Background
TGF-β1 activities include proliferation, angiogenesis and promotion or inhibition of many immune events (1-3). TGF-β1 is produced by a number of cell types including regulatory T cells, fibroblasts, epithelial cells, and endothelial cells (3). TGF-β1 binds to TβRII homodimer, which then complexes with TβRI homodimer (1,4). The oligomeric receptor complex phosphorylates subsets of the SMAD proteins that then act to induce and repress a number of target genes (1,3,4). TGF-β1 binding can also activate the Erk2, p38, and JNK pathways via TAK1 (4). TGF-β1 appears to promote late stage progression and metastasis in some cancers (1,2).
Endotoxin
Less than 0.01 ng endotoxin/1 μg hTGF-β1.
Purity
>98% as determined by SDS-PAGE of 6 μg reduced (+) and non-reduced (-) recombinant hTGF-β1. Less than 1% migrates as monomer hTGF-β1 under non-reduced (-) conditions. All lots are greater than 98% pure.
Source / Purification
Recombinant human TGF-β1 (hTGF-β1) Ala279-Ser390 (Accession #P01137) was expressed in human 293 cells at Cell Signaling Technology.
Bioactivity
The bioactivity of recombinant hTGF-β1 was determined by assessing inhibition of IL-4 induced HT-2 cell proliferation. The ED50 of each lot is between 40-800 pg/ml.
