Product Details
| Alternative Name: | NGF 7S |
| |
| MW: | ~130kDa. |
| |
| Source: | Isolated from mouse submaxillary glands by a modification of the procedure described by T. Darling, et al.; Cell Culture Meth. Mol. Cell Biol. 4, 79 (1984). |
| |
| UniProt ID: | P01139 |
| |
| Quantity: | Determined by Lowry and Pierce method. |
| |
| Formulation: | Lyophilized. |
| |
| Purity: | ≥98% (HPLC) |
| |
| Biological Activity: | Bioassayed for neurotrophic activity using the rat pheochromocytoma cell PC12 cultures over a period of 7-14 days. Neurotrophic activity is in the range of 0.5-50ng/ml. Recommended concentration to be used in vitro for maintenance of sympathetic and immature sensory nerve cells is 50-100ng/ml medium. |
| |
| Reconstitution: | Dilute in sterile water or DMEM to a concentration of at least 10µg/ml and store at -80°C before use. Medium containing NGF cannot be reused due to NGF degradation. |
| |
| Shipping: | Blue Ice |
| |
| Long Term Storage: | -20°C |
| |
| Use/Stability: | Stable for 2-3 weeks when stored at room temperature. After reconstitution, store for up to one week at +4°C and for 4-6 weeks at -80°C. |
| |
| Handling: | Avoid freeze/thaw cycles. After reconstitution, prepare aliquots and store at -80°C. |
| |
| Regulatory Status: | RUO - Research Use Only |
