Ms Recom G-CSF, 10 µg

STEMCELL Technologies supplies Mouse Recombinant G-CSF as a research-grade laboratory reagent. According to the manufacturer's product page, G-CSF stimulates the initial proliferation of granulocyte-macrophage progenitors and supports the survival of erythroid and eosinophil progenitors. The product is designated for research use only and is not intended for human or animal diagnostic or therapeutic applications unless otherwise stated.

Biological activity was assessed by the cytokine's ability to promote proliferation of NFS-60 cells, with cell proliferation measured after 69 hours of culture using a fluorometric assay method. The EC50 is defined as the effective concentration of the growth factor at which proliferation reaches 50% of maximum, and is reported as 8 - 12 pg/mL. The protein has a predicted molecular mass of 19.1 kDa, as visualised by SDS-PAGE under reducing and non-reducing conditions followed by Coomassie Blue staining. The material is supplied as a solid powder.

The accompanying safety data sheet indicates the product is not classified as a hazardous substance or mixture under the Globally Harmonized System (GHS) or the 2012 OSHA Hazard Communication Standard, and is described as stable under normal conditions. Recommended storage is in tightly closed containers kept in a dry, cool, and well-ventilated place. The product is not regulated for transport by DOT, TDG, MEX, ICAO, IATA, IMDG, RID, ADR, or ADN.
