AB Vector - Recombinant Human Granulocyte-Macrophage Colony-Stimulating Factor (GM-CSF)

  Recombinant Human Granulocyte-Macrophage Colony-Stimulating Factor (GM-CSF)
 
  Alternative names: Colony stimulating factor 2 (CSF-2), Macrophage-Granulocyte Inducer-1GM (MGI-1GM), pluripoietin-alpha, Sargramostim, Molgramostin.
  Catalog No: #GFA2, #GFA10, #GFA100, #GFA1m
  Background: GM-CSF is a growth factor that stimulates generation of granulocytes, macrophages, and dendritic cells from hematopoietic progenitor cells (more).
  Source: Proprietary GM-CSF superproducing E.coli strain (more).
  Formulation: Lyophilized purified fraction (>97% pure by SDS-PAGE) without additives.
  Sterility: Sterile-filtered through 0.22 micron filter prior to lyophilization.
  Reconstitution: Restore in water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/ml. This solution can be stored at 2-8oC for 1 week or aliquoted and kept frozen at -20oC for future use. Further dilutions should be made into a medium containing serum or into PBS supplemented with 0.1% BSA, which can be stored at -20oC. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
  Description: Recombinant human GM-CSF is a globular protein consisting of 128 amino acids containing two intramolecular disulfide bonds.

  Molecular weight: 14 kDa.
  Biological activity: The ED50 as determined by the dose-dependent stimulation of the proliferation of human TF-1 cells is < 0.1 ng/ml.
  Endotoxin level: < 0.01 ng/μg (0.1 IEU/μg) of GM-CSF.
