Recombinant Mouse GM-CSF Protein Summary

• Description: Recombinant biologically active CSF2 protein.

  Source:E. coli

• Preparation Method: GM-CSF quantitation was carried out by two independent methods 1. UV spectroscopy at 280 nm using the absorbency value of 0.765 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 calibrated solution of GM-CSF as a Reference Standard.
• Details of Functionality: Murine GM-CSF is fully biologically active when compared to standard.The ED50 as determined by the dose-dependant stimulation of the proliferation of murine FDC-P1 cell line is less than 0.2 ng/ml, corresponding to a Specific Activity of 5x10^6 IU/mg.
• Source: E. coli
• Protein/Peptide Type: Recombinant Protein
• Gene: CSF2
• Purity: >50% SDS-PAGE

Background

GMCSF is a cytokine that controls the production, differentiation, and function of granulocytes and macrophages. The active form of the protein is found extracellularly as a homodimer. This gene has been localized to a cluster of related genes at chromosome region 5q31, which is known to be associated with interstitial deletions in the 5q- syndrome and acute myelogenous leukemia. Other genes in the cluster include those encoding interleukins 4, 5, and 13. GM-CSF stimulates the growth and differentiation of hematopoietic precursor cells from various lineages, including granulocytes, macrophages, eosinophils and erythrocytes.
