Host: Mouse

Reactivity: Human

Homology: N/A

Immunogen: Recombinant human full-length TGF protein was used as the immunogen for the TGFa antibody.

Research Area: Growth Factors, Antibody Pairs, Functional Assays

Tested Application: Flow, IF, IHC-P

Application: Flow Cytometry: 0.5-1 ug/million cells in 0.1ml
Immunofluorescence: 1-2 ug/ml
Immunohistochemistry (FFPE) : 2-4 ug/ml for 30 min at RT (1)
Prediluted format: incubate for 30 min at RT (2)
Optimal dilution of the TGFa antibody should be determined by the researcher.

1. Staining of formalin-fixed tissues requires boiling tissue sections in 10mM Citrate buffer, pH 6.0, 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.

Alternate Name: TFGAProtransforming growth factor alpha, EGF-like TGF, TGF-alpha

User Note: Optimal dilutions for each application to be determined by the researcher

BACKGROUND: 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.
