CSF-1 antibody recognizes Colony stimulating factor 1, a secreted homodimeric cytokine widely known as Macrophage colony stimulating factor. CSF-1 antibody, also referred to as Colony stimulating factor 1 antibody and M-CSF antibody, detects a central growth factor that regulates macrophage survival, differentiation, and polarization. Unlike gene-centric analyses, this antibody is particularly valuable for functional studies of cytokine signaling and immune cell biology.
CSF-1 exerts its biological effects through binding to CSF1R, a receptor tyrosine kinase expressed on monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cell subsets, and osteoclast precursors. Ligand binding induces receptor dimerization and activation of intracellular signaling cascades including PI3K-AKT, MAPK, and JAK-STAT pathways. These pathways control macrophage proliferation, metabolic adaptation, cytoskeletal remodeling, and survival. As a result, CSF-1 is a dominant driver of tissue macrophage expansion.
In bone physiology, CSF-1 is essential for osteoclast differentiation and skeletal homeostasis. In peripheral tissues, it supports macrophage turnover and immune surveillance. Elevated CSF-1 protein levels are observed in inflamed tissues and in many solid tumors, where it promotes recruitment of tumor associated macrophages that can enhance angiogenesis and suppress adaptive immune responses.
Therapeutic strategies targeting the CSF-1 CSF1R axis are under investigation in oncology and chronic inflammatory disease models. Measurement of CSF-1 protein expression is therefore highly relevant in translational immunology, macrophage polarization research, and tumor microenvironment studies.
A CSF-1 antibody is suitable for research applications focused on cytokine signaling, macrophage activation states, osteoclast biology, and immune regulatory pathways.
Optimal dilution of the Csf-1 antibody should be determined by the researcher.
Amino acids 33-262 of mouse Colony stimulating factor 1 were used as the immunogen for the Csf-1 antibody.
After reconstitution, the Csf-1 antibody can be stored for up to one month at 4oC. For long-term, aliquot and store at -20oC. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
