Description

Monocyte colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF, CSF-1) is a macrophage lineage-specific growth factor. Full length human M-CSF transcripts encode a 522 amino acid (aa) type I transmembrane (TM) protein with a 464 aa extracellular region, a 21 aa TM domain, and a 37 aa cytoplasmic tail that forms a 140 kDa covalent dimer. The first 223 aa of mature human M-CSF shares 88%, 86%, 81% and 74% aa identity with corresponding regions of dog, cow, mouse and rat M_x005fCSF, respectively. M-CSF Induces vascular endothelial growth factor production and angiogenic activity from human monocytes. Whatmore, M-CSF and GM-CSF are mediators involved in regulating the numbers and function of macrophage lineage populations and have been shown to contribute to macrophage heterogeneity.

Appearance

Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.

Purity

> 95% by SDS-PAGE and HPLC analyses.

Biological Activity

The ED50 as determined by a cell proliferation assay using murine M-NFS-60 cells is less than 2 ng/mL, corresponding to a specific activity of > 5.0 × 105 IU/mg. Fully biologically active when compared to standard.

Endotoxin

< 1.0 EU per 1μg of the protein by the LAL method.

Formulation

Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered concentrated solution in 20 mM Tris, 500 mM NaCl, pH 7.4.

Reconstitution

We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Reconstitute in sterile distilled water or aqueous buffer containing 0.1% BSA to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL. Stock solutions should be apportioned into working aliquots and stored at ≤ -20℃. Further dilutions should be made in appropriate buffered solutions.

Note
