Fibroblast growth factor 1 (FGF1), also known as acidic FGF, is a potent mitogen that plays fundamental roles in angiogenesis, tissue repair, and cellular proliferation. As a member of the FGF family, FGF1 signals through receptor tyrosine kinases to regulate diverse biological processes including neuronal development, cardiac function, and tumor progression. Its involvement in promoting endothelial cell growth and its designation as heparin-binding growth factor 1 underscore its significance in vascular biology research, while its dysregulation has been implicated in various malignancies.
This recombinant monoclonal antibody, clone 23H4, offers researchers the reproducibility essential for longitudinal studies and multi-site collaborations. Produced using recombinant technology with a defined sequence, this mouse IgG2a antibody eliminates the lot-to-lot variability inherent in traditional hybridoma production, ensuring consistent performance across experiments. The antibody was raised against recombinant human FGF1 protein and has been validated for detecting human FGF1.
Validation studies demonstrate reliable performance in immunofluorescence and flow cytometry applications. Immunofluorescence staining of U251 glioblastoma cells at 1:200 dilution reveals clear cytoplasmic localization with FITC-conjugated secondary detection. Flow cytometric analysis of PC-3 prostate cancer cells shows distinct positive population shifts compared to isotype controls, confirming specific detection in fixed and permeabilized samples. Both applications support working dilutions of 1:50 to 1:200, providing flexibility for optimization across different experimental conditions.
This antibody serves researchers investigating FGF1 biology across neuroscience, oncology, cardiovascular disease, and signal transduction pathways, offering a dependable tool for characterizing FGF1 expression in human cell models.
