Product Properties

• Formulation

  Lyophilized from sterile PBS, pH 7.5.

• Features & Benefits

  Endotoxin: <0.1 EU per µg of the protein as determined by the LAL method.

• Molecular weight

  22 kDa

• Usage notes

  Always centrifuge tubes before opening. It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Human CNTF protein using the buffer we provided not less than 100 µg/mL, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.

• Storage instructions

  Lyophilized Human CNTF protein product should be stored desiccated below -20°C. Upon reconstitution, the protein should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -20°C. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA). Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.

Additional Information

• Background

  Ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) is a member of the cytokine family. CNTF is a survival factor for various neuronal cell types. Subsequent studies have demonstrated that CNTF is a survival factor for additional neuronal cell types including: dorsal root ganglion sensory neurons, sympathetic ganglion neurons, embryonic motor neurons, major pelvic ganglion neurons and hippocampal neurons.
