Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded human Testicular Carcinoma stained with TGF alpha Monoclonal Antibody (SPM542)
Specificity & Comments Supplied As This antibody reacts with the TGF alpha and shows no cross-reaction with 200ug/ml of Ab Purified from Bioreactor Concentrate. Prepared in 10mM EGF and the neuropeptide synenkephalin. The staining with this MAb is PBS with 0.05% BSA & 0.05% azide. Also available WITHOUT BSA & azide completely blocked by the peptide used for raising this antibody. TGF at 1.0mg/ml. (aa50) is a growth factor with 33% homology to EGF, binds to EGFR, activates tyrosine phosphorylation of the receptor, and stimulates cell Storage and Stability proliferation. It plays a role in tumor initiation by inducing the reversible transformed phenotype. Antibody with azide - store at 2 to 8°C. Antibody is stable for 24 months. Non-hazardous. No MSDS required.
Known Applications & Suggested Dilutions Limitations This antibody is available for research use only and is not approved for use in diagnosis.
