Analysis Note

Specific Activity: Mouse EGF is fully biologically active when compared to standards.The ED50, as determined by its dose-dependent mitogenic activity on BALB/c 3T3 cells, is ≤ 0.15 ng/mL

Application

For most in vitro applications, EGF exerts its biological activity in the concentration range of 0.5 to 25.0 ng/mL. Responding cells are (partial list): Epidermal mesothelial cells.

Other Notes

Replaces: GF123

Physical form

Lyophilized from sterile filtered 10 mM Sodium Phosphate, pH 7.5, containing no additives.

Preparation Note

The lyophilized EGF, though stable at room temperature, is best stored desiccated at -20°C. Reconstitute with water to a concentration of 0.1 - 1 mg/mL. This solution can be diluted into other buffered solutions and stored at 4°C for 1 week or -20°C for future use. Reconstituted EGF should be maintained at -20°C in undiluted aliquots for up to one year.
