Scientific Data Images for TGF‑ beta2 Antibody

TGF-beta 2 Inhibition of IL-4-dependent Cell Proliferation and Neutralization by TGF-beta 2/Antibody.

Porcine TGF-beta 2 (Catalog # 102-B2) inhibits Recombinant Mouse IL-4 (Catalog # 404-ML) induced proliferation in the HT-2 mouse T cell line in a dose-dependent manner (orange line). Inhibition of Recombinant Mouse IL-4 (7.5 ng/mL) activity elicited by Porcine TGF-beta 2 (1 ng/mL) is neutralized (green line) by increasing concentrations of Goat Anti-TGF-beta 2/Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF-302-NA). The ND₅₀ is typically 0.0100-0.100 µg/mL.

Recommended Usage

Western Blot

0.1 µg/mL
Sample: Recombinant Human TGF-beta 2 (Catalog # 302-B2)

Neutralization

Measured by its ability to neutralize TGF‑ beta2 inhibition of IL‑4-dependent proliferation in the HT‑2 mouse T cell line. Tsang, M. et al. (1995) Cytokine 7:389. The Neutralization Dose (ND₅₀) is typically 0.0100-0.100 µg/mL in the presence of 1 ng/mL Porcine TGF‑ beta2 and 7.5 ng/mL Recombinant Mouse IL‑4.

Background: TGF-beta 2

TGF- beta 2 (transforming growth factor beta 2) is a highly pleiotropic cytokine with important functions during cardiac, lung, craniofacial, limb, eye, ear, and urogenital system development. It forms a latent complex with LAP and one of the LTBP TGF-beta binding proteins. The active protein is released by Plasmin, MMP, Thrombospondin 1, or Integrin action. TGF-beta 2 signals through TGF-beta RII, Betaglycan, and either TGF-beta RI/ALK-5 or ALK-1.
