Application Notes
Bioactivity: Anti-FGF basic (1-24) was tested in cell culture using fetal bovine heart endothelial cells (ATCC CRL 1395) plated at low cell density. Various dilutions of Anti-FGF basic(1-24) were pre incubated at 37 C with FGF basic or FGF acidic for 2 hours. Anti-FGF basic (1-24) caused a dose-dependent decrease in the mitogenic activity of FGF basic such that a final dilution of 1:50 neutralized the bioactivity of 1 unit of FGF basic.
Please Note: Optimal dilutions of this antibody should be experimentally determined.

Background: FGF basic/FGF2/bFGF

FGF basic/FGF2/bFGF is a growth factor that functions in angiogenesis, wound healing, tissue repair, learning and memory, and the morphogenesis of heart, bone, and brain. It is upregulated in response to inflammatory stimuli and in many tumors. FGF basic/FGF2/bFGF binds to FGFR1c and 2c. Its bioactivity is modulated by a number of other binding partners including heparin, Integrin alpha V beta 3, soluble FGFR1, FGF-BP, free gangliosides, Thrombospondin, Pentraxin 3/TSG-14, Fibrinogen, alpha 2-Macroglobulin, PDGF, and CXCL4/PF4. These molecules act as cellular coreceptors or adhesion partners, extracellular matrix decoys or reservoirs, and soluble scavengers or chaperones. In particular, the interaction of FGF basic/FGF2/bFGF with cell surface heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPG) is required for the binding and activation of FGF receptors.
