Scientific Data Images for Human IGF-I/IGF-1 Antibody

Cell Proliferation Induced by IGF-I/IGF-1 and Neutralization by Human IGF-I/IGF-1 Antibody.

Cell Proliferation Induced by IGF-I/IGF-1 and Neutralization by Human IGF-I/IGF-1 Antibody.

Recombinant Human IGF-I/IGF-1 (291-G1) stimulates proliferation in the MCF-7 human breast cancer cell line in a dose-dependent manner (orange line). Proliferation elicited by Recombinant Human IGF-I/IGF-1 (6 ng/mL) is neutralized (green line) by increasing concentrations of Goat Anti-Human IGF-I/IGF-1 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF-291-NA). The ND50 is typically 3-12 µg/mL.
IGF-I/IGF-1 antibody in MDA-MB-231 Human Cell Line by Immunocytochemistry (ICC).

IGF-I/IGF-1 in MDA‑MB‑231 Human Cell Line.

IGF-I/IGF-1 was detected in immersion fixed MDA-MB-231 human breast cancer cell line using Goat Anti-Human IGF-I/IGF-1 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF-291-NA) at 10 µg/mL for 3 hours at room temperature. Cells were stained using the NorthernLights™ 557-conjugated Anti-Goat IgG Secondary Antibody (yellow; NL001) and counterstained with DAPI (blue).

IGF-I/IGF-1 antibody in Human Placenta by Immunohistochemistry (IHC-P).

IGF-I/IGF-1 in Human Placenta.

IGF-I/IGF-1 was detected in immersion fixed paraffin-embedded sections of human placenta using Goat Anti-Human IGF-I/IGF-1 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF-291-NA) at 5 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C. Tissue was stained using the Anti-Goat HRP-DAB Cell & Tissue Staining Kit (brown; CTS008) and counterstained with hematoxylin (blue). Specific staining was localized to syncytiotrophoblasts.

Background: IGF-I/IGF-1

IGF-I/IGF-1 belongs to the family of insulin-like growth factors and circulates in complex with IGF binding proteins. It is a potent mitogenic growth factor that binds the heteromeric type I and type II IGF receptors. Essentially, all of the biological activities of IGF-I/IGF-1 are mediated by IGF-I R.

Long Name

Insulin-like Growth Factor I/Insulin-like Growth Factor 1
