Application notes 
(see key)

Recommended dilutions
I-ELISA: Use at a concentration of 0.5 µg/ml.
Neut: Use at an assay dependent dilution.
WB: Use at a concentration of 1 µg/ml. Predicted molecular weight: 22 kDa.

Anti-Human FGF4 is tested for its ability to neutralize the bioactivity of rhFGF4 in a cell proliferation assay using FGF4 responsive NR6-3T3 fibroblasts. The ND50 of the antibody is defined as the concentration of antibody resulting in a one-half maximal inhibition of bioactivity of rhFGF4, which is present at five times its own EC50 (the concentration of rhFGF4 producing a one-half maximal bioactivity without antibody).

In this bioassay, rhFGF4 was pre-incubated with various dilutions of the antibody for 1 hour at 37C in a 96-well microtiter plate. Then antigen-antibody mixtures were added to quiescent confluent NR6-3T3 cultures in 0.1 ml containing 0.5 ng/ml rhFGF-4. This was incubated for 20 hours at 37C in a 5% CO humidified incubator and then pulsed for 2 hours with H-thymidine. Cells were harvested onto glass filters and the H-thymidine incorporation into DNA was measured.

Not tested in other applications.
Optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.

Relevance 

FGF4 is a heparin binding growth factor that is a member of the FGF family. Proteins of this family play a central role during prenatal development and postnatal growth and regeneration of a variety of tissues, by promoting cellular proliferation and differentiation. FGF4 signals through the FGFR 1c, 2c, 3c, and 4.

Fibroblast growth factor 4 is a member of the FGF family, a group of 7 homologous polypeptides that act upon a variety of cells and produce biological actions that may include cell proliferation, migration and differentiation. FGF4, also known as oncogene products hst1 and KFGF, has strong transforming potential and is a potent angiogenic factor, being expressed in several highly vascularized tumors.
