Description

General description

Product Source: E.coli

TPO (Thrombopoietin, Mpl-ligand, MGDF) stimulates the proliferation and maturation of megakaryocytes and promotes increased circulating levels of platelets in vivo. Chemicon′s Human TPO is a soluble 18.5 kDa protein containing 174 amino acid residues which comprises the receptor binding domain of the Mpl-ligand protein.

Biochem/physiol Actions

The ED50 was determined by the dose-dependent stimulation of the proliferation of M07e cells is ≤1.0 ng/mL

Physical form

Lyophilized protein from 5mM Tris, pH 7.6, with no additives.

Storage and Stability

The lyophilized powder, though stable at room temperature, is best stored at -20°C. Reconstitute in 5 mM Tris, pH 8.0 to a concentration of 0.5-1.0 mg/mL. This solution can be diluted into other aqueous buffers and stored at 4ºC for 1 week or -20ºC for future use. Reconstituted TPO should be stored in working aliquots at -20°C.
