PeproTech GM-CSF Polyclonal Antibody, Biotin, PeproTech®, Invitrogen™

Description

AA Sequence of recombinant protein: MAPARSPSPS TQPWEHVNAI QEARRLLNLS RDTAAEMNET VEVISEMFDL QEPTCLQTRL ELYKQGLRGS LTKLKGPLTM MASHYKQHCP PTPETSCATQ IITFESFKEN LKDFLLVIPF DCWEPVQE. Preparation: Produced from sera of rabbits immunized with highly pure Recombinant Human GM-CSF. Anti-Human GM-CSF-specific antibody was purified by affinity chromatography and then biotinylated. Sandwich ELISA: To detect hGM-CSF by sandwich ELISA (using 100 μL/well antibody solution) a concentration of 0.25-1.0 μg/mL of this antibody is required. This biotinylated polyclonal antibody, in conjunction with PeproTech Polyclonal Anti-Human GM-CSF (500-P33) as a capture antibody, allows the detection of at least 0.2-0.4 ng/well of Recombinant hGM-CSF. Western Blot: To detect hGM-CSF by Western Blot analysis this antibody can be used at a concentration of 0.1-0.2 μg/mL. Used in conjunction with compatible secondary reagents the detection limit for Recombinant hGM-CSF is 1.5-3.0 ng/lane, under either reducing or non-reducing conditions. 500-P33BT-1MG will be provided as 2 x 500 μg

The GM-CSF gene encodes for a cytokine that regulates the production, differentiation, and function of macrophages and granulocytes. The active form of the protein exists as a homodimer in the extracellular space. This gene is located in a cluster of related genes at the chromosome region 5q31, which has been associated with interstitial deletions in the 5q- syndrome and acute myelogenous leukemia. Other genes in the cluster include interleukins 4, 5, and 13. The gene is involved in promoting tissue inflammation. Elevated levels of cytokines, including the one produced by this gene, have been observed in SARS-CoV-2 infected patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome. Mice that lack this gene or its receptor have been shown to develop pulmonary alveolar proteinosis.
