Source:
Recombinant corresponding to 175aa of human Granulocyte-Colony Stimulating Factor expressed in E.coli is a single,non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain.

Molecular Weight:
~18.8kD

Biological Activity:
The ED50, calculated by the dose-dependent proliferation of mouse NFS-60 indicator cells (measured by 3H-thymidine uptake) is less then 0.1ng/ml, corresponding to a Specific Activity of 1x108 IU/mg.

Dimmers and Aggregates:
1% (SDS-PAGE)

Protein Content:
Protein quantitation was carried out by two independent methods: 1.UV spectroscopy at 280nm using the absorbency value of 0.815 as the extinctioncoefficient for a 0.1% (1mg/ml) solution. This value is calculated by the PC GENEcomputer analysis program of protein sequences (IntelliGenetics). 2. Analysis by RP-HPLC, using a standard solution of Recombinant corresponding to G-CSF as a Reference Standard.

Storage and Stability:
Lyophilized powder may be stored at -20°C. Stable for 12 months at -20°C. Reconstitute with sterile ddH2O, HSA or BSA. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20°C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.

Molecular Weight:
~18.8kD
 Purity: ~98% (RP-HPLC, Anion-exchange FPLC, SDS-PAGE) Endotoxin: 0.1ng/ug (IEU/ug)
Concentration: Not determined
Form: Supplied as a lyophilized powder. No preservative added. Reconstitute with sterile dH2O, 0.1% HSA or BSA to 0.1mg/ml.
