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.
