Description |
Fibroblast Growth Factor-acidic Human Recombinant (FGF-1) produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 140 amino acids and having a molecular mass of approximately 15.8kDa.The FGF acidic is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. Amino Acid Sequence:MFNLPPGNYK KPKLLYCSNG GHFLRILPDG TVDGTRDRSD QHIQLQLSAE SVGEVYIKST ETGQYLAMDT DGLLYGSQTP NEECLFLERL EENHYNTYIS KKHAEKNWFV GLKKNGSCKR GPRTHYGQKA ILFLPLPVSS D. Physical Appearance and Stability: Lyophilized Fibroblast Growth Factor-1 although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18C. Upon reconstitution FGF-a should be stored at 4C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18C.Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles. Formulation and Purity: The protein was lyophilized from a concentrated (1mg/ml) sterile solution containing PBS, pH 7.4. Greater than 95.0% as determined by:(a) Analysis by RP-HPLC.(b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE. Solubility: It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Fibroblast Growth Factor-acidic in sterile 18MO-cm H2O at 4 degrees Celsius at a concentration of 0.1mg-0.25mg per 1ml. Allow sample to sit for 5 min. at 4 degrees, spin to remove precipitant. Biological Activity: The ED50, calculated by the dose-dependant proliferation of mouse BALB/c 3T3 cells is < 0.5 ng/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of > 2, 000, 000IU/mg. |
