Recombinant Human Macrophage Colony Stimulating Factor (rHuM-CSF) - PR1083

Recombinant Human Macrophage Colony Stimulating Factor (rHuM-CSF) Catalogue Numbers: PR1083-2, PR1083-10 Sizes: 2µg, 10µg Source: Baculovirus infected Silkworm Molecular Weight: Approximately 42.0 kDa, a covalently linked homodimer, of two 21.0 kDa polypeptide monomers (1-149 amino acid of human M-CSF). Purity: >95% by SDS-PAGE and HPLC analyses. Biological Activity: Fully biologically active when compared to standard. The ED50 as determined by the dose-dependant stimulation of the proliferation of murine M-NSF-60 cells is less than 3.0 ng/ml, corresponding to a Specific Activity of ＞3.3 x 105 IU/mg. Physical Appearance: Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder. Formulation: Lyophilized from a 0.2mm filtered solution in 20mM PB, containing 1% HSA and 3% Mannitol. AA Sequence: EEVSEYCSHM IGSGHLQSLQ RLIDSQMETS CQITFEFVDQ EQLKDPVCYL KKAFLLVQDI MEDTMRFRDN TPNAIAIVQL QELSLRLKSC FTKDYEEHDKACVRTFYETP LQLLEKVKNV FNETKNLLDK DWNIFSKNCN NSFAECSSQ Endotoxin: Less than 1EU/mg of rHuM-CSF as determined by LAL method. Reconstitution: We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Reconstitute in sterile distilled water to a concentration of 0.1 mg/mL. Stock solutions should be apportioned into working aliquots and stored at <-20°C. Further dilutions should be made in appropriate buffered solutions. Storage: This lyophilized preparation is stable at 2-8°C, but should be kept at -20°C for long term storage, preferably desiccated. Upon reconstitution, the preparation is stable for up to one week at 2-8°C. For maximal stability, apportion the reconstituted preparation into working aliquots and store at -20°C to -70°C. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles. Usage: This material is offered by USA Bioworld biotech for research, laboratory or further evaluation purposes. NOT FOR HUMAN USE. Made in China Description: M-CSF, also known as CSF-1, is a four α helical bundle cytokine that is the primary regulator of macrophage survival, proliferation and differentiation. M-CSF is also essential for the survival and proliferation of osteoclast progenitors. M-CSF also primes and enhances macrophage killing of tumor cells and microorganisms, regulates the release of cytokines and other inflammatory modulators from macrophages, and stimulates pinocytosis.
