Activity

(Transforming growth factor alpha (TGF-alpha), a ligand for the epidermal growth factor receptor, which activates a signaling pathway for cell proliferation, differentiation and development. To test the effect of TGF-alpha on cell proliferation of 3T3 fibroblasts, 3T3 cells were seeded into triplicate wells of 96-well plates at a density of 2, 000 cells/well and allowed to attach overnight, then the medium was replaced with serum-free standard DMEM prior to the addition of various concentrations of TGF-alpha. After incubated for 72h, cells were observed by inverted microscope and cell proliferation was measured by Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8). Briefly, 10uL of CCK-8 solution was added to each well of the plate, then measure the absorbance at 450nm using a microplate reader after incubating the plate for 1-4 hours at 37 degree C.Cell proliferation of 3T3 cells after incubation with TGF-alpha for 72h observed by inverted microscope was shown in Figure 1.)

Product Notes

The TGFa tgfa (Catalog #AAA148232) is an Active Protein produced from E Coli and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The Active Transforming Growth Factor Alpha (TGFa) reacts with Human and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's Transforming Growth Factor Alpha (TGFa) can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Activity Assay, Cell Culture. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the TGFa tgfa for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Transforming Growth Factor Alpha (TGFa), Active Protein" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.
