Fibroblast growth factor 20 (FGF20) is a member of the fibroblast growth factor family. The fibroblast growth factors 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. It is identified that Fibroblast Growth Factor 20 (FGF20)-FGF receptor 1 (FGFR1) signaling is essential for cochlear hair cell (HC) and supporting cell (SC) differentiation. Thus a functional binding ELISA assay was conducted to detect the interaction of recombinant human FGF20 and recombinant human FGFR1. Briefly, FGF20 was diluted serially in PBS with 0.01% BSA (pH 7.4). Duplicate samples of 100 μl were then transferred to FGFR1-coated microtiter wells and incubated for 1h at 37°C. Wells were washed with PBST and incubated for 1h with anti-FGF20 pAb, then aspirated and washed 3 times. After incubation with HRP labelled secondary antibody for 1h at 37°C, wells were aspirated and washed 5 times. With the addition of substrate solution, wells were incubated 15-25 minutes at 37°C. Finally, add 50 µL stop solution to the wells and read at 450/630nm immediately. The binding activity of recombinant human FGF20 and recombinant human FGFR1 was shown, the EC50 for this effect is 0.17 ug/mL. |
