Description:Recombinant corresponding to 168aa from human Fibroblast Growth Factor 6 expressed in E. coli.
Biological Activity:ED50 ≤0.5 ng/ml (≥2 x 10e6 units/mg), determined by the dose-dependent stimulation of thymidine uptake by BaF3 cells expressing FGF-receptors.
Storage and Stability:Lyophilized powder may be stored at -20°C. Stable for 12 months at -20°C. Reconstitute with sterile ddH2O. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA). Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20°C. Reconstituted product is stable for 6 months at -20°C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
Form:Supplied as a lyophilized powder from PBS, pH 7.2. Reconstitute with sterile ddH2O to a concentration of ~0.5mg/ml. Do not vortex. For long term storage it is recommended to further dilute in buffer containing a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).
