SKU: orb425784

Description

Recombinant of mouse GM CSF protein

Research Area

Immunology & Inflammation

Images & Validation

• Application Notes:
  Protein content: GM-CSF quantitation was carried out by two independent methods1. UV spectroscopy at 280 nm using the absorbency value of 0.765 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 calibrated solution of GM-CSF as a Reference Standard

Key Properties

• Source: Escherichia Coli
• Biological Activity: The ED50 as determined by the dose-dependant stimulation of the proliferation of murine FDC-P1 cell line is < 0.2 ng/ml, corresponding to a Specific Activity of 5,000,000 IU/mg.
• Purity: Greater than 98.0% as determined by(a) Analysis by RP-HPLC.(b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE.
• Protein Sequence: The sequence of the first five N-terminal amino acids was determined and was found to be Met-Ala-Pro-Thr-Arg

Storage & Handling

• Storage: Stability: Lyophilized Granulocyte Macrophage Colony Stimulating Factor although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution GM-CSF should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C.For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles
• Form/Appearance: Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
• Buffer/Preservatives: GM-CSF Mouse was lyophilized with no additives.
• Expiration Date: 6 months from date of receipt.
• Disclaimer: For research use only
