Endothelial cell growth supplement (ECGS) is an extract of bovine pituitary glands containing growth promoting factors for vascular endothelial cells of mammalian origin. ECGS has also been reported to be beneficial as a media supplement for the fusion and growth of hybridoma cells in monoclonal antibody production. Endothelial cell growth supplement is prepared using a modification of a published method.
Concentration:~3mg/ml (after reconstitution)
Form:Supplied as a lyophilized powder in sodium chloride, streptomycin sulfate. Reconstitute with 5ml prewarmed sterile balanced salt solution.
