Biological Activity

Description

SCF Protein, Human (P.pastoris), the c-kit ligand, is a two disulfide bridge-containing cytokine in the regulation of the development and function of hematopoietic cell lineages and other cells such as mast cells, germ cells, and melanocytes.

Background

The recombinant human stem cell factor (rhSCF) protein specifically enhances the viability of human myeloid leukemia cell line TF-1 and the proliferation and maturation of human mast cell line LAD2 cell. Recombinant human SCF (rhSCF) can maintain hematopoietic stem cells and mast cell in culture, and it is widely tested in research into differentiation from embryonic stem cell (ESC)/induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)[1].

Verified Bioactivity

The ED50 is <2 ng/mL as measured by human TF-1 cells, corresponding to a specific activity of 5 × 105 units/mg.

Product Properties

Appearance

Lyophilized powder.

Formulation

Lyophilized from a 0.22 μm filtered solution of 10 mM acetic acid.

Endotoxin Level

<1 EU/μg, determined by LAL method.

Reconstitution

It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100 μg/mL in ddH2O. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% BSA, 5% HSA, 10% FBS or 5% Trehalose).

Storage & Stability

Stored at -20°C for 2 years from date of receipt. After reconstitution, it is stable at 4°C for 1 week or -20°C for longer (with carrier protein). It is recommended to freeze aliquots at -20°C or -80°C for extended storage.

Shipping

Room temperature in continental US; may vary elsewhere.
