Description
Granulocyte Macrophage Colony Stimulating Factor Rat Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 128 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 14590.65 Dalton. GM-CSF Rat Recombinant is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Synonyms
CSF-2, MGI-1GM, GM-CSF, Pluripoietin-alpha, Molgramostin, Sargramostim.
Introduction
GMCSF is a cytokine that controls the production, differentiation, and function of granulocytes and macrophages. The active form of the protein is found extracellularly as a homodimer. This gene has been localized to a cluster of related genes at chromosome region 5q31, which is known to be associated with interstitial deletions in the 5q- syndrome and acute myelogenous leukemia. Other genes in the cluster include those encoding interleukins 4, 5, and 13. GM-CSF stimulates the growth and differentiation of hematopoietic precursor cells from various lineages, including granulocytes, macrophages, eosinophils and erythrocytes.
Physical Appearance
Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
Formulation
GM-CSF Rat was lyophilized with no additives.
Stability
Lyophilized Granulocyte Macrophage Colony Stimulating Factor although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution GMCSF 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.
Purity
Greater than 96.0% as determined by: (a)Analysis by RP-HPLC. (b)Analysis by SDS-PAGE.
Biological Activity
The ED 50 as calculated by the dose-dependent stimulation of the proliferation of murine FDC-P1 cells is less than 0.01ng/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of > 1×10 8 units/mg.
