GRANULOCYTE MACROPHAGE COLONY STIMULATING FACTOR
Granulocyte Macrophage Colony Stimulating Factor (GM-CSF) is a potent species
specific stimulator of bone marrow cells. GM-CSF stimulates precursor cells of
granulocytes, macrophages and eosinophils. Human GM-CSF is a 14 kDa protein
containing 128 amino acid residues.
Catalog#: rHuGM-CSF
Package Size:
1 X 300µg = 385 Euro cat# rHuGM-CSF 0.3mg
Supplied: Lyophilized protein with no additives.
Source: E. Coli
Purity: >98% by SDS-Page analysis. Endotoxin level is less than 0.1ng per ug of
GM-CSF.
Reconstitution: The lyophilized GM-CSF is soluble in water and most aqueous
buffers. The lyophilized powder should be reconstituted in water to a
concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/ml. Allow to set at least 30 minutes at 4 Deg C,
rotate, mix well. If desired, centrifuge for 1-2 minutes at 500- 1000 rpm to
concentrate material in vial.This solution can be diluted into other buffered
solutions or stored at 4 DEG C for up to 1 week or at -20 DEG C for future use.
For most in-vitro applications, human GM-CSF exerts its biological activity in
the concentration range of 0.05 to 0.5 ng/ml.
Note: For material that will not be used for coating or labelling (or other
applications requiring carrier free material), we recommend adding 0.1% protease
free BSA/HSA or media to any dilution buffers. Maintain stock >10ug/ml.
Storage: The lyophilized powder, though stable at room temperature for a few
weeks, is best stored dessicated at -20 DEG C. Reconstituted GM-CSF should be
stored in working aliquots at -20 DEG C. Avoid Frequent Freeze-THAW Cycles.
Reactivity: The Ed50 as determined by the dose dependent stimulation of the
proliferation of human TF-1 cells is <0.1ng/ml, which corresponds to a specific
activity of > 1 X 10 E07 units/mg.
