General description

Fibroblast Growth Factor Basic (also known as bFGF) is a pleotropic cytokine that that is a potent mitogenic factor. On binding to its cognate receptor tyrosine kinase, FGFR, bFGF is capable of activation of pathways such as MAPK and PI3K and produce cellular effects in varied cell types. Fibroblast Growth Factor-basic is repoted to induce proliferation of fibroblasts, differentiation, wound healing and regeneration, limb formation, tissue remodelling and angiogenesis. The role of bFGF in chondrocyte proliferation and repair has established the role of bFGF in maintaining cartilage and intervertebral disc homeostasis. Along with VEGF, bFGF is important in angiogenesis and tumorigenesis in response to inflammatory cytokines
Monoclonal Anti-Fibroblast Growth Factor Basic recognizes human Fibroblast Growth Factor Basic. It also recognizes bovine bFGF. It shows 0.2% cross-reactivity with bovine FGF acidic. It does not react with human FGF acidic, FGF-4, -6 or -7.

Immunogen

purified, E. coli-derived recombinant human fibroblast growth factor basic.

Application

Monoclonal Anti-Fibroblast Growth Factor Basic may be used as capture antibody in ELISA at a recommended concentration range of 2-8 μg/ml.

Physical form

Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution in phosphate buffered saline with 5% trehalose.

Two members of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family, basic FGF (bFGF) and FGF-18, have been implicated in the regulation of articular and intervertebral disc (IVD) cartilage homeostasis. Studies on bFGF from a variety of species have yielded contradictory results

The possible functional role of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) in regulating the mitotic and metabolic activity of primary human articular chondrocytes was investigated. [EF1]Chondrocytes were enzymatically isolated from femoral head cartilage, and were cultured in vitro in monolayer. bFGF-dependent

Fibroblast growth factor (FGF) has been purified to homogeneity from bovine pituitaries by two methods. Starting material for both methods was an FGF preparation partially purified as described by Gospodarowicz [Gospodarowicz, D. (1975) J. Biol. Chem. 250, 2515-2520]. Purification procedure
