Product Summary for Human FGF-19 Quantikine ELISA

The Quantikine Human FGF-19 Immunoassay is a 4.5 hour solid-phase ELISA designed to measure human FGF-19 in cell culture supernates, serum, and plasma. It contains E. coli-expressed recombinant human FGF-19 and has been shown to accurately quantitate the recombinant factor. Results obtained using natural human FGF-19 showed linear curves that were parallel to the standard curves obtained using the Quantikine kit standards. These results indicate that this kit can be used to determine relative mass values for naturally occurring human FGF-19.

Cell Culture Supernates:
Human peripheral blood cells (1 x 106 cells/mL) were cultured in DMEM supplemented with 5% fetal bovine serum, 5 μM beta -mercaptoethanol, 2 mM L-glutamine, 100 U/mL penicillin, and 100 μg/mL streptomycin sulfate. Cells were cultured unstimulated or stimulated with 10 μg/mL PHA. Aliquots of the cell culture supernates were removed and assayed for levels of human FGF-19. No detectable levels were observed.

COLO 205 human colon adenocarcinoma cells were cultured in RPMI 1640 supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum and 2 mM L-glutamine. An aliquot of the cell culture supernate was removed on day three, assayed for human FGF-19, and measured 17,072 pg/mL.

HT-29 human colon adenocarcinoma cells were cultured with McCoy's 5a media supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum until confluent. Aliquots of the cell culture supernate were removed, assayed for human FGF-19, and measured 5714 pg/mL.

Background: FGF-19

The Fibroblast Growth Factor (FGF) family consists of at least 22 highly conserved proteins and are found in many species ranging from C. elegans and Drosophila to humans (1). FGFs are heparin-binding growth factors with a core 120 amino acid (aa) FGF domain that allows for a common tertiary structure. In general, FGFs are expressed during embryonic development and in restricted adult tissues. They act on cells of mesodermal and neuroectodermal origin to regulate diverse physiologic functions including angiogenesis, cell growth, pattern formation, metabolic regulation, cell migration, neurotrophic effects, and tissue repair (2). The activities of the FGF family are mediated by four receptors, FGF R1 through FGF R4 (2). The receptors are transmembrane proteins with a tyrosine kinase domain and are thought to act as classical receptor tyrosine kinases. FGF R5/FGF RL1 has also been described, but lacks the kinase domain and signaling capability (3). 
Human FGF-19 cDNA predicts a 251 aa precursor protein with a 22 aa signal peptide and a 229 aa secreted mature protein with no potential N-linked glycosylation sites (4, 5). It shares approximately 50% aa sequence identity with mouse and rat FGF-15 and 62% aa sequence identity with chicken FGF-19 (4-6). Unlike most FGFs, which bind to and activate more than one FGF receptor, FGF-19 appears to bind only FGF R4 (5). Receptor binding is capable of activating MAP Kinase and inducing the Prolactin promoter (7). FGF-19 has two putative disulfide bonds, one of which is conserved in the FGF family (8). Uniquely, it also has an extended loop structure that may affect heparan sulfate binding (8). 
The functional roles of FGF-19 continue to be elucidated and include developmental, metabolic, and tumorigenic activities. During chick embryogenesis, FGF-19 has been shown to act synergistically with Wnt-8c to initiate inner ear development (6). However, the mouse FGF-19 ortholog, FGF-15, is not required for this activity (9). FGF-19 is also expressed in the embryonic chicken eye where it may play a role in lens development (10). Questions regarding the functions of human FGF-19 have been addressed using ectopic expression. Transgenic over-expression of human FGF-19 in mice results in tumor formation, increased energy expenditure, decreased adiposity, and a resistance to weight gain in response to a high fat diet (11, 12). Similar affects have been observed in mice treated intravenously with recombinant FGF-19 (13).
