Immunogen
Recombinant human IGF-II
DS-PB-01054 is specific for human IGF-II (Insulin-like Growth Factor II), a 67 amino acid mitogenic polypeptide and member of the Insulin gene family, synthesized by various foetal tissues during prenatal development, under the influence of placental lactogen. IGF-II is a growth factor which exhibits both paracrine and autocrine properties and signals by binding to the type 1 and type 2 insulin-like growth factor receptors (type 1 IGFR and type 2 IGFR), and also to the insulin receptor (IR). The availability of IGF-II is dependent upon its attachment to, and release from, various IGF binding proteins (IGFBPs), a relationship which has been investigated in breast cancer research.

DS-PB-01054 may be used in an indirect ELISA or as a capture reagent in a sandwich ELISA with DS-PB-02647 as the detection antibody.
Prior to reconstitution store at +4 °C.
After reconstitution store at -20 °C.
Storage in frost-free freezers is not recommended. This product should be stored undiluted. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing as this may denature the antibody. Should this product contain a precipitate we recommend microcentrifugation before use.
If stored in this manner, this product is stable for 12 months from the date of reconstitution.
Immunoassay (ELISA, Western Blot)
We recommend a dilution of 1:5000 - 1:10000.
Expiration:
12 months from the date of shipment when stored properly.
