Source

Sf9, Insect Cells

Field of Research

Cardiovascular Research; Cell Biology

Purity

Greater than 90.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE.

Bioactivity

Measured by its ability to stimulate phosphorylation of the VEGFR-3/FLT-4 receptor in porcine aortic endothelial cells. The ED50 for this effect is typically 200-300ng/ml corresponding to a Specific Activity of 3,334-5,000IU/mg.

Form

Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.

Solubility

It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor C in sterile 18MΩ-cm H2O not less than 100μg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.

Storage Conditions

Stability: Lyophilized Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor-C although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution VEGF-C should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C.Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles
