Properties

If you buy Antibodies supplied by Biovision they should be stored frozen at - 24°C for long term storage and for short term at + 5°C.

Formulation of this antibody:

100 µg (0.5 mg/ml) affinity purified rabbit anti-human TGF-α polyclonal antibody in phosphate buffered saline (PBS), pH 7.2, containing 30% glycerol, 0.5% BSA, 0.01% thimerosal.

Background information:

Transforming Growth Factor-alpha (TGF-α) stimulates the proliferation of a wide range of epidermal and epithelial cells. TGF-α has been shown to play a role in the autocrine growth of certain transformed cells.

Description

The anti-TGF-alpha Antibody is a α- or alpha protein sometimes glycoprotein present in blood.This antibody needs to be stored at + 4°C in a fridge short term in a concentrated dilution. Freeze thaw will destroy a percentage in every cycle and should be avoided.

Recommended usage:

Western blot analysis (0.5-4 µg/ml). Recombinant human TGF-a can be used as a positive control (Cat.# 4339-100). Per researcher’s feedback, the antibody can also be used in Neutralization (2-10 µg/ml). However, the optimal conditions should be determined individually.
