Purity: >95% by SDS-PAGE and HPLC analyses.
Biological Activity: Fully biologically active when compared to standard. The ED50 determined by a cell proliferation
assay using human umbilical vein endothelial cells(HUVEC) is less than 8 ng/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of> 1.3 × 105 IU/mg.
Physical Appearance: Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
Formulation: Lyophilized from a 0.2μm filtered concentrated solution in PBS, pH 7.4.
Endotoxin: Less than 1EU/μg of rHuVEGF165 as determined by LAL method.
Reconstitution: We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the
bottom. Reconstitute in sterile distilled water or aqueous buffer containing 0.1% BSA to a
concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL. Stock solutions should be apportioned into working aliquots and
stored at <-20°C. Further dilutions should be made in appropriate buffered solutions.
Storage: 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.
Usage: This material is offered by Shanghai Corning Bio-Tech for research, laboratory or further
evaluation purposes. NOT FOR HUMAN USE.
Human Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor
Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor is a potent growth and angiogenic cytokine. It stimulates proliferation and survival of
endothelial cells, and promotes angiogenesis and vascular permeability. Expressed in vascularized tissues, VEGF plays a
prominent role in normal and pathological angiogenesis. Substantial evidence implicates VEGF in the induction of tumor
metastasis and intra-ocular neovascular syndromes. VEGF signals through the three receptors; fms-like tyrosine kinase (flt-1),
KDR gene product (the murine homolog of KDR is the flk-1 gene product) and the flt4 gene product.
