Anti-TGF beta Antibody [2E6] - Identical to Thermo (MA1-21479)

This mouse monoclonal IgG1 antibody (clone 2E6) targets human Transforming Growth Factor beta and is offered as a 100 µg lyophilised aliquot by Antibodies.com. The 2E6 clone is the same reagent distributed under the Thermo Fisher designation MA1-21479, so existing assay protocols transfer directly without re-optimisation of antibody concentration or incubation conditions.

Validated applications include ELISA and Western blot, covering both quantitative ligand measurement in conditioned media and visualisation of the mature cytokine band in cell lysates run under reducing conditions. Because the antibody is unconjugated, laboratories can pair it with HRP, biotin, or fluorophore labelling chemistry, and the reagent reacts specifically with human TGF-beta.

Lyophilised material should be reconstituted in sterile buffer as described in the accompanying data sheet; once in solution, store refrigerated and aliquot to limit freeze-thaw cycles for long-term stability. Typical applications include fibrosis research, epithelial-mesenchymal transition studies, wound healing models, and inflammation work where active TGF-beta is distinguished from related family members in complex biological samples. Researchers tracking secreted cytokine output in cell culture commonly apply this antibody to serum-free supernatant fractions.
