Anti-TGFβ1 Antibody

Raised in rabbit, this unconjugated polyclonal antibody from Antibodies.com targets transforming growth factor beta 1, a secreted cytokine with central roles in inflammation, fibrosis, wound repair, and immune regulation. The reagent is supplied as 100 µl of ready-to-use antiserum and has been validated for Western blot, immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, and ELISA workflows across human, mouse, and rat samples. Researchers commonly apply it to study Smad signaling, epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition, tumor microenvironment interactions, and fibrotic disease models in cell culture and tissue sections. The polyclonal format increases the likelihood of recognizing multiple epitopes on both the latent and active forms of the cytokine, supporting detection in fixed and frozen preparations as well as in cell lysates. Storage at -20 °C in single-use aliquots helps preserve activity through repeated freeze-thaw cycles, and the unconjugated format allows pairing with HRP, fluorophore, or biotin labels of the user's choice. Whether used to monitor cytokine release in conditioned media, map expression patterns in tumor biopsies, or follow pathway activation in injured tissue, the reagent provides a flexible tool for basic and translational research programs.
