Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1), also known as somatomedin C, serves as a critical mediator of growth hormone action and plays fundamental roles in cell proliferation, differentiation, and survival. This potent mitogenic factor signals through the IGF1 receptor to activate downstream pathways including PI3K/Akt and MAPK cascades, making it a molecule of significant interest in cancer biology, developmental studies, and metabolic research. Dysregulation of IGF1 signaling has been implicated in numerous malignancies, where it can promote tumor growth and resistance to therapeutic interventions.
This recombinant monoclonal antibody against human IGF1 offers researchers the consistency and reliability that comes with sequence-defined production. Unlike traditional hybridoma-derived antibodies, recombinant technology ensures that every lot delivers identical performance characteristics, eliminating the variability that can compromise longitudinal studies or multi-site collaborations. The defined genetic sequence underlying clone 2F2 provides complete transparency regarding the antibody's molecular identity.
Validation studies demonstrate effective performance in immunohistochemistry applications, with successful staining observed in paraffin-embedded human liver tissue and human pancreatic cancer specimens at 1:100 dilution using citrate buffer antigen retrieval. These tissue-specific validations confirm the antibody's utility for examining IGF1 expression patterns in both normal physiological contexts and disease states. The antibody is also suitable for ELISA applications, with recommended IHC dilutions ranging from 1:50 to 1:200 to accommodate different tissue types and detection systems.
For investigators exploring IGF1's contributions to oncogenesis, developmental processes, or signal transduction mechanisms, this recombinant antibody provides a dependable tool for characterizing expression and localization in human tissue samples.
