Rabbit TGF Beta 1 ELISA Kit PicoKine® (96 Tests). Quantitate Rabbit TGFB1 in cell culture supeatants, serum, plasma (EDTA) and urine. Sensitivity: 1pg/ml. The brand Picokine indicates this is a premium quality ELISA kit. Each Picokine kit delivers precise quantification, high sensitivity, and excellent reproducibility. Only our most reliable and effective kits qualify as Picokine, guaranteeing top-tier results for your assays.
Cell culture supeatants, urine: add activating reagent pro rata, i.e. add 20?l of Solution A into 100?l of sample, 10 min later, add 20?l of Solution B. PH 7.0-7.6.
Serum, plasma(EDTA): add activating reagent pro rata, i.e. add 20?l of Solution A into 40?l of sample, 10 min later, add 20?l of Solution B. PH 7.0-7.6.
It is unnecessary to activate the recombinant TGF? 1.
Sample was diluted partly after adding activating reagent, so please pay attention to this when calculate target protein concentration.

Activating Reagent
TGF beta 1 is mostly contained as inactive form in samples, please activate it before assay. Don't activate recombinant TGF beta 1. Solution A: 1N HCI: add 8.33ml of 12N HCI into 91.67ml of H2O. Solution B: 1.2N NaOH/0.5M HEPES: add 12ml of 10N NaOH and 11.9g HEPES into 75ml of H2O, add H2O to adjust volume to 100ml.

Protein Function
Multifunctional protein that controls proliferation, differentiation and other functions in many cell types. Many cells synthesize TGFB1 and have specific receptors for it. It positively and negatively regulates many other growth factors. It plays an important role in bone remodeling as it is a potent stimulator of osteoblastic bone formation, causing chemotaxis, proliferation and differentiation in committed osteoblasts. Can promote either T- helper 17 cells (Th17) or regulatory T-cells (Treg) lineage differentiation in a concentration-dependent manner. At high concentrations, leads to FOXP3-mediated suppression of RORC and down-regulation of IL-17 expression, favoring Treg cell development. At low concentrations in concert with IL-6 and IL-21, leads to expression of the IL-17 and IL-23 receptors, favoring differentiation to Th17 cells. .
Background
Transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1) is a multifunctional peptide that controls proliferation, differentiation, and other functions in many cell types. Many cells synthesize TGF-beta and essentially all of them have specific receptors for this peptide. TGF-beta regulates the actions of many other peptide growth factors and determines a positive or negative ion of their effects.TGFbeta1 is known for its potent and diverse biological effects, including immune regulation, and cell growth and differentiation.TGFbeta1 is also an important mediator of bone remodeling.TGFbeta1, a potent keratinocyte growth inhibitor, has been shown to be overexpressed in keratinocytes in certain inflammatory skin diseases and has been thought to counteract the effects of other growth factors at the site of inflammation.TGF-beta1, a multifunctional cytokine with fibrogenic properties, has been implicated in the pathogenesis of the vascular and target organ complications of hypertension. TGF-beta1 may also regulate blood pressure via stimulation of endothelin-1 and/or renin secretion. TGFbeta1 is secreted as a latent form, which consists of its mature form and a latency-associated peptide (beta1-LAP) in either the presence or the absence of additional latent TGF-beta1-binding protein. The standard product used in this kit is recombinant TGFbeta1 with the molecular mass of 25KDa.
