M-CSF (Macrophage colony stimulating factor), Human
Macrophage Colony-Stimulating Factor (M-CSF), is a secreted cytokine which causes hematopoietic stem cells to differentiate into macrophages or other related cell types. The active form of M-CSF/CSF-1 is found extracellularly as a disulfide-linked homodimer, and is thought to be produced by proteolytic cleavage of membrane-bound precursors. M-CSF/CSF-1 induces cells of the monocyte/macrophage lineage. It also plays a role in immunological defenses, bone metabolism, lipoproteins clearance, fertility and pregnancy. Upregulation of M-CSF/CSF-1 in the infarcted myocardium may have an active role in healing not only through its effects on cells of monocyte/macrophage lineage, but also by regulating endothelial cell chemokine expression.

Escherichia coli
Endotoxin Test:
<0.1 EU per 1 μg of the protein by the LAL method.
Activity:
Measure by its ability to induce proliferation in NFS-60 cells. The ED50 for this effect is <1 ng/mL. The specific activity of recombinant human M-CSF is approximately > 2.5x 108 IU/mg.
Purity:
>98% as determined by SDS-PAGE.
Form:
Lyophilized
Storage Buffer:
Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution of PBS, pH 7.4.
Reconstitution:
It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized protein in sterile H₂O to a concentration not less than 200 μg/mL and incubate the stock solution for at least 20 min to ensure sufficient re-dissolved.
