Recombinant Human Thrombopoietin/TPO GMP Protein, CF

The bioactivity of Recombinant Human Thrombopoietin/TPO GMP Protein (Catalog # BT-TPO-GMP) was measured in a cell proliferation assay using MO7e human megakaryocytic leukemic cells. The ED50 for this effect is 0.0500‑0.500 ng/mL. Three independent lots were tested for bioactivity and plotted on the same graph to show lot-to-lot consistency of GMP Thrombopoietin/Tpo protein.

Equivalent bioactivity of GMP (Catalog # BT-TPO-GMP) and Animal-Free (BT-TPO-AFL) grades of Recombinant Human Thrombopoietin/TPO as measured in a cell proliferation assay using MO7e human megakaryocytic leukemic cells (orange and green, respectively).

2 μg/lane of Recombinant Human Thrombopoietin/TPO GMP Protein (Catalog # BT-TPO-GMP) was resolved with SDS-PAGE under reducing (R) and non-reducing (NR) conditions and visualized by Coomassie® Blue staining, showing bands at 18-19 kDa under reducing conditions.

Purified CD34+ cells derived from plerixafor mobilized peripheral blood were cultured in commercially available media. The media was supplemented with SCF (100 ng/mL, Catalog # BT-SCF-GMP), TPO (100 ng/mL, Catalog # BT-TPO-GMP), FLT-3L (100 ng/mL, Catalog # BT-FT3L-GMP), and SR1 (1 µM, Catalog # 7086). After 7 days, fold expansion was calculated from total viable cell counts. Frequency (%) CD34+ cells was analyzed by flow cytometry on Days 0 and 7. The average fold expansion of n=2 technical replicates is shown.​

Background

Thrombopoietin (TPO) is a crucial regulator of hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) differentiation, maturation, and proliferation, as well as megakaryocytopoiesis and thrombopoiesis. TPO is often used in conjunction with Stem Cell Factor (SCF) and Flt-3 ligand in cell culture protocols to expand HSCs for bone marrow transplantation and cellular therapies. When combined with SCF and Flt-3 ligand, it promotes the differentiation of HSCs into megakaryocytes, leading to the production of platelets. It has shown promise in emerging cellular therapies for treating sickle cell disease, beta thalassemia, and other blood-related disorders. Moreover, TPO in combination with other cytokines is utilized in the generation of iNK cells, which have the potential to be incorporated into cellular immunotherapies.
