Description
Recombinant of human CNTF protein
Product Name Alternative
HCNTF, CNTF, Ciliary Neurotrophic Factor.
Source
Escherichia Coli
Purity
Greater than 98.0% as determined by (a) Analysis by RP-HPLC. (b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE.
Bioactivity
The ED50 as determined by the dose-dependant stimulation of TF-1 cells is < 2 ng/ml, corresponding to a Specific Activity of 500,000IU/mg.
Form
Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
Solubility
It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized HCNTF in sterile 18MΩ-cm H2O not less than 100μg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.
Storage Conditions
Stability: Lyophilized Ciliary Neurotrophic Factor 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
Notes
For research use only.
Applications Notes
Protein content: CNTF quantitation was carried out by two independent methods1. UV spectroscopy at 280 nm using the absorbency value of 1.28 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
Preservative
Lyophilized from a concentrated (1mg/ml) solution in water containing 5mM sodium Phosphate buffer pH=7.5 and 5mM sodium chloride.
AA Sequence
The sequence of the first five N-terminal amino acids was determined and was found to be Met-Ala-Phe-Thr-Glu
