GM-CSF Protein, Human (P.pastoris)

GM-CSF Protein is a hematopoietic growth factor and immunomodulator. By binding to specific receptors on the surface of target cells, GM-CSF Protein activates intracellular signaling pathways to regulate cell proliferation, differentiation, maturation, and function. GM-CSF Protein plays an important role in the hematopoietic process and the immune system. GM-CSF Protein, Human (P.pastoris) is a recombinant GM-CSF Protein expressed by P. pastoris without a tag^[1][2][3][4].

GM-CSF is a cytokine secreted by various cells (such as T cells, monocytes, endothelial cells, etc.), playing an important role in the immune system and hematopoietic process. GM-CSF can stimulate the proliferation and differentiation of precursor cells of granulocytes (such as neutrophils and eosinophils) and macrophages in the bone marrow, promoting the production of mature blood cells. GM-CSF can also activate mature granulocytes and macrophages, enhancing their phagocytic ability, bactericidal activity, and antigen-presenting function, and participating in innate and adaptive immune responses. In addition, GM-CSF also has pro-inflammatory activity^[1][2][3][4].

GM-CSF Protein (Human; 1% v/v; 7-10 days) can promote the proliferation of acute myeloid leukemia colony-forming cells (AML-CFU)^[5].

GM-CSF Protein (Human; 50 U/min/kg; continuous intravenous/subcutaneous infusion; 7-28 days) significantly increases white blood cell counts and bone marrow cellularity in healthy cynomolgous macaques and pancytopenic immunodeficient rhesus macaques, with indices returning to normal after drug withdrawal^[6].

The ED₅₀ is ≤0.2 ng/mL as measured by TF-1 cells, corresponding to a specific activity of ≥5.0 × 10⁶ units/mg.

24-35 kDa

Greater than 95% as determined by reducing SDS-PAGE.

Lyophilized powder.

Lyophilized after extensive dialysis against 10 mM PB, pH 7.0.

<1 EU/μg, determined by LAL method.

It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100 μg/mL in ddH₂O. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% BSA, 5% HSA, 10% FBS or 5% Trehalose).

Stored at -20°C for 2 years from date of receipt. After reconstitution, it is stable at 4°C for 1 week or -20°C for longer (with carrier protein). It is recommended to freeze aliquots at -20°C or -80°C for extended storage.

Room temperature in continental US; may vary elsewhere.
