Certificate of Analysis and Data Sheet
Source:
Bovine lung
Catalog No.
PRO-285
Background:
Aprotinin inhibits the activity of several proteolytic enzymes such as chymotrypsin,
kallikrein, plasmin and trypsin.
It is present in blood and in most tissues, with a high concentration in lung,
inhibits pro-inflammatory cytokine release and maintains glycoprotein homeostasis.
In platelets, aprotinin reduces glycoprotein loss (e.g., GpIb, GpIIb/IIIa),
while in granulocytes it prevents the expression of pro-inflammatory adhesive glycoproteins
Description :
Aprotinin is a natural proteinase inhibitor polypeptide consisting of fifty-eight amino acids arranged in a single polypeptide chain,
cross-linked by three disulfide bridges and having a molecular mass of 6512 Daltons.
Aprotinin is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Physical Appearance:
Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
Formulation:
Aprotinin (1mg/ml) was lyophilized with no additives.
Solubility:
It is recommended to reconstitute the Aprotinin in sterile 18MO-cm
H2O not less than 100ug/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.
Stability:
Lyophilized Aprotinin although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated
below -18 C. Upon reconstitution Aprotinin 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 avoid 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.
Biological activity:
Prospec's Aprotinin activity was found to be 6x10
6 IU/mg.
Endotoxin:
Less than 0.1 ng/ug (IEU/ug) of Aprotinin.
Usage:
Prospec's products are furnished for LABORATORY RESEARCH USE ONLY. The product may not be used as drugs, agricultural or pesticidal products, food additives or household chemicals.
