GDF15, also known as macrophage inhibitory cytokine 1 or growth/differentiation factor 15, is a divergent member of the TGF-beta superfamily that has emerged as a critical biomarker and functional mediator across multiple research domains. This stress-responsive cytokine plays significant roles in cellular metabolism, inflammation, and tissue homeostasis, with elevated circulating levels associated with cardiovascular disease, cancer cachexia, and metabolic dysfunction. Its expression in placental tissue and involvement in pregnancy-related physiology has also made it a focus of reproductive biology research.
This recombinant monoclonal antibody, clone 8E5, offers researchers the reproducibility advantages inherent to recombinant technology. Because the antibody sequence is defined and produced in controlled expression systems, you can expect consistent performance across experiments and between lot numbers, eliminating the variability concerns that can complicate long-term studies or multi-site collaborations. The rabbit host origin provides high-affinity binding characteristics, while affinity chromatography purification ensures a clean preparation suitable for sensitive detection methods.
Validation testing confirms reliable performance in immunohistochemistry applications using human samples. Staining of paraffin-embedded human placenta tissue at 1:100 dilution demonstrates clear target detection following citrate buffer antigen retrieval, with visualization achieved through HRP-polymer secondary detection and DAB chromogen development. The recommended working range of 1:50 to 1:200 provides flexibility for optimization across different tissue types and fixation conditions. Additional validation for ELISA applications extends the utility of this antibody for quantitative studies.
This antibody serves researchers investigating cardiovascular biology, cellular stress responses, and signal transduction pathways where GDF15 function is implicated.
