Notes

Lot Specific Information:
Given endotoxin and ED50 values are acceptance criteria standards. For lot specific values, please contact technical support.

Detailed Reconstitution:
Centrifuge vial before opening. Suspend the product by gently pipetting the recommended solution down the sides of the vial. DO NOT VORTEX. Allow several minutes for complete reconstitution. For prolonged storage, dilute to working aliquots in a 0.1% BSA solution, store at -80C and avoid repeat freeze thaws.

Expiration Date:
12 months from date of receipt when stored at -20C to-80C as supplied. 1 month when stored at 4C after reconstituting as directed. 3 months when stored at -20C to -80C after reconstituting as directed.

Background

Growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF15) is a transforming growth factor beta superfamily member that acts to regulate inflammatory and apoptotic responses in injured or diseased tissues. GDF15 is most strongly expressed in the liver, placenta and kidney.

GDF15 antibodies are useful for studies on inflamation and immune system research.
