Applications

Our Abpromise guarantee covers the use of ab9990 in the following tested applications.

The application notes include recommended starting dilutions; optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.

Application Abreviews Notes
ELISA Use a concentration of 0.5 µg/ml. (using 100µl/well antibody solution). Allows the detection of 0.2 - 0.4 ng/well of recombinant hFGF-17.
Neutralising Use a concentration of 0.02 - 0.035 µg/ml. for one-half maximal inhibition [ND50] of the biological activity of hFGF-17 (1.5 ng/ml).
WB Use a concentration of 0.1 - 0.2 µg/ml.
Sandwich ELISA Use at an assay dependent concentration. Can be paired for Sandwich ELISA with Mouse monoclonal [MM0284-5H27] to FGF17 (ab89270).

For sandwich ELISA, use this antibody as Detection at 0.5µg/ml with ab89270 as Capture.

Target

  • Function
    Plays an important role in the regulation of embryonic development and as signaling molecule in the induction and patterning of the embryonic brain. Required for normal brain development.
  • Tissue specificity
    Preferentially expressed in the embryonic brain.
  • Sequence similarities
    Belongs to the heparin-binding growth factors family.
  • Developmental stage
    Detected in embryos at E14.5, but not at E10.5 and E19.5. Preferentially expressed in the neuroepithelia of the isthmus and septum of the embryonic brain at E14.5.
  • Cellular localization
    Secreted.

    Question

    Hello, I was wondering if you could tell me smallest amount of FGF-17 detectable in a western blot using Ab9990 for detection? Thank You!

    Answer

    Thank yoiu for your enquiry. Used in conjunction with compatible secondary reagents the detection limit for recombinant hFGF-17 using ab9990 FGF17 antibody is 1.5-3.0 ng/lane, under either reducing or non-reducing conditions. Some lots may be more sensitive than this. I hope this will be helpful to you. Should you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

    Question

    Thank you for your quick reply! Since I am planning on trying the antibody on chicken or mouse proteins, and we do not know whether it would recognize them, I wonder whether I could ask for a sample size to try or to purchase. Thanks, and have a nice day!
