Used in biomedical research to quantify human fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF-2) levels in cell culture supernatants, serum, plasma, and tissue extracts. Enables researchers to study FGF-2 involvement in cell proliferation, wound healing, angiogenesis, and tissue regeneration. Commonly applied in cancer research to assess tumor growth and progression, as FGF-2 plays a role in tumor angiogenesis and metastasis. Also utilized in regenerative medicine studies to monitor growth factor expression during stem cell differentiation and tissue engineering. The ELISA format allows for high sensitivity and specificity, making it ideal for detecting low concentrations of FGF-2 in small sample volumes. Supports drug development by evaluating the impact of therapeutic compounds on FGF-2 production and signaling pathways.
