Certificate of Analysis and Data Sheet
Source:
Baculovirus Sf9 cells
Catalog No.
CYT-409
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 Sf9 insect cells is a glycosylated,
polypeptide chain containing 155 amino acids and having migrating on SDS-PAGE at 19kDa.
Recombinant Human Flt3-Ligand is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Physical Appearance:
Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
Formulation:
The protein was lyophilized with no additives.
Solubility:
It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized rHuFlt3-Ligand in sterile 18MΩ-cm H
2O not less than 100ug/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.
Stability:
Lyophilized rHuFlt3-Ligand although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18
0C. Upon reconstitution rHuFlt3-Ligand should be stored at 4
0C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18
0C.
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 95.0% 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 Recombinant Flt3-Ligand is fully biologically active when compared to standard.
The ED50, calculated by the dose-dependant stimulation of the proliferation of human MUTZ-2cells is < 3.0 ng/ml.
Endotoxin:
Less than 0.1 ng/ug (IEU/ug) of Recombinant Human Flt3-Ligand.
Protein content:
Protein quantitation was carried out by two independent methods:
1. UV spectroscopy at 280 nm using the absorbency value of 1.42 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).
2. Analysis by RP-HPLC, using a standard of Recombinant Flt3-Ligand as a Reference Standard.
Usage:
This material is offered by ProSpec-TechnoGene for research,
laboratory or further evaluation purposes.
