The ED50, calculated by the dose-dependant proliferation of murine NFS-60 indicator cells (measured by 3H-thymidine uptake) is < 0.1 ng/ml, corresponding to a Specific Activity of 10MIU/mg.
G-CSF was lyophilized from a concentrated (1mg/ml) solution containing 10mM Hydrochloric Acid pH=6.5, 0.4mg tween 20, 100mg mannitol, 160 mg L-arginine, 40 mg phenylalanin and 4mg methionin.
Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
GCSF quantitation was carried out by two independent methods:
UV spectroscopy at 280 nm using the absorbency value of 0.815 as the extinction coefficient for a 0.1% (1mg/ml) solution. This value is calculated by the PC GENE computer analysis program of protein sequences (IntelliGenetics).
Analysis by RP-HPLC, using a calibrated solution of Granulocyte Colony Stimulating Factor as a Reference Standard.
Greater than 98.0% as determined by:
(1)Analysis by RP-HPLC.
(2)Analysis by SDS-PAGE.
It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Granulocyte Colony Stimulating Factor in sterile 18MΩ-cm H2O not less than 100ug/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.
Chinese Hamster Ovary Cells (CHO).
Lyophilized Granulocyte Colony Stimulating Factor although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below
-18oC. Upon reconstitution G-CSF should be stored at 4oC between
2-7 days and for future use below -18oC.
For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).
Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
