The ED50, calculated by the dose-dependant stimulation of KGF-responsive BaF3 indicator cells (measured by 3H-thymidine uptake) is < 10ng/ml corresponding to a specific activity of 100,000 Units/mg.

The protein was lyophilized from a concentrated (1mg/ml) solution containing 20mM Phosphate buffer pH-8 and 0.1M NaCl.

Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.

Greater than 95.0% as determined by:
(a) Analysis by HPLC. (b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE.

It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized KGF in sterile 18MΩ-cm H₂O not less than 100ug/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.

Escherichia Coli.

Lyophilized KGF although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18^oC. Upon reconstitution FGF7 should be stored at 4^oC between 2-7 days and for future use below -18^oC. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA). Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
