25.0 kDa

E. coli

E. coli

Greater than 98% by SDS-PAGE and HPLC

Determined by its ability to inhibit the proliferation of MPC-11 cells. The expected ED50 for this effect is 17.0-25.0 ng/ml.

Less than 0.1 ng/µg of protein (less than 1EU/µg).

Sterile filtered, lyophilized with no additives.

Centrifuge the vial prior to opening. Reconstitute in water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/ml. Note: Due to solubility reasons the protein should be kept at low pH. Do not vortex. For extended storage it is recommended to further dilute in a buffer containing a carrier protein (example 0.1% BSA) and store in working aliquots at -20°C to -80°C.

If lyophilized, can be stored for 1 month at room temperature, 6 months at 4°C, or through the expiration date at -20°C to -80°C. Once reconstituted per the supplied instructions, can be stored for 3 months at -20°C to -80°C, or for 1 week at 2°C to 8°C. Avoid freeze-thaw cycles.

For research use only. Intended for use by laboratory professionals.
