GM-CSF, Human

Granulocyte Macrophage-Colony Stimulating Factor (GM-CSF), was initially characterized as a growth factor that can support the, in vitro, colony formation of granulocyte-macrophage progenitors. Granulocyte Macrophage-Colony Stimulating Factor (GM-CSF) is produced by a number of different cell types, including activated T cells, B cells, macrophages, mast cells, endothelial cells, and fibroblasts, in response to cytokine of immune and inflammatory stimuli. Besides granulocyte-macrophage progenitors, Granulocyte Macrophage-Colony Stimulating Factor (GM-CSF) is a growth factor for erythroid, megakaryocyte, and eosinophil progenitors. On mature hematopoietic, monocytes/macrophages and eosinophils. Human Granulocyte Macrophage-Colony Stimulating Factor (GM-CSF), can induce human endothelial cells to migrate and proliferate. Additionally, Granulocyte Macrophage-Colony Stimulating Factor (GM-CSF) can stimulate the proliferation of a number of tumor cell lines, including osteogenic sarcoma, carcinoma, and adenocarcinoma cell lines.

The protein was lyophilized after extensive dialysis against 20mM Phosphate buffer, pH7.0, 150mM NaCl, 5% Mannitol buffer.

Cytokine, Chemokines & Growth Factors

Lyophilized, Recombinant Human Granulocyte Macrophage-Colony Stimulating Factor (GM-CSF) , although stable at room temperature for three weeks, should be stored desiccated at -18C or below. Upon reconstitution, Recombinant Human Granulocyte Macrophage-Colony Stimulating Factor (GM-CSF) may be stored at 4C for short periods (two to seven days). For long term storage, it is recommended that a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA) be added. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
