反应种属 | Mouse |
应用 | Western Blot,Immunohistochemistry,Neutralization |
目标/特异性 | Detects mouse FGF‑8b Isoform in direct ELISAs and Western blots. In direct ELISAs and Western blots, less than 1% cross-reactivity with recombinant human (rh) FGF acidic, rhFGF basic, rhFGF-4, rhFGF-5, rhFGF-6, rhFGF-7 and rhFGF-9 is observed. It does, however, cross‑react with recombinant mouse FGF-8c in neutralizing bioassay. |
使用方法 | Western Blot: 0.1 µg/mL Immunohistochemistry: 5-15 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 0.4-2.4 µg/mL in the presence of 60 ng/mL Recombinant Mouse FGF‑8b Isoform and 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). |

FGF‑8 in Human Prostate. FGF‑8 was detected in immersion fixed paraffin-embedded sections of human prostate using Goat Anti-Mouse FGF‑8 b Isoform Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF-423-NA) at 15 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C. Tissue was stained using the Anti-Goat HRP-DAB Cell & Tissue Staining Kit (brown; Catalog # CTS008) and counterstained with hematoxylin (blue). Specific staining was localized to epithelial and endothelial cells. View our protocol for Chromogenic IHC Staining of Paraffin-embedded Tissue Sections. | |
Cell Proliferation Induced by FGF‑8 and Neutralization by Mouse FGF‑8 Antibody. Recombinant Mouse FGF‑8b Isoform (Catalog # 423-F8) stimulates proliferation in the the NR6R‑3T3 mouse fibroblast cell line in a dose-dependent manner (orange line), as measured by Resazurin (Catalog # AR002). Proliferation elicited by Recombinant Mouse FGF‑8b Isoform (60 ng/mL) is neutralized (green line) by increasing concentrations of Goat Anti-Mouse FGF‑8b Isoform Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF-423-NA). The ND50 is typically 0.4-2.4 µg/mL in the presence of heparin (1 µg/mL). |
