ProSpec-M CSF Human, HEK

Macrophage Colony Stimulating Factor, CSF-1, Lanimostim, MCSF, MGC31930, M-CSF.

Granulocyte/Macrophage Colony-Stimulating Factors are cytokines that act in hematopoiesis by controlling the production, differentiation, and function of 2 related white cell populations of the blood, the granulocytes and the monocytes-macrophages. MCSF induces cells of the monocyte/macrophage lineage. MCSF plays a role in immunological defenses, bone metabolism, lipoproteins clearance, fertility and pregnancy.

M-CSF Human Recombinant produced in HEK cells is a glycosylated homodimer, having a molecular weight range of 35-40kDa due to glycosylation.
The M-CSF is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

HEK.

Sterile Filtered White lyophilized powder.

The M-CSF was lyophilized from a 0.2µm filtered solution containing 0.67mg/ml in 1xPBS.

It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized M-CSF in sterile 1xPBS containing 0.1% endotoxin-free recombinant HSA.

Lyophilized M-CSF although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution M-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 .
Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.

Greater than 95% as obsereved by -PAGE.

The specific activity was determined by the dose-dependent stimulation of the proliferation of murine M-NFS-60 cells and is 1.13ng/ml.
