M-CSF Protein, Rat

Cat. No.: HY-P7386
COA Handling Instructions

M-CSF Protein, Rat is a pro-inflammatory cytokine, binds to its receptor CSF1R, and is involved in the development and proliferation of cells of the monocyte/macrophage lineage and participates in the induction of osteoclasts which are important in the destruction of bone and cartilage and in the periarticular osteoporotic changes.

Description

M-CSF Protein, Rat is a pro-inflammatory cytokine, binds to its receptor CSF1R, and is involved in the development and proliferation of cells of the monocyte/macrophage lineage and participates in the induction of osteoclasts which are important in the destruction of bone and cartilage and in the periarticular osteoporotic changes.

Background

Macrophage Colony Stimulating Factor (M-CSF) is a pro-inflammatory cytokine, constitutively produced by several cell types, such as fibroblasts, endothelial cells, stromal cells, macrophages, smooth muscle cells and osteoblasts, binds to its receptor CSF1R, and exists in several isoforms- as a secreted glycoprotein, a cell-surface protein and a proteoglycan[1]. M-CSF is involved in the development and proliferation of cells of the monocyte/macrophage lineage and participates in the induction of osteoclasts, which are important in the destruction of bone and cartilage and in the periarticular osteoporotic changes seen in patients with rheumatoid arthritis[2].

Biological Activity

The ED50 is <5 ng/mL as measured by murine M-NFS-60 cells, corresponding to a specific activity of >2 × 105 units/mg.

Molecular Weight

Approximately 28 kDa

Purity

Greater than 95% as determined by reducing SDS-PAGE.

Appearance

Lyophilized powder.

Formulation

Lyophilized after extensive dialysis against 50 mM Tris, 150 mM NaCl, pH 8.0.

Endotoxin Level

<0.2 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. 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.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.

  • Reconstitution Calculator

  • Specific Activity Calculator

The reconstitution calculator equation

Volume (to add to vial) = Mass (in vial) ÷ Desired Reconstitution Concentration

Volume (to add to vial) = Mass (in vial) ÷ Desired Reconstitution Concentration
= ÷

The dilution calculator equation

Concentration (start) × Volume (start) = Concentration (final) × Volume (final)

This equation is commonly abbreviated as: C1V1 = C2V2

Concentration (start) × Volume (start) = Concentration (final) × Volume (final)
× = ×

The specific activity calculator equation

Specific Activity (Unit/mg) = 106 ÷ Biological Activity (ED50)

Specific Activity (Unit/mg) = 106 ÷ Biological Activity (ED50)
Unit/mg = 106 ÷ ng/mL
