They can be used for the dilution of serum, plasma, blood, stool or urine samples, as well as the dilution of primary and secondary antibodies. Effect Diluents, Animal-free efficiently minimize matrix effects, cross-reactions and unspecific binding in immunoassays like ELISA, Western blotting, Immunohistochemistry, protein arrays and immuno-PCR.The Effect Diluents, Animal-free are used alternatively to the standard sample or antibody dilution buffers: In ELISA for the dilution of specimen and detection antibodies. In Western Blotting for the dilution of primary and secondary antibodies. In Protein arrays for the dilution of specimen and detection antibodies. In immuno-PCR as a washing buffer.Three versions of the diluent are offered: Low, Medium and High for optimal discrimination between specific and unspecific reaction and for minimizing strong interference effects e.g., by RF (rheumatoid factors), HAMAs (human-a-mouse Abs) or by endogenous components that bind and mask the analyte.Composition & Properties The Effect Diluents, Animal free contain no animal components and are free of phosphates.Working Procedure 1.Mix thoroughly prior to use. 2.Dilution recommendations a.Dilute antibodies according to the instruction of the antibody b.Dilution of the specimen is recommended at 1:2 or higherTips & TricksEffect Diluents must not be considered as blocking buffers. Recommended blocking buffers are: Synthetic Blocking Buffer, ELISA (cat. no. S494401), Synthetic Blocking Buffer, Blotting (cat. no. S494457) and WellChampion (cat. no. W494467) for plate blocking and stabilization (preparation of pre-coated plates). Complex sample matrices, such as serum and plasma, may contain interfering factors that affect the ability of the assay to accurately quantify the target analyte. Strong interferences are often caused by RFs and HAMAs. This matrix effect can cause high background in the negative control or false negatives in the sample measurement. To reduce this effect the samples can be diluted in the Effect Diluents, Animalfree.Handling & Storage Store solution 2-8°C or -15 to -30°C (tolerates freezing and thawing cycles)...

KGF expression is restricted to cells of mesenchymal origin. When secreted, it acts as a paracrine growth factor for nearby epithelial cells (1). KGF speeds wound healing by being dramatically upregulated in response to damage to skin or internal structures that results in high local concentrations of inflammatory mediators such as IL-1 and TNF-alpha. (2, 5). KGF promotes cell migration and invasion, and mediates melanocyte transfer to keratinocytes upon UVB radiation (6, 7). It has been used ectopically to avoid chemotherapy-induced oral mucositis in patients with hematological malignancies (1). Deletion of KGF affects kidney development, producing abnormally small ureteric buds and fewer nephrons (8). It also impedes hair follicle differentiation (9). The 194 amino acid (aa) KGF precursor contains a 31 aa signal sequence and, like all other FGFs, an ~120 aa beta -trefoil scaffold that includes receptor- and heparin-binding sites. KGF signals only through the IIIb splice form of the tyrosine kinase receptor, FGF R2 (FGF R2-IIIb/KGF R) (10). Receptor dimerization requires an octameric or larger heparin or heparin sulfate proteoglycan (11). FGF-10, also called KGF2, shares 51% aa identity and similar function to KGF, but shows more limited expression than KGF and uses an additional receptor, FGF R2-IIIc (12). Following receptor engagement, KGF is typically degraded, while FGF-10 is recycled (12). Mature human KGF, which is active across species, shares 98% aa sequence identity with bovine, equine, ovine and canine, 96% with mouse and porcine, and 92% with rat KGF, respectively... Read More |
