Transforming growth factor-beta (TGFb) family of proteins has potent hematopoietic regulatory properties ranging from effects on the growth and differentiation of primitive stem cells to the differentiated functions of mature cells.
Although most reports have described the inhibitory activities of TGF-beta on hematopoiesis, recent evidence supports the concept that TGF-beta can have both inhibitory and stimulatory actions on these systems.
These differences depend on the differentiation state of the target cell and the other cytokines interacting with the cell.
Furthermore, TGF-beta has direct bidirectional effects on cell surface expression of many cytokine receptors suggesting that it is part of the mechanism of action of TGF-beta.
Applications:Suitable for use in ELISA, Western Blot, Immunohistochemistry, Immunocytochemistry and Neutralization.
Other applications have not been tested.
Recommended Dilutions:Western Blot: 1ug/ml using Recombinant Human LAP TGF-beta 1Immunohistochemistry: 5-15ug/ml using immersion fixed paraffin-embedded sections of human prostate cancer tissueImmunocytochemistry: 5-15ug/ml using immersion fixed human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) Neutralization: Measured by its ability to neutralize LAP TGF‑ beta 1 inhibition of TGF‑ beta 1 growth inhibition in the HT‑2 mouse T cell line.
