LEGEND MAX™ Human FGF-basic ELISA Kit with Pre-coated Plates 5 Pre-coated Plates

Fibroblast growth factor-basic (FGF-basic) is a heparin-binding growth factor which belongs to a family of fibroblast growth factors (FGFs). FGF family members share 35-60% amino acid sequence homology and are highly conserved among species. FGF-basic has been isolated from neural, pituitary, adrenal cortical, and placental tissues. Human FGF-basic is a 17.2 kD protein containing 154 amino acids. Other isofoms (22, 22.5, 24 and 34 kD) have also been reported with distinct intracellular localizations and functions. FGFs are involved in many physiological and pathological processes including embryonic development, neuronal outgrowth, angiogenesis, and malignant transformation. FGF-basic is essential for the development and maintenance of vascular integrity during embryogenesis and is also a major angiogenic factor involved in wound healing, cardiovascular disease, and tumor neovascularization.

BioLegend’s LEGEND MAX™ Human FGF-basic ELISA Kit is a sandwich Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA), in which, a human FGF-basic specific monoclonal antibody is pre-coated on a 96-well strip-well plate.

BioLegend’s LEGEND MAX™ Human FGF-basic ELISA Kit is specifically designed for the accurate quantitation of human FGF-basic from cell culture supernatant, serum, plasma or other bodily fluids. It is ready-to-use, accurate, and sensitive.
