FGF Basic antibody | MC-GF1
Mouse anti Human FGF basic antibody, clone MC-GF1 (MCA1400G) used for the evaluation of FGF-2 in nuclear extracts of STAV-AB cells inmmunoprecipitated with an anti Syndecan-1 antibody by western blotting.
Image caption:
Syndecan-1 and FGF-2 co-immunoprecipitate in the nucleus of the STAV-AB cells.
Co-IP and immunoblotting were performed on nuclear extracts of sub-confluent cultures of the STAV-AB cells, stably transfected with syndecan-1/EGFP construct or EGFP vector, as described in “Materials and Methods”. Nuclear extract (100 μg) was incubated with 3 μg of syndecan-1 antibody, or with no antibody (negative control). The nuclear precipitates from equal amounts of control and sample proteins were slot-blotted onto a nitrocellulose membrane and then probed with antibody to FGF-2. A crude nuclear extract from syndecan-1/EGFP transfected cells was used as positive control. Co-IP using a specific antibody to syndecan-1 also pulled down FGF-2, as compared to the negative control. The amount of FGF-2 was higher in nuclear extracts from syndecan-1 overexpressing cells, compared to the EGFP control.

Mouse anti Human FGF basic antibody, clone MC-GF1 (MCA1400G) used for the evaluation of endogenous FGF-2 expression in the nucleus of STAV-AB cells by immunofluorescence.
Image caption:
The sub-cellular localization of exogenously added FGF-2 differs from that of endogenous FGF2.
In the STAV-AB cells, no nuclear accumulation of exogenously added Alexa 488-labeled FGF-2 could be observed 42 hours after seeding (A). In parallel, immunocytochemical staining (B) showed the presence of an endogenous pool of FGF-2 (green) in the nucleus, whereas syndecan-1 (red) remained cytoplasmic at this time point.
