Description
For quantitative detection of human FGF1 in cell culture supernates, cell lysates, tissue homogenates, serum and plasma (heparin, EDTA).
Background: Heparin-binding growth factor 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the FGF1 gene. The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family. This protein functions as a modifier of endothelial cell migration and proliferation, as well as an angiogenic factor. It acts as a mitogen for a variety of mesoderm- and neuroectoderm-derived cells in vitro, thus is thought to be involved in organogenesis. The FGF1 gene was mapped to chromosome 5q31.3-q33.2 by in situ hybridization.
Principle: Human FGF1 ELISA Kit was based on standard sandwich enzyme-linked immune-sorbent assay technology. A monoclonal antibody from Mouse specific for FGF1 has been precoated onto 96-well plates. Standards(Expression system for standard: E Coli, Immunogen sequence: A2-D155) and test samples are added to the wells, a biotinylated detection polyclonal antibody from goat specific for FGF1 is added subsequently and then followed by washing with PBS or TBS buffer. Avidin-Biotin-Peroxidase Complex was added and unbound conjugates were washed away with PBS or TBS buffer. HRP substRate TMB was used to visualize HRP enzymatic reaction. TMB was catalyzed by HRP to produce a blue color product that changed into yellow after adding acidic stop solution. The density of yellow is proportional to the Human FGF1 amount of sample captured in plate
