Mouse CSF-1/M-CSF Recombinant Protein #33444

    Product Information

    Storage

    Mouse CSF-1/M-CSF Recombinant Protein is supplied as lyophilized material that is very stable at -20°C. It is recommended to reconstitute with sterile water at a concentration of 0.1 mg/ml which can be further diluted in aqueous solutions as needed. Addition of a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA) is recommended for long-term storage.

    Once in solution, store at 4°C and use within 1 month, or store at -20ºC to -80ºC and use within 3 months to prevent loss of potency. Aliquot to avoid multiple freeze/thaw cycles if storing reconstituted material at -20ºC to -80ºC.

    Product Description

    MW (kDa) 18.2
    Purity A greater than or equal to 95% purity was determined by SDS-PAGE.
    Endotoxin Endotoxin levels are less than or equal to 1 EU / 1 μg mCSF-1/M-CSF.
    Activity The bioactivity of recombinant mCSF-1/M-CSF was determined in an NFS-60 cell proliferation assay. The ED50 of each lot is less than or equal to 10 ng/ml.

    Source / Purification

    Recombinant mouse CSF-1/M-CSF was expressed in E. coli and is supplied in a lyophilized form.

    Background

    Colony stimulating factor 1 (CSF-1)/macrophage colony stimulating factor (M-CSF) is produced by fibroblasts, endothelial cells, stromal cells, macrophages, osteoblasts, and other cell types (1). CSF-1/M-CSF is required for growth and differentiation of monocytes and macrophages (1,2). CSF-1/M-CSF polarizes macrophages into the M2 phenotype where anti-inflammatory IL-10 is produced, rather than the M1 phenotype where inflammatory cytokines are produced. CSF-1/M-CSF also recruits monocytes and enhances angiogenesis by inducing VEGF production (1,2). CSF-1/M-CSF binds to its receptor CSF1R; downstream signaling involves PI3K/Akt, Erk, and Stats 1, 3, and 5 (1,3). An increase in CSF-1/M-CSF expression may contribute to cancer progression, and high plasma CSF-1/M-CSF levels are associated with rheumatoid arthritis (1,4,5).
