Anti-FGF21 antibody (ab66564)

Key features and details

  • Rabbit polyclonal to FGF21
  • Suitable for: WB, IHC-P
  • Reacts with: Human
  • Isotype: IgG

Overview

  • Product name

    Anti-FGF21 antibody
    See all FGF21 primary antibodies

  • Description

    Rabbit polyclonal to FGF21

  • Host species

    Rabbit

  • Specificity

    Expression levels of the target protein vary with sample type and some optimisation may be required (PMID: 27285327).  For western blot using cell lines, it may be necessary to collect cell culture supernatant for endogenous FGF21 detection as the target protein is readily secreted (PMID: 24041694; PMID: 26691139).

    • This antibody gave a positive signal on Full length FGF-21 Recombinant Protein (Human) IHC-P: Human liver HCC tissue

  • General notes

    Reproducibility is key to advancing scientific discovery and accelerating scientists’ next breakthrough.

    Abcam is leading the way with our range of recombinant antibodies, knockout-validated antibodies and knockout cell lines, all of which support improved reproducibility.

    We are also planning to innovate the way in which we present recommended applications and species on our product datasheets, so that only applications & species that have been tested in our own labs, our suppliers or by selected trusted collaborators are covered by our Abpromise™ guarantee.

    In preparation for this, we have started to update the applications & species that this product is Abpromise guaranteed for.

    We are also updating the applications & species that this product has been “predicted to work with,” however this information is not covered by our Abpromise guarantee.

    Applications & species from publications and Abreviews that have not been tested in our own labs or in those of our suppliers are not covered by the Abpromise guarantee.

    Please check that this product meets your needs before purchasing. If you have any questions, special requirements or concerns, please send us an inquiry and/or contact our Support team ahead of purchase. Recommended alternatives for this product can be found below, as well as customer reviews and Q&As.

      IHC image of FGF21 antibody staining in a section of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded human liver HCC* tissue performed on a Leica BONDTM system using the standard protocol. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH6, epitope retrieval solution 1) for 20mins. The section was then incubated with ab66564, 5ug/ml, for 15 mins at room temperature and detected using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. The section was then counterstained with haematoxylin and mounted with DPX.

      For other IHC staining systems (automated and non-automated) customers should optimize variable parameters such as antigen retrieval conditions, primary antibody concentration and antibody incubation times.
