with EGF and the neuropeptide synenkephalin. TGFa 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.
• Species/Host: Mouse
• Clonality: Monoclonal
• Clone Number: TGFA/1119
• Tested applications: IHC-P
• Reactivity: Human
• Isotype: Mouse IgG1, kappa
• Immunogen: Recombinant human full-length TGF protein was used as the immunogen for the TGFa antibody.
• Dilution range: Immunohistochemistry (FFPE): 2-4ug/ml for 30 min at RT
• Purity: Protein G affinity chromatography
• Conjugation: Unconjugated
• Formula: 0.2 mg/ml in 1X PBS with 0.1 mg/ml BSA (US sourced) and 0.05% sodium azide
• Hazard Information: This TGFa antibody is available for research use only.
• UniProt ID: P01135
• Storage: Store the TGFa antibody at 2-8°C (with azide) or aliquot and store at -20°C or colder (without azide).
• Buffer/Preservatives: 0.2 mg/ml in 1X PBS with 0.1 mg/ml rAlbumin (US sourced) and 0.05% sodium azide
• Note: For research use only
• Application notes: Optimal dilution of the TGFa antibody should be determined by the researcher.1. Staining of formalin-fixed tissues requires boiling tissue sections in pH 9 10mM Tris with 1mM EDTA for 10-20 min followed by cooling at RT for 20 min.2. The prediluted format is supplied in a dropper bottle and is optimized for use in IHC. After epitope retrieval step (if required), drip mAb solution onto the tissue section and incubate at RT for 30 min.
• Expiration Date: 12 months from date of receipt.
