Measured by its ability to bind to the VEGFR-3/FLT-4 receptor in the Ba/F3-hVEGFR-3 assay. The ED50 in this assay is about 4ng/ml corresponding to a Specific Activity of 250,000IU/mg.
Each mg of VEGF-C Human contains 50mg BSA and 1xPBS as buffer.
Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
Greater than 90.0% as determined by:
(a) Analysis by RP-HPLC.
(b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE.
It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized VEGF-C in sterile 18MΩ-cm H2O not less than 100ug/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.
Lyophilized VEGF-C although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18oC. Upon reconstitution VEGF-C should be stored at 4oC between 2-7 days and for future use below
-18oC.
Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
VEGF-C, Vascular endothelial growth factor C, VRP, Flt4 ligand, Flt4-L, Vascular endothelial growth factor-related protein, VEGFC.
