Introduction
FLT3 ligand is a receptor for the fl cytokine has a tyrosine-protein kinase activity & a growth factor that regulates proliferation of early hematopoietic cells. Flt3-Ligand synergizes with other CSFs and interleukins to induce growth and differentiation.
Description
Flt3 Ligand Rhesus Macaque Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 159 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 18.0kDa.
The Flt3 Ligand Rhesus Macaque is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Source
Escherichia Coli.
Physical Appearance
Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
Formulation
Lyophilized from a 0.2μm filtered concentrated solution in PBS, pH 7.4.
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 Rhesus Macaque although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution Flt3 Ligand Rhesus Macaque should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C.
Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
Purity
Greater than 97.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE.
