Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody detects trefoil factor 2 (gene Tff2) in mouse and rat samples and is validated for ELISA, IHC and Western blot. The predicted molecular weight is 14.2 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 14 kDa.
Trefoil factor 2 (TFF2, also called spasmolytic polypeptide) is a secreted peptide produced by gastric mucous neck cells and Brunner glands. It helps structure the gastric mucus layer, contributes to mucosal protection and repair, and is studied in gastric metaplasia and inflammation.

Validated Applications
| Western blot | 0.1–0.5 µg/mL |
|---|---|
| IHC (paraffin sections) | 0.5–1 µg/mL |
| ELISA | 0.1–0.5 µg/mL |
Samples with a confirmed band (WB): mouse testis tissue.
Recommended loading (WB): 20–40 µg of total protein per lane.
Conditions in the example images (WB): 5–20% gradient SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions, 50 µg lysate per lane, transfer to nitrocellulose membrane, blocking in 5% non-fat milk, primary antibody at 0.5 µg/mL, HRP-conjugated secondary antibody at 1:10000, ECL detection.
Samples with confirmed staining (IHC): mouse gaster tissue, rat gaster tissue.
Recommended antigen retrieval: heat-mediated, in TE buffer (pH 9.0); citrate buffer (pH 6.0) can be used instead.
Conditions in the example images (IHC): heat-mediated antigen retrieval in citrate buffer (pH 6).
Immunogen
Recombinant mouse TFF2 fragment (Glu24–Tyr129), expressed in E. coli.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with mouse and rat. UniProt describes trefoil factor 2 as a secreted protein. Tissue expression noted by UniProt (mouse): Stomach and pancreas. The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.
