Specificity
This antibody was selected and evaluated immunoserologically for recombinant human TGF-alpha and synthetic (uncoupled) peptides using simple binding and competitive ELISA. Immunohistochemical characterization of the anti-TGF-alpha monoclonal antibody was made on different human carcinomas. Recommended for immunohistochemical detection of TGF-alpha production in human tumor cells, immunoserological monitoring of progression of malignant tumours and for screening of therapeutic efficiency of different human tumors. -

Function
TGF alpha is a mitogenic polypeptide that is able to bind to the EGF receptor and to act synergistically with TGF beta to promote anchorage-independent cell proliferation in soft agar. -
Tissue specificity
Isoform 1, isoform 3 and isoform 4 are expressed in keratinocytes and tumor-derived cell lines. -
Sequence similarities
Contains 1 EGF-like domain. -
Cellular localization

Overlay histogram showing A431 cells stained with ab9578 (red line). The cells were fixed with 80% methanol (5 min) and incubated in 1x PBS / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine to block non-specific protein-protein interactions. The cells were then incubated with the antibody (ab9578, 1µg/1x106 cells) for 30 min at 22ºC. The secondary antibody used was DyLight® 488 goat anti-mouse IgG (H+L) (ab96879) at 1/500 dilution for 30 min at 22ºC. Isotype control antibody (black line) was mouse IgG1 [ICIGG1] (ab91353, 2µg/1x106 cells) used under the same conditions. Acquisition of >5,000 events was performed.
Please note that Abcam do not have any data for use of this antibody on non-fixed cells. We welcome any customer feedback.
