Key Properties

• Source: Chinese Hamster Ovary cell line, CHO
• Expression System: Chinese Hamster Ovary cell line, CHO
• Biological Activity: Measured by its ability to inhibit the IL-4-dependent proliferation of HT-2 mouse T cells. The ED50 for this effect is 0.04-0.2 ng/ml. The specific activity of rHuTGF-β1 is approximately 2.5 x104 U/μg, which is calibrated against human TGF-β1 Standard.
• Molecular Weight: Apparent molecular mass of 24 kDa in SDS-PAGE under non-reducing conditions, 12 kDa under reducing conditions, a disulfide-linked homodimer of two 112 amino acid glycosylated polypeptide chains.
• Protein Sequence: Ala279-Ser390; Accession # P01137
• Purity: > 97 % by SDS-PAGE analyses.
• Endotoxins: Less than 0.1 EU/ug of rHuTGF-β1 as determined by LAL method.
