Positive Control

Jurkat or Ramos cells. Testicular Carcinoma.

Known Applications & Suggested Dilutions

Flow Cyt, IF, IHC-P         More Details

Flow Cytometry (1-2ug/million cells)
Immunofluorescence (1-2ug/ml)
Immunohistochemistry (Formalin-fixed) (2-4ug/ml for 30 min at RT)(Staining of formalin-fixed tissues requires heating tissue sections in 10mM Tris with 1mM EDTA, pH 9.0, for 45 min at 95°C followed by cooling at RT for 20 minutes)
Optimal dilution for a specific application should be determined.

Immunogen

A 10-amino acid synthetic peptide (aa34-43; PPVAAAVVSH) from human TGFα (TG86 & P/T1)

Cellular Localization

Cytoplasmic and Extracellular (secreted)

Species Reactivity

Human. Rabbit. Zebrafish.

Host / Ig Isotype

Mouse / IgG1, kappa + Mouse / IgG1, kappa

Mol. Weight of Antigen

~6kDa

Specificity & Comments

This antibody reacts with the TGF alpha and shows no cross-reaction with EGF and the neuropeptide synenkephalin. The staining with this MAb is completely blocked by the peptide used for raising this antibody. TGF (aa50) is a growth factor with 33% homology to EGF, binds to EGFR, activates tyrosine phosphorylation of the receptor, and stimulates cell proliferation. It plays a role in tumor initiation by inducing the reversible transformed phenotype.
