Human Fibroblast Growth Factor 2, Basic (FGF2) ELISA Kit

The Assay Genie human FGF2 (basic fibroblast growth factor) immunoassay kit quantifies basic FGF across cell culture supernatants, tissue homogenates, cell lysates, plasma, and serum samples. As a heparin-binding growth factor implicated in angiogenesis, wound repair, stem cell maintenance, and tumor vascularization, FGF2 supports research in regenerative medicine, cancer biology, and developmental signaling, where it serves as a marker of paracrine activity and angiogenic drive.

Built around a competitive immunoassay workflow with absorbance-based readout, the kit is supplied in a microplate format providing 96 determinations. Unopened reagents should be stored refrigerated at approximately 4°C until first use to preserve antibody binding activity, and standard ELISA wash and incubation steps are used without specialized equipment. The assay is intended for research use only, supporting both in vitro studies of growth factor signaling and ex vivo analysis of human-derived tissue samples.

Researchers studying mesenchymal stem cell expansion, tumor microenvironment crosstalk, or endothelial tube formation will find FGF2 measurement useful for characterizing paracrine signaling. Compatible specimens include cell culture supernatants from mesenchymal and endothelial cultures, tissue homogenates from wound healing models, plasma, and serum. The kit runs on standard plate readers capable of measuring absorbance in the visible range and accommodates typical throughput for academic and translational research laboratories.
