Anti-FGF1 Antibody

Raised in rabbit against recombinant human FGF1, this unconjugated polyclonal antibody recognizes acidic fibroblast growth factor (aFGF), a 17.5 kDa heparin-binding mitogen that drives angiogenesis, fibroblast proliferation, and tissue repair signaling through FGFR1-4. The reagent from Antibodies.com is provided at 1 mg/ml in PBS with 0.1% sodium azide and 50% glycerol, shipped as a 100 µl vial ready for Western blot detection of endogenous FGF1 in cell and tissue lysates. Researchers commonly resolve FGF1 on standard SDS-PAGE gels and observe a band near 17-18 kDa, making it a reliable marker when probing lysates from human and mouse systems in cell culture and in vivo contexts. Store aliquots at -20 °C and protect from light to preserve antibody activity, avoiding repeated freeze-thaw cycles of the stock. The reagent is validated for cross-reactivity with both human and mouse FGF1 and is frequently used in studies of developmental biology, ischemic tissue response, wound healing, and tumor microenvironment research.
