ELISAThis antibody recognizes both Human platelet-derived and recombinant TGF-beta in ELISA. Functional AssayThis antibody neutralizes TGF-beta activity in vitro, in an inhibition assay of CCL/64 cellgrowth and neutralizes the growth promoting action of TGF-beta in the NRK-49F colonyforming assay. The effect of micro-injection of this antibody into one blastomere of two cellstage Xenopus embryos indicated that it was able to neutralize effectively the bioactivity ofTGF-beta in vivo. Immunohistochemistry on FFPE and Frozen SectionsThis antibody has been used to demonstrate TGF-beta in ovine ovarian tissue and humanbreast carcinoma at a dilution of 1: 1000. As a consequence of the intense staining of theerythrocytes it is possible to locate a single cell within the ovarian stroma making it usefulin locating very fine capillary networks within tissue. Western Blotting5-20 ng/mL will allow visualization of 100 ng/lane of TGF-beta. Reacts with dimeric (25 Kd)

TGF beta 1 (Transforming Growth Factor Beta 1) is a multifunctional peptide capable of influencing cell proliferation, differentiation, and other functions in a wide range of cell types. Transformed as well as non neoplastic tissues, release transforming growth factors, and essentially all cells possess a specific TGF beta 1 receptor. The multimodal nature of TGF beta 1 is seen in its ability to stimulate or inhibit cellular proliferation. TGF beta 1 plays a fundamental role in tissue growth and differentiation involvement in adipogenesis, myogenesis, chondrogenesis, osteogenesis, epithelial cell differentiation and immune cell function. The C-terminal 112 amino acids constitute the mature protein.Synonyms: TGF-beta-1, TGFB, Transforming growth factor beta-1
