Applications ELISA, FN, IHC, WB
Recommended Dilution Sandwich ELISA: To detect hEGF by Sandwich ELISA (using 100 µl/well antibody solution) a concentration of at least 0.5-0.2 µg/ml of this antibody is required. This antigen affinity purified antibody, in conjunction with Biotin conjugated anti-Human EGF (PP1002B) as a detection antibody allows the detection of at least 0.2-0.4 ng/well of recombinant hEGF.
Western Blot: To detect hEGF by Western Blot analysis this antibody can be used at a concentration of 0.1-0.2 µg/ml. Used in conjunction with compatible secondary reagents the detection limit for recombinant hEGF is 1.5-3.0 ng/lane, under either reducing or non-reducing conditions.
Neutralization: To yield one-half maximal inhibition [ND50] of the biological activity of hEGF (2.0 ng/ml), a concentration of 0.25-0.35 µg/ml of this antibody is required.
Immunohistochemistry on Formalin-Fixed, Paraffin-Embedded Sections: 1-0.25 µg/ml overnight at 4°C. An HRP-labeled polymer detection system was used with a non-alcohol soluble AEC chromogen and a proteinase K antiegen retrieval.

Gene Name Homo sapiens epidermal growth factor (EGF), transcript variant 1
Background Epidermal growth factor (EGF) has a profound effect on the differentiation of specific cells in vivo and is a potent mitogenic factor for a variety of cultured cells. The EGF precursor is believed to exist as a membrane bound molecule which is proteolytically cleaved to generate the 53 amino acid peptide hormone that stimulates cells to divide. EGF exerts its actions by binding to the EGFR, a 170 kDa protein.
Epidermal growth factor (EGF) is a key growth factor regulating cell survival. Through its binding to cell surface receptors, EGF activates an extensive network of signal transduction pathways that include activation of the PI3K/AKT, RAS/ERK and JAK/STAT pathways. Because of its key role in driving the proliferation of cells, EGFR is a target of several anti-cancer drugs currently in development.
Synonyms Urogastrone, Epidermal growth factor, URG, HOMG4
