Purity

Purity of CTGF is greater than 90% as determined by SDS-PAGE.

Bioactivity

Determined by the dose-dependent stimulation of the proliferation of HUVEC cells. The expected ED50 for this effect is 1-2μg/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of 500-1000units/mg.

Form

Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.

Solubility

It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized CTGF in sterile 18MΩcm H2O not less than 100μg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.

Storage Conditions

Stability: Lyophilized CTGF although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution CTGF should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA) . Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles
