Eflapegrastim
Eflapegrastim is a composite protein consisting of a genetically modified granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (GCSF) molecule linked via a chemical bond to an IgG4 Fc fragment (LAPS-carrier). Eflapegrastim targets to G-CSF receptor (c-Fms). Eflapegrastim stimulates proliferation and differentiation of neutrophil progenitor cells and maintains stable numbers of mature and functional neutrophils. Eflapegrastim also shortens the duration of neutropenia.

In Vitro
Eflapegrastim has an IgG4 Fc fragment and short polyethylene glycol linker[1].
Eflapegrastim (5.5-88 mM; 4 min) binds to FcRn but not Fcγ receptors or C1q[1].
Eflapegrastim (0.000036-0.709 nmol/L; 54 h) induces bone marrow cell proliferation[1].
Eflapegrastim (10 μM; 1 h) binds FcRn and undergoes FcRn-mediated transcytosis[1].

Protocols

Cell Viability Determination by MTT Colorimetric Assay
The following protocol uses the MTT colorimetric assay as a classic literature-established method for assessing cell viability/metabolic activity in cultured mammalian cells. MTT[3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide] is reduced by metabolically active cells to a colored formazan product; the amount of formazan is quantified spectrophotometrically and provides an indirect measure of metabolically active viable cells. Importantly, MTT reduction reflects cellular oxidoreductase/metabolic activity rather than an absolute direct count of living cells, so changes in cellular metabolism can alter the signal independently of cell number.
