Scientific Data Images for Human PD-ECGF/Thymidine Phosphorylase Antibody

Detection of Human PD-ECGF/Thymidine Phosphorylase antibody by Western Blot.

Detection of Human PD-ECGF/Thymidine Phosphorylase by Western Blot.

Western blot shows lysates of A431 human epithelial carcinoma cell line. PVDF membrane was probed with 0.1 µg/mL of Goat Anti-Human PD-ECGF/Thymidine Phosphorylase Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF1143) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Goat IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF017). A specific band was detected for PD-ECGF/Thymidine Phosphorylase at approximately 49 kDa (as indicated). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 1.
PD-ECGF/Thymidine Phosphorylase antibody in Human Prostate Cancer Tissue by Immunohistochemistry (IHC-P).

PD‑ECGF/Thymidine Phosphorylase in Human Prostate Cancer Tissue.

PD-ECGF/Thymidine Phosphorylase was detected in immersion fixed paraffin-embedded sections of human prostate cancer tissue using 5 µg/mL Goat Anti-Human PD-ECGF/Thymidine Phosphorylase Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF1143) overnight at 4 °C. Tissue was stained with the Anti-Goat HRP-DAB Cell & Tissue Staining Kit (brown; Catalog # CTS008) and counter-stained with hematoxylin (blue).

Cell Proliferation Induced by PD‑ECGF/Thymidine Phosphorylase and Neutralization by Human PD‑ECGF/Thymidine Phosphorylase Antibody.

Cell Proliferation Induced by PD‑ECGF/Thymidine Phosphorylase and Neutralization by Human PD‑ECGF/Thymidine Phosphorylase Antibody.

Recombinant Human PD-ECGF/Thymidine Phosphorylase (Catalog # 229-PE) stimulates proliferation in HUVEC human umbilical vein endothelial cells in a dose-dependent manner (orange line). Proliferation elicited by Recombinant Human PD-ECGF/Thymidine Phosphorylase (150 ng/mL) is neutralized (green line) by increasing concentrations of Human PD-ECGF/Thymidine Phosphorylase Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF1143). The ND50 is typically 0.5-2.0 µg/mL.

Applications for Human PD-ECGF/Thymidine Phosphorylase Antibody

Application
Recommended Usage

Immunohistochemistry

5-15 µg/mL
Sample: Immersion fixed paraffin-embedded sections of human prostate cancer tissue

Western Blot

0.1 µg/mL
Sample: A431 human epithelial carcinoma cell line

Neutralization

Measured by its ability to neutralize PD‑ECGF/Thymidine Phosphorylase-induced proliferation in HUVEC human umbilical vein endothelial cells. Usuki, K. et al. (1990) Cell Regulation 1:577. The Neutralization Dose (ND50) is typically 0.5-2.0 µg/mL in the presence of 150 ng/mL Recombinant Human PD‑ECGF/Thymidine Phosphorylase.

Background: PD-ECGF/Thymidine Phosphorylase

PD-ECGF, also known as TPase and gliostatin, is produced by placenta, platelets, liver, lung, spleen, lymph nodes, and peripheral lymphocytes. It is overexpressed by many tumors in response to chemical or physical stress. PD-ECGF promotes endothelial cell proliferation and chemotaxis and promotes angiogenesis. PD-ECGF is a key enzyme in the pyrimidine nucleoside salvage pathway. It also metabolizes and inactivates chemotherapeutic drugs such as 5-fluorouracil and its derivatives. The human PD-ECGF cDNA encodes a 482 amino acid (aa) polypeptide with a 10 aa propeptide. The protein is localized mostly within the producer cells. N-terminal truncation, resulting in proteins lacking 10 aa and 6 aa, has been observed in PD-ECGF purified from platelets and placenta, respectively. In solution, PD-ECGF exists as a non-disulfide linked homodimer. The latter protein was purified from quiescent astrocytes and described as an astrocyte and astrocytoma cell growth inhibitor based on its ability to inhibit 3H-thymidine incorporation.
