• Applicable Applications for anti-CTGF antibody: ELISA (EIA), Western Blot (WB)
• Application Notes: ELISA: This biotinylated human CTGF antibody may be used in a direct ELISA or as the detection reagent in a sandwich ELISA with our purified human CTGF antibody as the capture reagent and recombinant human CTGF as the standard.; ELISA: Minimum Dilution: 0.25; Maximum Dilution: 1.0ug/ml; Western Blotting: Minimum Dilution: 0.1; Maximum Dilution: 0.2ug/ml
• Reconstitution: Reconstitute with 0.5ml sterile PBS containing 0.1% Bovine Serum Albumin. Care should be taken during reconstitution as the protein may appear as a film at the bottom of the vial. MyBioSource recommends that the vial is gently mixed after reconstitution. For long term storage the addition of 0.09% sodium azide is recommended.
• Immunogen: Recombinant human CTGF.; Buffer Solution
• Antiserum Preparation: Antisera to human CTGF were raised by repeated immunisations of rabbits with highly purified antigen. Purified IgG was prepared from whole serum by affinity chromatography.
• Target Species: Human
• Preparation and Storage: Prior to reconstitution store at 4 degree C. After reconstitution store at -20 degree C. Storage in frost-free freezers is not recommended. This product should be stored undiluted. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing as this may denature the antibody. Should this product contain a precipitate we recommend microcentrifugation before use.; Shelf Life: 12 months from date of reconstitution.

Related Product Information for anti-CTGF antibody

Rabbit anti Human CTGF antibody specifically recognizes human CTGF (connective tissue growth factor), a 323 amino acid polypeptide and member of the CCN family of secreted cysteine rich regulatory proteins, which is produced by vascular endothelial and umbilical vein cells, and interacts with several other growth factors, including transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs). CTGF is a heparin-binding pleiotropic growth factor involved in chondrogenesis and potentially skeletogenesis. CTGF promotes the adhesion of epithelial cells and fibroblasts, stimulates integrin expression, and also promotes endothelial cell survival, migration and adhesion, implicating CTGF in angiogenesis. CTGF induces extracellular matrix formation, including the deposition of excessive collagen in fibrotic diseases, and has also been implicated in wound healing.

NCBI Description

The protein encoded by this gene is a mitogen that is secreted by vascular endothelial cells. The encoded protein plays a role in chondrocyte proliferation and differentiation, cell adhesion in many cell types, and is related to platelet-derived growth factor. Certain polymorphisms in this gene have been linked with a higher incidence of systemic sclerosis. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2009]

Uniprot Description

CTGF: Major connective tissue mitoattractant secreted by vascular endothelial cells. Promotes proliferation and differentiation of chondrocytes. Mediates heparin- and divalent cation-dependent cell adhesion in many cell types including fibroblasts, myofibroblasts, endothelial and epithelial cells. Enhances fibroblast growth factor-induced DNA synthesis. Belongs to the CCN family. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.
