Description
EGF Antibody (biotin) | 38-211 | Gentaur UK, US & Europe Distribution
Host: Rabbit
Reactivity: Rat
Homology: N/A
Immunogen: Produced from sera of rabbits pre-immunized with highly pure (>98%) recombinant Rat EGF (Rat Epidermal Growth Factor) . Rat EGF specific antibody was purified by affinity chromatography and then biotinylated.
Research Area: Growth Factors, Antibody Pairs
Tested Application: E, WB
Application: ELISA:
Sandwich:
To detect Rat EGF by sandwich ELISA (using 100 μL/well antibody solution) a concentration of 0.25 - 1.0 μg/mL of this antibody is required. This biotinylated polyclonal antibody, in conjunction with our polyclonal Anti-Rat EGF as a capture antibody, allows the detection of at least 0.2 - 0.4 ng/well of recombinant Rat EGF.
Western Blot:
To detect Rat EGF by Western Blot analysis this antibody can be used at a concentration of 0.5 - 1.0 μg/mL. Used in conjunction with compatible secondary reagents the detection limit for recombinant Rat EGF is 1.5 - 3.0 ng/lane, under either reducing or non-reducing conditions.

BACKGROUND: Epidermal growth factor (EGF) has a profound effect on the differentiation of specific cells in vivo and is a potent mitogenic factor for a variety of cultured cells. The EGF precursor is believed to exist as a membrane-bound molecule which is proteolytically cleaved to generate the 53-amino acid peptide hormone that stimulates cells to divide. EGF exerts its actions by binding to the EGFR, a 170 kDa protein. Epidermal growth factor is also a key growth factor regulating cell survival. Through its binding to cell surface receptors, EGF activates an extensive network of signal transduction pathways that include activation of the PI3K/AKT, RAS/ERK and JAK/STAT pathways
