TGF-b Antibody
Transforming Growth Factor-beta, Mouse-Anti Human

Synonyms:
Transforming Growth Factor-beta3, TGFB3, ARVD, FLJ16571, TGF-beta3.

Type:
Mouse Anti Human Monoclonal

Introduction:
Transforming growth factor betas (TGFBetas) mediate many cell-cell interactions that occur during embryonic development. Three TGFBetas have been identified in mammals. TGFBeta1, TGFBeta2 and TGFBeta3 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 molecule. This antibody reacts with the precursor and mature form of TGFBeta2 and to a lesser extent TGFBeta3, but does not cross react with TGFBeta1.

Clone:
hTGF-b

Immunogen:
r.Human TGF-b

Ig Subclass:
Mouse IgG1

Purification Method:
Ion exchange column

Protein concentration:
1mg/ml in PBS (after reconstitution)

Shipping Conditions:
Antibody is shipped lyophilized at ambient temperature.

Storage Procedures:
Lyophilized: store at 4^oC. After reconstitution, if not intended for use within a month, aliquot and store at -20^oC.

Reconstitution:
Reconstitute with 0.5ml H20. Mix gently, wash the sides of the vial and wait 30-60 seconds before use.

Stability / Shelf Life:
Two years lyophilized, one month in solution at 4^oC.

Titer:
In direct ELISA, using alkaline phosphatase goat anti-mouse Ig (Jackson ImmunoResearch Laboratories) 1:10,000 dilution will yield 0.7 O.D within 10 minutes

Note:
This antibody will bind very well to protein A in a buffer (PBS) containing high salt concentration (3M Nacl).
