Granulocyte-Macrophage Colony-Stimulating Factor human

General description
GM-CSF (granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor, also referred to as CSF2) is produced in by endothelial cells, monocytes, fibroblasts and T-lymphocytes. Recombinant human GM-CSF is a 14.6kDa globular protein consisting of 128 amino acids containing two intramolecular disulfide bonds and two potential N-linked glycosylation sites. The human and murine molecules are species-specific and exhibit no cross-species reactivity.
Application
Granulocyte-Macrophage Colony-Stimulating Factor human has been used in the medium for plating of the cells.[1] It has been used in culture medium for the differentiation of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells.[2] Biochem/physiol Actions
GM-CSF (granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor, also referred to as CSF2) is a hematopoietic growth factor that stimulates the development of neutrophils and macrophages and promotes the proliferation and development of early erythroid megakaryocytic and eosinophilic progenitor cells.[3][4] It enhances neutrophil migration and enhances the functional activity of the mature end-cells.[5] Physical form
Lyophilized from 10 mM Sodium Citrate, pH 3.5.
Preparation Note
Centrifuge the vial prior to opening. Reconstitute in water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/ml. Do not vortex. This solution can be stored at 2-8°C for up to 1 week. For extended storage, it is recommended to further dilute in a buffer containing a stabilizer (example 5% Trehalose) and store in working aliquots at -20°C to -80°C.
