Anti-GDF-15 Antibody

For studies of human growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF-15), this rabbit polyclonal primary antibody provides an unconjugated reagent for Western blot and ELISA workflows. Antibodies.com supplies the antibody in a 100 µl size, with reactivity directed against the human target.

GDF-15 is a stress-inducible cytokine in the TGF-β superfamily. Researchers use GDF-15 detection to investigate inflammatory and stress-response signaling, metabolic and cardiovascular biology, tumor-associated pathways, and the protein's value as a candidate biomarker. The polyclonal format recognizes multiple epitopes, while the unconjugated chemistry allows users to select a compatible labeled secondary antibody or integrate the reagent into an established detection platform.

Typical laboratory applications include probing human cell or tissue lysates by Western blot and incorporating the antibody into ELISA experiments. Appropriate positive and negative controls should be included, and sample preparation and secondary detection conditions should be optimized for the specimen and assay. This reagent is intended for research use and does not replace a validated diagnostic assay.
