Source

Escherichia Coli.

Purity

Greater than 99.0% as determined by:(a) Analysis by Gel Filtration.(b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE.

Formulation

Lyophilized from a concentrated (1mg/ml) solution in water containing 0.025% NaHCO3.

Stability

Lyophilized CNTF although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution CNTF should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C.Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.

Size

20µg

Solubility

It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized CNTF in sterile water or 0.4% NaHCO3 adjusted to pH 8-9, not less than 100µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions, preferably in presence of carrier protein.

Physical appearance

Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.

Protein content

CNTF quantitation was carried out by two independent methods1. UV spectroscopy at 280 nm using the absorbency value of 1.22 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 solution of CNTF Recombinant as a Reference Standard.

Biological activity

Fully biologically active by its ability to phosphorylate STAT3 in several cells lines.

Endotoxin

Endotoxin tested

Usage
