FGF basic/FGF2/bFGF Antibody - Azide and BSA Free

Immunohistochemistry: FGF basic/FGF2/bFGF Antibody - Azide and BSA Free [NB600-1536] -

High VEGF-A and FGF2 labeling levels in an orthotopic OS mouse model and in human lung metastasis specimens: (A) U2-OS tumor image at 5 weeks and (B) anti-VEGF-A immunolabeling. Representative images of primary OS tumors in mice and nearby bone. The labeling pattern was mainly cytoplasmic; however, nuclear labeling was also noticed. Images were obtained under a ×40 magnification. Scale bar denotes 50 um. (C) Quantitative analysis of immunolabeled area (tumor/bone ratio) of primary OS tumors in mice normalized to nearby bone. Primary OS tumors exhibit significantly higher VEGF-A levels compared to control bone; *** p < 0.001. (D) FGF2 immunolabeling. Representative images of primary OS tumors in mice and nearby bone. Images were obtained under ×40 magnification. Scale bar denotes 50 um. (E) Quantitative analysis of immunolabeled area (tumor/bone ratio) of primary OS tumors in mice normalized to nearby bone. Primary OS tumors exhibit significantly higher FGF2 levels compared to control bone; ** p < 0.01. (F) Representative anti-VEGF-A and anti-FGF2 immunolabeling of human metastatic OS and non-metastatic OS patient specimens. Images showing nuclear labeling pattern. Microscope images were obtained under ×40 magnification. Scale bar denotes 50 um. (G) Quantitative analysis of immunolabeled area (1/um2) in metastatic vs. non-metastatic human OS specimens. Higher levels of VEGF-A (primary, N = 7; metastasis, N = 8) and FGF2 (primary, N = 6; metastasis, N = 14) were obtained in metastatic samples compared to primary tumors; * p < 0.05, and **** p < 0.0001.

Application
Recommended Usage

ELISA

indirect

Immunohistochemistry

1:10-1:500

Immunohistochemistry-Paraffin

1:10-1:500

Western Blot

1:1000
Application Notes
Bioactivity: Anti-FGF basic (1-24) was tested in cell culture using fetal bovine heart endothelial cells (ATCC CRL 1395) plated at low cell density. Various dilutions of Anti-FGF basic(1-24) were pre incubated at 37 C with FGF basic or FGF acidic for 2 hours. Anti-FGF basic (1-24) caused a dose-dependent decrease in the mitogenic activity of FGF basic such that a final dilution of 1:50 neutralized the bioactivity of 1 unit of FGF basic.

Background: FGF basic/FGF2/bFGF

FGF basic/FGF2/bFGF is a growth factor that functions in angiogenesis, wound healing, tissue repair, learning and memory, and the morphogenesis of heart, bone, and brain. It is upregulated in response to inflammatory stimuli and in many tumors. FGF basic/FGF2/bFGF binds to FGFR1c and 2c. Its bioactivity is modulated by a number of other binding partners including heparin, Integrin alpha V beta 3, soluble FGFR1, FGF-BP, free gangliosides, Thrombospondin, Pentraxin 3/TSG-14, Fibrinogen, alpha 2-Macroglobulin, PDGF, and CXCL4/PF4. These molecules act as cellular coreceptors or adhesion partners, extracellular matrix decoys or reservoirs, and soluble scavengers or chaperones. In particular, the interaction of FGF basic/FGF2/bFGF with cell surface heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPG) is required for the binding and activation of FGF receptors.
