Product Data

• Applications: ELISA, FN, IHC, WB
• Recommended Dilution: Immunhistochemistry: This antibody stained formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded sections of human breast invasive ductal carcinoma. The recommended concentration is 0.50 µg/ml with an overnight incubation at 4˚C. An HRP-labeled polymer detection system was used with a DAB chromogen. Optimal results for these conditions were achieved without antigen retrieval.
  Neutralization: To yield one-half maximal inhibition [ND50] of the biological activity of hIGF-1 (5.0 ng/ml), a concentration of 0.67 - 1.0 µg/ml of this antibody is required.
  ELISA: To detect hIGF-1 by ELISA (using 100 µl/well antibody solution) a concentration
  of 0.5 - 2.0 µg/ml of this antibody is required. This allows the detection of 0.2 - 0.4 ng/well of recombinant hIGF-1.
  Western blot: 0.1 - 0.2 µg/ml. The detection limit for recombinant hIGF-1 is 1.5 - 3.0 ng/lane, under either reducing or non-reducing conditions.

• Background: Insulin is a pancreatic hormone that regulates glucose uptake and the synthesis of protein and fat. The insulin like growth factors, isolated from plasma, are structurally and functionally related to insulin but have a much higher growth promoting activity. IGF1 (Insulin Like Growth Factor I) is a polypeptide growth factor, which stimulates the proliferation of a wide range of cell types including muscle, bone, and cartilage tissue. IGF1 functions as an autocrine regulator of growth.
• Synonyms: IGF-I, Somatomedin-C, Mechano growth factor, MGF, IBP1
