Monoclonal Anti-Granulocyte Colony Stimulating Factor antibody produced in rat

General description

Mature myeloid cells are derived from bone-marrow derived precursor cells by the activity of three colony stimulating factors, granulocyte/macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF). The expression of G-CSF is the result of activation of pathways in response to tumor necrosis factor-α, LPS and toll-like receptor ligands. The pathways that induce the effects of G-CSF are PI3K, ERK1/2 and p38. The generation of neutrophils and induction of the circulation of hematopoietic stem cells from the bone marrow are the main functions of G-CSF. There are additional activities attributed to G-CSF such as neuroprotection, immunomodulation and generation of cardiac cells and dendritic cells. Large quantities of G-CSF are secreted in a variety of myeloid and non-myeloid cancers and rheumatoid arthritis
Monoclonal anti-granulocyte colony stimulating factor recognizes mouse G-CSF. The antibody shows less than 0.06% cross-reactivity with recombinant human G-CSF.

Immunogen

purified, recombinant mouse granulocyte colony stimulating factor, expressed in E. coli.

Application

Anti-granulocyte colony stimulating factor antibody may be used for immunoblotting at a working concentration of 1-2 μg/ml. For ELISA the recommended concentration range is 2-8 μg/ml. The antibody is also suitable for neutralization assays.

Physical form

Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution in phosphate buffered saline with 5% trehalose.
