Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) are members of a large family of structurally related polypeptides (17-38kD) that are potent physiological regulators of growth and differentiation in a wide variety of cells of mesodermal, ectodermal and endodermal origin.
Applications:
Suitable for use in Western Blot, Immunoprecipitation and Immunohistochemistry. Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution:
Western Blot (Indirect): 1:1000; 293T cells were transfected with FGFR3 plasmide. NBT/BCIP was the substrate. Band at ~110kD.
Immunoprecipitation: 0.5-1ug antibody using a whole cell lysate of transfected 293T cells expressing recombinant human FGFR3.
Immunohistochemistry (Formalin-fixed paraffin): 1:250 using Tyrpsin-digested sections. Stains human placenta and umbilical cord. Staining is observed in amniotic epithelium, tubules and squamous epithelium.
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Positive Control:
Whole cell lysates of transfected 293T (embryonic kidney) cells expressing recombinant human FGFR3.
