Granulocyte Macrophage-Colony Stimulating Factor (GM-CSF)

Mouse monoclonal antibody to human granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF)

Purified recombinant human GM-CSF

Protein G affinity purified

Does not show any cross reaction with other human cytokines or growth factors tested such as M-CSF, G-CSFR, IL-8, IL-16, IL-1beta, TGF-beta1 and TNF-alpha.

GM-CSF is an extracellular homodimer polyprotein, functioning as a hematopoietic growth factor and immune modulator. It can be produced and act upon a variety of cell types, including T-lymphocytes, B-lymphocytes, monocytes/macrophages, endothelial cells, fibroblasts, stromal cells, mesothelial cells, keratinocytes, osteoblasts, uterine epithelial cells, synoviocytes, mast cells and various solid tumors. GM-CSF stimulates stem cells to produce granulocytes and monocytes to cope with infection. Recombinant GM-CSF has been applied to boost white blood cell in cancer patients after chemotherapy and may also be useful as an immune tonic for anemia and AIDS patients.

Double distillated water is recommended to reconstitute the antibody.
