Data Examples
| Immunohistochemistry | CTGF/CCN2 in Human Kidney. CTGF/CCN2 was detected in immersion fixed paraffin-embedded sections of human kidney array using Goat Anti-Human CTGF/CCN2 C‑Terminus Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF660) at 15 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C. Tissue was stained using the Anti-Goat HRP-DAB Cell & Tissue Staining Kit (brown; Catalog # ) and counterstained with hematoxylin (blue). Lower panel shows a lack of labeling if primary antibodies are omitted and tissue is stained only with secondary antibody followed by incubation with detection reagents. View our protocol for . |
| Immunohistochemistry | CTGF/CCN2 in Human Pancreas. CTGF/CCN2 was detected in immersion fixed paraffin-embedded sections of human pancreas array using Goat Anti-Human CTGF/CCN2 C-Terminus Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF660) at 15 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C. Tissue was stained using the Anti-Goat HRP-DAB Cell & Tissue Staining Kit (brown; Catalog # ) and counterstained with hematoxylin (blue).

Background: CTGF/CCN2
CTGF belongs to the CCN (CYR61/CTGF/NOV) family of secreted proteins that share a common multimodular organization. Each protein contains an IGF-binding protein domain, a von Willebrand factor type C domain, a thrombospondin type I domain, and a cysteine knot domain. The multimodular CTGF has the ability to bind multiple ligands and has numerous effects on development, differentation, and disease. The C-terminal cysteine knot motif contains the heparin and low density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) binding sites that contributes to the adhesive and mitogenic properties of CTGF.
