Detection of FGF basic/FGF2/bFGF in A172 cells (positive) and Daudi cells (negative). FGF basic/FGF2/bFGF was detected in immersion fixed A172 human glioblastoma cells (positive) and absent in Daudi human Burkitt's lymphoma cells (negative) using Mouse Anti-Human FGF basic/FGF2/bFGF Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB2333) at 8 µg/mL for 3 hours at room temperature. Cells were stained using the NorthernLights™ 557-conjugated Anti-Rat IgG Secondary Antibody (red; Catalog # NL013) and counterstained with DAPI (blue). Specific staining was localized to cytoplasm.

Background: FGF basic/FGF2/bFGF

FGF basic, also known as FGF-2 and HBGF-2, is a member of the FGF family of mitogenic proteins. FGF basic is widely expressed and affects diverse aspects of embryonic development by regulating cell proliferation, differentiation, and survival. Various N-terminal extensions affect localization of FGF basic in cellular compartments but do not affect biological activity. Binding of FGF to heparin or cell surface heparan sulfate proteoglycans is necessary for binding of FGF to high affinity FGF receptors. Mature human FGF basic shares greater than 96% aa sequence identity with bovine, mouse, and rat FGF basic.
