Recombinant Human Fibroblast Growth Factor- acidic (rHu aFGF)

Fully biologically active when compared to standard. The ED50 as determined by a cell proliferation assay using murine balb/c 3T3 cells is less than 0.5 ng/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of > 2.0 x 106 IU/mg in the presence of 10 μg/ml of heparin.

This lyophilized preparation is stable at 2-8 °C, but should be kept at -20 °C for long term storage, preferably desiccated. Upon reconstitution, the preparation is stable for up to one week at 2-8 °C. For maximal stability, apportion the reconstituted preparation into working aliquots and store at -20 °C to -70 °C. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
