Descripción

General description

GM-CSF was initially characterized as a factor that can support the in vitro colony formation of granulocyte-macrophage progenitors. It is also a growth factor for erythroid, megakaryocyte, and eosinophil progenitors. GM-CSF is produced by a number of different cell types (including T cells, B cells, macrophages, mast cells, endothelial cells, fibroblasts, and adipocytes) in response to cytokine or inflammatory stimuli. On mature hematopoietic cells, GM-CSF is a survival factor for and activates the effector functions of granulocytes, monocytes/macrophages, and eosinophils. GM-CSF promotes a Th1 biased immune response, angiogenesis, allergic inflammation, and the development of autoimmunity. It shows clinical effectiveness in ameliorating chemotherapy-induced neutropenia, and GM-CSF transfected tumor cells are utilized as cancer vaccines. The 22 kDa glycosylated GM-CSF, similar to IL-3 and IL-5, is a cytokine with a core of four bundled alpha -helices. Mature rat GM-CSF shares 56-69% amino acid sequence identity with canine, feline, human, mouse, and porcine GM-CSF. GM-CSF exerts its biological effects through a heterodimeric receptor complex composed of GM-CSF R alpha /CD116 and the signal transducing common beta chain (CD131) which is also a component of the high-affinity receptors for IL-3 and IL-5. In addition, GM-CSF binds a naturally occurring soluble form of GM-CSF R alpha. Rat GM-CSF is active on mouse cells, although mouse GM-CSF is only weakly active on rat cells.

Specificity

Detects rat GM-CSF in direct ELISAs and Western blot. In direct ELISAs, approximately 100% cross-reactivity with recombinant feline GM-CSF and recombinant porcine GM-CSF is observed, approximately 30% cross-reactivity with recombinant mouse GM-CSF, recombinant canine GM-CSF and recombinant human GM-CSF is observed.

Immunogen

Purified recombinant rat GM-CSF expressed in E. coli.

Physical form

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

Reconstitution

Reconstitute at 0.2 mg/mL in sterile PBS.
