Summary

Recombinant Human CNTF is a 199 amino acid, Escherichia coli-derived recombinant protein corresponding to mature human ciliary neutotrophic factor (CTNF), a survival factor for various neuronal cell types believed to prevent the degeneration of motor axons after axotomy.

Product Details

Target Species: Human
Product Form: Purified recombinant protein - lyophilized
Reconstitution: Reconstitute with 0.2 ml distilled water. Care should be taken during reconstitution as the protein may appear as a film at the bottom of the vial. Bio-Rad recommend that the vial is gently mixed after reconstitution. For extended storage, the addition of 0.1% bovine serum albumin (BSA) is recommended.
Preparation: Purified recombinant CTNF expressed in E. Coli
Buffer Solution: 10mM Citric Acid + 75mM NaCl
Preservative Stabilisers: None present
Activity: The ED₅₀ as determined by the dose-dependent proliferation of human TF-1 cells is 50-150ng/ml.
Purity: >98% by SDS PAGE/HPLC
Approx. Protein Concentrations: 0.1 mg/ml after reconstitution
Protein Molecular Weight: 22.7 kDa
Endotoxin Level: <1EU/ug

Storage Information

Storage: Prior to reconstitution store at +4^oC.
After reconstitution store at -20^oC.
Storage in frost-free freezers is not recommended. This product should be stored undiluted. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing as this may denature the antibody. Should this product contain a precipitate we recommend microcentrifugation before use.
Guarantee: 3 months from date of reconstitution
