Human Transforming Growth Factor beta 1 from platelets.
MaxLight(TM)650 is a new Far-IR stable dye conjugate comparable to Alexa Fluor(TM)647, DyLight(TM)649, Cy5(TM) and offers better labeling efficiency, brighter imaging and increased immunodetection. Absorbance (655nm), Emission (676nm), Extinction Coefficient 250,000. TGFb1 (Transforming Growth Factor-beta1) is a family of multifunctional 25kD proteins. TGFb1 was originally identified for its ability to induce the growth of normal rodent fibroblasts in soft agar. It is now known that TGFb1 is a potent growth inhibitor of many normal and transformed cell lines. It regulates normal cell growth, development and tissue remodeling following injury. TGFb1 is produced as latent high molecular weight complexes. The activation of latent TGFb1 is an important step in the regulation of its action. Applications: Suitable for use in FLISA, Western Blot, Flow Cytometry and Immunohistochemistry. Other applications have not been tested. Recommended Dilutions: Flow Cytometry: Membrane permeabilization is required. Immunohistochemistry: Frozen sections Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin): Has been successfully used on FFPE tissue without pre-treatment. Can use citrate, pH 6, EDTA, pH 8, or pepsin mediated antigen retrival. Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Recommended Negative Control: I1904-78R: IgG1 Murine Negative Control Immunohistochemistry Postivie Control: Human Breat Carcinoma Hybridoma: SP2/0-Ag 14 myeloma cells with spleen cells from Balb/c mice. Storage and Stability: Store product at 4C in the dark. DO NOT FREEZE! Stable at 4C for 12 months after receipt as an undiluted liquid. Dilute required amount only prior to immediate use. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer. Caution: MaxLight(TM)650 conjugates are sensitive to light. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial prior to removing the cap. Note: Applications are based on unconjugated antibody.
