Other Performance Data: Biological Activity: GM-CSF activity is determined by the dose-dependent proliferation of mouse FDCP-1 cell line and is typically less than 10 pg/mL. Endotoxin Level: Measured by kinetic LAL analysis and is typically ≤ 1 EU/μg protein.
Physical State: Lyophilized
Purity and Specificity: Purity greater than 95% as determined by analysis by RP-HPLC and reducing and non- reducing SDS-PAGE.
Background: M-GM-CSF is produced in response to a number of inflammatory mediators by mesenchymal cells present in the hemopoietic environment and at peripheral sites of inflammation. GM-CSF is able to stimulate the production of neutrophilic granulocytes, macrophages, and mixed granulocyte-macrophage colonies from bone marrow cells and can stimulate the formation of eosinophil colonies from fetal liver progenitor cells. GM-CSF can also stimulate some functional activities in mature granulocytes and macrophages. GM-CSF receptors shows significant homologies with other receptors for hematopoietic growth factors, including IL2 -beta, IL-3, IL-6, IL-7, EPO and the Prolactin receptors. Recombinant mouse GM- CSF produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 125 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 14,285.35 Daltons.
