Activity

Measured by its ability to promote the expansion of E16 rat liver mononuclear cells in vitro, in the presence of Recombinant Mouse SCF/c-kit Ligand (Catalog # 455-MC), Recombinant Mouse Thrombopoietin/Tpo (Catalog # 488-TO), and Recombinant Mouse Flt-3 Ligand (Catalog # 427-FL).
The ED50 for this effect is 0.1-0.4 μg/mL in the presence of cross-linking antibody, Mouse Anti-polyHistidine Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB050).

Formulation, Preparation and Storage

Carrier Free
What does CF mean?

CF stands for Carrier Free (CF). We typically add Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) as a carrier protein to our recombinant proteins. Adding a carrier protein enhances protein stability, increases shelf-life, and allows the recombinant protein to be stored at a more dilute concentration. The carrier free version does not contain BSA.

What formulation is right for me?

In general, we advise purchasing the recombinant protein with BSA for use in cell or tissue culture, or as an ELISA standard. In contrast, the carrier free protein is recommended for applications, in which the presence of BSA could interfere.

Carrier: 3729-SC
Formulation Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution in PBS with BSA as a carrier protein.
Reconstitution Reconstitute at 100 μg/mL in PBS containing at least 0.1% human or bovine serum albumin.

Background: SCGF/CLEC11a

Stem Cell Growth Factor (SCGF), also known as LSLCL, P47, and CLEC11A, is a secreted glycoprotein that acts on primitive hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells to support their proliferation and differentiation. Mature mouse SCGF contains an N‑terminal Glu‑rich region, a leucine zipper region, and a C‑terminal lectin‑like domain (1, 2). Human SCGF contains an RGD motif in its Glu‑rich region but rat SCGF does not (1). Mature mouse SCGF shares approximately 83% and 93% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with human and rat SCGF (1‑3). SCGF is produced by various hematopoietic cell lines and by CD34+ and CD34-CD33+ bone marrow cells as a 47 kDa sulfated and O‑glycosylated sialoprotein (2‑6). It is also expressed by infiltrating macrophages in some gastrointestinal tract tumors (7). Mouse SCGF mRNA has been detected in proliferating chondrocytes, the primary ossification center, perichondrium, and periosteum (6). SCGF should not be confused with the similarly named SCF (stem cell factor)/c‑Kit Ligand which exerts distinct activities during hematopoietic differentiation. SCGF exhibits erythroid burst (BFU‑E) promoting activity in the absence of SCF/c‑kit Ligand but suppresses the formation of erythroid bursts induced by SCF (4, 6). SCGF cooperates with IL‑3, Flt‑3 Ligand, GM‑CSF, or G‑CSF to enhance the growth of granulocyte‑macrophage colonies (CFU‑GM) (4, 6). It also promotes (with Flt‑3 Ligand and VEGF) the maintenance and expansion of CD34+CD133+ progenitor cells as well as their differentiation into the endothelial lineage (8, 9). Serum levels of SCGF increase during stem cell transplantation and correlate with the recovery of hematopoiesis (5). In humans, circulating SCGF levels are decreased in severe malarial anemia, and an SCGF promoter polymorphism (‑539C/T) is associated with resistance to malarial anemia (10, 11).
