Recombinant Human SCF produced in insect cells is a single, glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 165aa and having a molecular mass of 118.41kD containing a C-terminal His-tag (6x His).

Biological Activity:
The ED50 as determined by the dose-dependent stimulation of Human TF-1 cells is typically 2-5ng/ml.

Protein Content:
Protein quantitation was carried out by two independent methods:
1. UV spectroscopy at 280 nm using the absorbency value of 0.52 as the extinction coefficient for a 0.1% (1mg/ml) solution. This value is calculated by the PC GENE computer analysis program of protein sequences (IntelliGenetics).
2. Analysis by RP-HPLC, using a standard solution of SCF 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 ,0.1% HSA or BSA. Aliquot and store at -20°C. Stable for 6 months. 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:
18.41kD
 Source: Sf9 insect cells
Purity: 95% as determined by RP-HPLC, anion-exchange FPLC and/or reducing and non-reducing SDS-PAGE Silver Stained gel. Endotoxin: 0.1ng/ug (IEU/ug).
Form: Supplied as a lyophilized powder from PBS, pH 7.4. Reconstitute with sterile ddH2O ,0.1% HSA or BSA to 0.1mg/ml, which can then be further diluted with in other aqueous solutions.
