FGF basic/FGF2/bFGF is a growth factor that functions in angiogenesis, wound healing, tissue repair, learning and memory, and the morphogenesis of heart, bone, and brain. It is upregulated in response to inflammatory stimuli and in many tumors. FGF basic/FGF2/bFGF binds to FGFR1c and 2c. Its bioactivity is modulated by a number of other binding partners including heparin, Integrin alpha V beta 3, soluble FGFR1, FGF-BP, free gangliosides, Thrombospondin, Pentraxin 3/TSG-14, Fibrinogen, alpha 2-Macroglobulin, PDGF, and CXCL4/PF4. These molecules act as cellular coreceptors or adhesion partners, extracellular matrix decoys or reservoirs, and soluble scavengers or chaperones. In particular, the interaction of FGF basic/FGF2/bFGF with cell surface heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPG) is required for the binding and activation of FGF receptors.

Product Summary for Human FGF basic/FGF2/bFGF Quantikine ELISA Kit
The Quantikine Human FGF basic Immunoassay kit is a 4.5 hour solid phase ELISA designed to measure human FGF basic in cell culture supernates, serum, and plasma. It contains E. coli-expressed recombinant human FGF basic and antibodies raised against the recombinant factor. It has been shown to quantitate recombinant human FGF basic accurately. Results obtained using natural human FGF basic 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 natural human FGF basic.

Sample Values
Serum/Plasma - Samples from apparently healthy volunteers were evaluated for the presence
of human FGF basic in this assay. No medical histories were available for the donors used in this
study.

Cell Culture Supernates:
Human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (5 x 106
cells/mL) were cultured in RPMI
supplemented with 5% fetal bovine serum, 50 μM beta -mercaptoethanol, 2 mM L-glutamine,
100 U/mL penicillin, and 100 μg/mL streptomycin sulfate. The cells were stimulated with
10 μg/mL PHA. Aliquots of the culture supernates were removed on days 1 and 5 and assayed
for levels of natural human FGF basic. All samples measured below the lowest standard,
10 pg/mL.
K562 human chronic myelogenous leukemia cells (4 x 104
cells/mL) were cultured in RPMI
supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum, 2 mM L-glutamine, 100 U/mL penicillin, and
100 μg/mL streptomycin sulfate. An aliquot of the cell culture supernate was removed on
day 3, assayed for natural human FGF basic, and measured 34 pg/mL.
PC-3 human prostate cancer cells were cultured in MEM supplemented with 10% fetal bovine
serum, 2 mM L-glutamine, 100 U/mL penicillin, and 100 μg/mL streptomycin sulfate. The cells
were stimulated with 10 μg TNF-alpha. An aliquot of the cell culture supernate was removed,
assayed for natural human FGF basic, and measured 27 pg/mL.
