Certificate of Analysis and Data Sheet
Source:
E.Coli
Catalog No.
CYT-331
Background:
This ligand binds to Fms-Like Tyrosine Kinase-3 (FLT-3).Human FLT3 ligand also stimulates the proliferation of cells expressing murine FLT-3 receptors. The effects of FLT-3 ligand are synergized by coexpression of
G-CSF ,
GM-CSF ,
M-CSF ,
IL3 and
SCF .
FLT-3 ligand promotes long-term expansion and differentiation of human pro-B-cells in the presence of IL7 or in combination of
IL7 and
IL3 .
Description :
Recombinant Human Flt3-Ligand produced in E.Coli is non-glycosylated,
polypeptide chain containing 155 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 17605 Dalton.
Recombinant FLT3 Ligand is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Physical Appearance:
Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
Formulation:
FLT-3 was lyophilized with no additives.
Solubility:
It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized FLT-3 in sterile 18MΩ-cm
H2O not less than 100ug/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.
Stability:
Lyophilized FLT3 although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated
below -18 C. Upon reconstitution FLT3 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.
Amino acid sequence:
The sequence of the first five N-terminal amino acids was determined and was found to be Thr-Gln-Asp-Cys-Ser.
Dimers and aggregates:
Less than 1% as determined by silver-stained SDS-PAGE gel analysis.
Biological Activity:
ProSpec旧 rHuFlt3-Ligand is fully biologically active when compared to standard.
The ED50, calculated by the dose-dependant stimulation of the proliferation of human AML5 cells is less then 1.0 ng/ml, corresponding to a specific activity greater then 1 x 10
6 units/mg.
Endotoxin:
Less than 0.1 ng/ug (IEU/ug) of FLT-3.
Protein content:
Protein quantitation was carried out by two independent methods:
1. UV spectroscopy at 280 .
2. Analysis by RP-HPLC, using a standard
solution of FLT3 as a Reference Standard.
Usage:
This material is offered by ProSpec-TechnoGene for research,
laboratory or further evaluation purposes.
