Anti-bFGF Antibody [F-74]

Clone F-74 is a mouse monoclonal IgG2a antibody raised against human basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF, also called FGF2), an 18 kDa heparin-binding cytokine that drives angiogenesis, wound healing, and stem-cell self-renewal. Distributed by Antibodies.com as a 100 µg lyophilised preparation, the unconjugated reagent is validated for ELISA and Western blot workflows, where it cleanly detects endogenous FGF2 in cell lysates, conditioned media, and tissue extracts. The clone is widely used in studies of tumour vascularisation, neural development, and fibroblast biology, providing a reliable reagent for confirming FGF2 expression by immunoblotting or capturing soluble bFGF in immunoassays. Reconstitute the lyophilised pellet in sterile buffer, aliquot to minimise freeze-thaw cycles, store working dilutions refrigerated for short-term use, and keep the lyophilised stock at -20 °C for long-term stability.
