Product Summary for Human TGF-beta 2 Quantikine ELISA Kit
The Quantikine Human TGF-beta 2 Immunoassay is a 4.5 hour solid-phase ELISA designed to measure activated TGF-beta 2 in cell culture supernates, serum, and plasma. The Quantikine Human TGF-beta 2 Immunoassay contains CHO cell-derived recombinant human TGF-beta 2 and antibodies raised against the recombinant protein. The assay has been shown to quantitate the recombinant factor accurately. Results obtained using human TGF-beta 2 showed linear curves that were parallel to the standard curves obtained using the recombinant TGF-beta 2 kit standards. These results indicate that this kit can be used to determine relative mass values for natural human TGF-beta 2.

Recovery for Human TGF-beta 2 Quantikine ELISA Kit
To assess recovery of the assay, samples of various matrices were spiked with three concentrations of TGF-beta 2, activated, and measured in the assay.
| Sample Type | Average % Recovery | Range % |
|---|---|---|
| Cell Culture Media (n=5) | 101 | 89-113 |
| Citrate Plasma (n=5) | 107 | 93-116 |

Linearity
To assess the linearity of the assay, samples were spiked with high concentrations of TGF-beta 2, activated and then serially diluted with Calibrator Diluent to produce samples with values within the dynamic range of the assay.

Background: TGF-beta 2
The signal transducing receptor for TGF-beta 2 is a heterotetrameric complex of two type I
signal-transducing receptors (53 kDa; TGF-beta RI) and two type II ligand-binding receptors
(75-85 kDa; TGF-beta RII) (14-19). The binding of TGF-beta 2 appears to initially involve a type III TGF-beta
receptor, either 300 kDa betaglycan (20) or 180 kDa endoglin (14, 21), which then "hands off"
to TGF-beta RII.
TGF-beta 2 is expressed by a variety of cells, including osteoclasts, thymic epithelium,
keratinocytes, hepatocytes, chief cells of the stomach, satellite cells, skeletal muscle cells,
prostatic epithelium, bronchial epithelium, neurons and astrocytes, fibroblasts and visceral
smooth muscle, and macrophages (14-19). TGF-beta 2 has marked cross-species bioactivity
(e.g., human TGF-beta 2 is active on mouse cells (33), while porcine TGF-beta 2 is active on rabbit
cells (34)). TGF-beta 2 has four fundamental activities: it is a growth inhibitor for most types of
cells; it enhances the deposition of extracellular matrix; it is immunosuppressive, suppressing
APC expression of both IL-12 and CD40L while upregulating IL-10 secretion; and during fetal
development, it is expressed in discrete areas, such as epithelium, myocardium, cartilage and
bone of extremities and in the nervous system, suggesting specific functions (1, 35-37).
