应用 | Western Blot(1 µg/mL) Immunohistochemistry(8-25 µg/mL) |
目标/特异性 | Detects human and mouse FGF-8 in direct ELISAs and Western blots. In direct ELISAs and Western blots, less than 2% cross-reactivity with recombinant human (rh) FGF-5, rhFGF-7, and rhFGF-9 is observed. |
使用方法 | Western Blot: 1 µg/mL Immunohistochemistry: 8-25 µg/mL Neutralization: Measured by its ability to neutralize FGF‑8-induced proliferation in the NR6R‑3T3 mouse fibroblast cell line. Rizzino, A. et al. (1988) Cancer Res. 48:4266. The Neutralization Dose (ND50) is typically 0.25-0.75 µg/mL in the presence of 125 ng/mL Recombinant Mouse FGF‑8 c Isoform and 0.1 µg/mL heparin. |

背景 | FGF-8 is a member of the fibroblast growth factor family that was originally discovered as a growth factor essential for the androgen-dependent growth of mouse mammary carcinoma cells (1-3). Alternate splicing of mouse FGF-8 mRNA generates eight secreted isoforms, designated a-h, but only FGF-8a, b, e and f exist in humans (4). FGF-8 contains a 22 amino acid (aa) signal sequence, an N‑terminal domain that varies according to the isoform (30 aa for FGF-8b; 20 aa for the shortest, FGF-8a), a 125 aa FGF domain and a 37 aa proline‑rich C‑terminal sequence. The FGF domain of FGF-8 shares the most aa identity with FGF17 (75%) and FGF-18 (67%), and the three form an FGF subfamily (2). Mouse FGF-8b shares 100% aa identity with human FGF-8b. FGF-8 is widely expressed during embryogenesis, and mediates epithelial-mesenchymal transitions. It plays an organizing and inducing role during gastrulation, and regulates patterning of the midbrain/hindbrain, eye, ear, limbs and heart in the embryo (2, 5 - 8). The isoforms may play different roles in development. FGF-8b shows the strongest receptor affinity and oncogenic transforming capacity although FGF-8a and FGF-8e are also transforming and have been found in human prostate, breast or ovarian tumors (1, 5, 9-12). FGF-8 shows limited expression in the normal adult, but low levels are found in the reproductive and genitourinary tract, peripheral leukocytes and bone marrow hematopoietic cells (3, 9, 13). |

Cell Proliferation Induced by FGF‑8 and Neutralization by Human and Mouse FGF‑8 Antibody. Recombinant Mouse FGF‑8 c Isoform (Catalog # 424-FC) stimulates proliferation in the the NR6R‑3T3 mouse fibroblast cell line in a dose-dependent manner (orange line). Proliferation elicited by Recombinant Mouse FGF‑8 c Isoform (125 ng/mL) is neutralized (green line) by increasing concentrations of Mouse Anti-Human/Mouse FGF‑8 Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB323). The ND50 is typically 0.25-0.75 µg/mL in the presence of heparin (0.1 µg/mL). | |
FGF‑8 in Human Prostate. FGF‑8 was detected in immersion fixed paraffin-embedded sections of human prostate using Mouse Anti-Human/Mouse FGF‑8 Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB323) at 25 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C. Tissue was stained using the Anti-Mouse HRP-DAB Cell & Tissue Staining Kit (brown; Catalog # CTS002) and counterstained with hematoxylin (blue). Specific staining was localized to stromal cell cytoplasm. View our protocol for Chromogenic IHC Staining of Paraffin-embedded Tissue Sections. |
