Synonyms:
Fms-related tyrosine kinase 3 ligand, FLK2, STK1, CD135, Stem Cell Tyrosine Kinase 1, FLT3LG, Flt3.
Description:
Flt3-Ligand Mouse Recombinant produced in E.Coli is non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 144 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 16431 Dalton.
Flt3-Ligand is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Source:
Escherichia Coli.
Physical Appearance:
Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
Formulation:
The protein was lyophilized with no additives.
Solubility:
It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Flt3-Ligand in sterile 18MΩ-cm H2O not less than 100µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.
Stability:
Lyophilized Flt3-Ligand although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution Flt-3 Ligand should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C.
For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).
Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
Purity:
Greater than 98.0% as determined by:
(a) Analysis by RP-HPLC.
(b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE.
Amino acid sequence:
The sequence of the first five N-terminal amino acids was determined and was found to be Thr-Gln-Asp-Cys-Ser.
Biological Activity:
The activity is determined by the ability to generate CD11c+ splenic dendritic cells in vivo in C57B1/6-12 week female mice. To obtain the desired affect, mice were treated with approximately 25ug of flt3-ligand once daily for 9 consecutive days via intraperitoneal injection.
Usage:
ProteinTools products are furnished for LABORATORY RESEARCH USE ONLY. The product may not be used as drugs, agricultural or pesticidal products, food additives or household chemicals.
