  • Product overview

    Human TGF beta 1 ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) kit (ab100647) is an in vitro enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the quantitative measurement of Human TGF beta 1 in serum, plasma and cell culture supernatants.


    This assay employs an antibody specific for Human TGF beta 1 coated on a 96-well plate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and TGF beta 1 present in a sample is bound to the wells by the immobilized antibody. The wells are washed and biotinylated anti-Human TGF beta 1 antibody is added. After washing away unbound biotinylated antibody, HRP-conjugated streptavidin is pipetted to the wells. The wells are again washed, a TMB substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of TGF beta 1 bound. The Stop Solution changes the color from blue to yellow, and the intensity of the color is measured at 450 nm.

  • Research areas
  • Function
    Multifunctional protein that controls proliferation, differentiation and other functions in many cell types. Many cells synthesize TGFB1 and have specific receptors for it. It positively and negatively regulates many other growth factors. It plays an important role in bone remodeling as it is a potent stimulator of osteoblastic bone formation, causing chemotaxis, proliferation and differentiation in committed osteoblasts.
  • Tissue specificity
    Highly expressed in bone. Abundantly expressed in articular cartilage and chondrocytes and is increased in osteoarthritis (OA). Co-localizes with ASPN in chondrocytes within OA lesions of articular cartilage.
  • Involvement in disease
    Defects in TGFB1 are the cause of Camurati-Engelmann disease (CE) [MIM:131300]; also known as progressive diaphyseal dysplasia 1 (DPD1). CE is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by hyperostosis and sclerosis of the diaphyses of long bones. The disease typically presents in early childhood with pain, muscular weakness and waddling gait, and in some cases other features such as exophthalmos, facial paralysis, hearing difficulties and loss of vision.
  • Sequence similarities
    Belongs to the TGF-beta family.
  • Post-translational
    modifications
    Glycosylated.
    The precursor is cleaved into mature TGF-beta-1 and LAP, which remains non-covalently linked to mature TGF-beta-1 rendering it inactive.
  • Cellular localization

    TGFb human macrophage and DC secretion

     Excellent Excellent 5/5 (Ease of Use)
    Abreviews
    TGFb human macrophage & DC secretion in culture for 3, isolated by negative selection.
    The assay is easy to use and takes about 5.30hr.
    Good specificity as shown by TGFb secretion by different macrophages subtyes & DC.
    M0 = MCSF M1 = MCSF+IFNg M2 = MCSF+IL4 DC = GMCSF+IL4.

    human TGF beta 1 detection in M6 cells

     Excellent Good 4/5 (Ease of Use)
    Abreviews
    The Kit works without any remarkable problem.
    It isn't a very consuming time protocol.
    As control we use mouse cells supernatant and the result was very low.

    can i store extra reagents until i use next?

    Thank you for contacting us. Yes, you can store the HCl and the Urea/Acetic acid for later use, you do not have to use the diluted versions all at once. Please let me know if you have any further questions.

    I would like to know the hosts used to produce the capture and detection antibodies used in this kit? Also I'd like to know the clonality (poly or mono) of these antibodies.

    Both antibodies are produced in Rat and monoclonal.
