Validation Data Gallery

  • Purity of recombinant human FGF-8b was determined by SDS- polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The protein was resolved in an SDS- polyacrylamide gel in reducing and non-reducing conditions and stained using Coomassie blue

  • Recombinant human FGF-8b (HZ-1218) stimulates dose-dependent proliferation of the NIH/3T3 mouse fibroblast cell line. Viable cell number was quantitatively assessed by Prestoblue Cell Viability Reagent. NIH/3T3 cells were serum starved in 0.02% FBS with 1 ug/mL heparin during treatment with increasing concentrations of recombinant human FGF-8b for 72hrs. The EC50 was determined using a 4- parameter non-linear regression model. The EC50 values range from 10-60 ng/mL.

  • Human induced pluripotent cells(iPSCs) were differentiated to dopaminergic neurons using HumanKine growth factors (GDNF-HZ-1311 and FGF8B- HZ-1103). The differentiation was confirmed by detection of expression of TAU(green), Alpha-Synuclein(red) and Thyrosine hydoxylase(TH)(yellow) in immunofluorescence.(Credits- Credits- Alessandro Bellapianta Johannes Kepler Universitat)

Background

Fibroblast growth factor 8 (FGF8), also known as AIGF and HBGF-8, belongs to the FGF family. FGF family members possess broad mitogenic and cell survival activities, and are involved in a variety of biological processes, including embryonic development, cell growth, morphogenesis, tissue repair, tumor growth and invasion (PMID: 11276432; 15863033). FGF8 stimulates growth in an autocrine manner in normal individuals but mediates hormonal action during tumorigenesis (PMID 17512240). Defects in FGF8 cause Kallmann syndrome type 6 (KAL6) and idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (IHH) (PMID 18596921).
