Macrophage colony stimulating factor (M-CSF) is produced by many cell types, including fibroblasts, endothelial cells, monocytes and granulocytes. M-CSF was initially identified on the basis of its ability to stimulate the growth of macrophage/granulocyte containing colonies in soft agar cultures. M-CSF stimulates the development of hemopoietic stem cells into macrophages and supports the growth and differentiation of monocytes.

Source:
Recombinant corresponding to 158aa from human Macrophage Colony Stimulating Factor expressed in E. coli.

Molecular Weight:
~18.4kD

Endotoxin: ~0.1ng/ug

Biological Activity:
ED50 1.0ng/ml ( 1x10e6units/mg). The biological activity was determined by measuring the dose dependent stimulation of proliferation of mouse M-NSF-60 cells. The optimal concentration should be determined for each specific application.

Recommended Dilutions: Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.

Storage and Stability:
Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing and freeze at -70°C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months.
