Validation Data Gallery

  • Purity of recombinant human CNTF was determined by SDS- polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The protein was resolved in an SDS- polyacrylamide gel in reducing and non-reducing conditions and stained using Coomassie blue.

  • Recombinant human CNTF (Cat no: HZ-1331) induces dose-dependent release of Heptoglobin in the HEPG2 hepatocellular carcinoma cell line in the presence of 200 ng/mL CNTFR. HEPG2 cells were treated with increasing concentration of recombinant CNTF for 16 hours before supernatant collection. The supernatant was tested for Haptoglobin via ELISA kit (KE00148). The EC50 was determined using a 4-parameter non-linear regression model. The EC50 range is 2.75-14 ng/mL.

Stability and Reconstitution

Stability and Storage Lyophilized proteins are stable for 1 year from the date of receipt if stored between (-20°C) and (-80°C). Upon reconstitution we recommend that the solution can be stored at (4°C) for short term or at (-20°C) to (-80°C) for long term. Repeated freeze thaw cycles should be avoided with reconstituted products.
Reconstitution Briefly centrifuge the vial before opening. It is recommended to reconstitute the protein in sterile 1x PBS pH 7.4 containing 0.1% endotoxin-free recombinant human serum albumin (HSA).

Background

CNTF or ciliary neurotrophic factor, is a member of the IL-6 family of cytokines alongside LIF, OSM, and cardiotropin-1. It promotes gene expression, cell survival, and differentiation of sensory, ciliary, and motor neurons. It promotes rod and cone photoreceptor regeneration in response to retinal injury and degeneration. It is also thought to control B cell differentiation in the bone marrow. CNTF can be used to maintain neural stem cells in the pluripotent state, or it can promote their further differentiation into glial precursor cells, astrocytes, and oligodendrocytes (PMID: 30504707, 21912637, 26487326).
