| Description |
Recombinant Human SCF produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 164 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 18409 Dalton.
The SCF is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
|
| Source |
Escherichia Coli. |
| Physical Appearance: |
Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder. |
| Formulation: |
Lyophilized from a concentrated (1mg/ml) solution in water containing 10mM Acetic acid.
|
| Solubility: |
It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized rHuSCFin sterile 18MΩ-cm H2O not less than 100µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.
|
|
Stability: |
Lyophilized rHuSCF although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18 °C. Upon reconstitution rHuSCF 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 98.0% as determined by:
(a) Analysis by RP-HPLC.
(b) Anion-exchange FPLC.
(c) Analysis by reducing and non-reducing SDS-PAGE Silver Stained gel.
|
|
Amino acid sequence: |
The sequence of the first five N-terminal amino acids was determined and was found to be Met-Glu-Gly-Ile-Cys.
|
|
Dimers and aggregates: |
Less than 1% as determined by silver-stained SDS-PAGE gel analysis.
|
|
Biological Activity: |
ProSpec's rHuSCF is fully biologically active when compared to standard.
The ED50 as determined by the dose-dependant stimulation of Human TF-1 cells
isless then2 ng/ml, corresponding to a Specific Activity of 5x10 IU/mg.
|
|
Endotoxin: |
Less than 0.1 ng/µg (IEU/µg) of rHuSCF.
|
|
Protein content: |
Protein quantitation was carried out by two independent methods:
UV spectroscopy at 280 nm using the absorbency value of 0.52 as the extinction
coefficient for a 0.1% (1mg/ml) solution. This value is calculated by the PC GENE
computer analysis program of protein sequences (IntelliGenetics).
Analysis by RP-HPLC, using a standard solution of SCF as a Reference Standard. |
|
Usage: |
This material is for research, laboratory or further manufacturing purposes.
