TGF beta Antibody / TGFB

SKU: orb1824731

Description

This mAb recognizes TGF beta 1, 2 and 3. Three TGF betas have been identified in mammals. TGF beta 1, TGF beta 2 and TGF beta 3 are each synthesized as precursor proteins that are very similar in that each is cleaved to yield a 112 amino acid polypeptide that remains associated with the latent portion of the molecules. Biologically active TGF beta requires dimerization of the monomers (usually homodimers) and release of the latent peptide portion. Overall, the mature region of the TGF beta 3 protein has approximately 80% identity to the mature region of both TGF beta 1 and TGF beta 2. However, the NH2 terminals or precursor regions of their molecules share only 27% sequence identity. TGF beta s inhibits the growth of epithelial cells and stimulate the growth of mesenchymal cells.

Images & Validation

• Tested Applications: IHC-P
• Dilution Range: Immunohistochemistry (FFPE): 1-2ug/ml for 30 min at RT
• Reactivity: Human
• Application Notes:
  Optimal dilution of the TGF beta antibody should be determined by the researcher.

Key Properties

• Disclaimer: For research use only

IHC staining of FFPE human placental tissue with TGF beta antibody (clone TGFB/7240). Inset: PBS used in place of primary Ab (secondary Ab negative control). HIER: boil tissue sections in pH9 10 mM Tris with 1 mM EDTA for 20 min and allow to cool before testing.

SDS-PAGE analysis of purified, BSA-free TGF beta antibody (clone TGFB/7240) as confirmation of integrity and purity.
