		Technical Data
G8950-15X	Granulocyte Colony Stimulating Factor, Recombinant, Human (G-CSF)	50ug

Growth Factors, Cytokines

Storage: -20°CShipping: Blue Ice

Human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor(hG-CSF) is one of the hematopoietic growth factors which plays an important role in stimulating proliferation, differentiation, and functional activation of blood cells. In addition to its effect on hematopoiesis, G-CSF also enhances neutrophil functions against bacteria, fungi, and tumor cells mediated by antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity. Recombinant hG-CSF was expressed in E. coli and purified by FPLC gel-filtration chromatography, after refolding of the isolated inclusion bodies in a renaturation buffer.
