Specifications

• Formulation: Lyophilized from a 0.2μm filtered solution in PBS, NaCl, EDTA, DTT and CHAPS with BSA as a carrier protein.
• Molecular Weight (g/mol): 22.8 kDa
• Purity: 97%, by SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions and visualized by silver stain.
• Source: E. coli-derived human CNTF protein Ala2-Met200
• Structural Form: This recombinant protein is prone to proteolytic degradation at the C-terminus, resulting in proteins with molecular masses of 22.2 - 22.8 kDa.
• Conjugate: Unconjugated
• Activity: Measured in a cell proliferation assay using TF-1 human erythroleukemic cells. Kitamura, T. et al. (1989) J. Cell Physiol. 140:323. The ED50 for this effect is 0.03-0.18 μg/mL. The proliferative effect can be enhanced up to 100-fold by the addition of Recombinant Human CNTF R alpha (Catalog # 303-CR ) .
