Purity
Purity as determined by densitometric image analysis: >90%
SDS-PAGE Gel
14 % SDS-PAGE separation of Rat Adiponectin:
1. M.W. marker – 14, 21, 31, 45, 66, 97 kDa
2. Reduced and boiled sample, 2.5 μg/lane
3. Non-reduced and non-boiled sample, 2.5 μg/lane
Biological Activity
The biological activity of Adiponectin is measured by its ability to inhibit proliferation of mouse 3T3 fibroblasts stimulated by PDGF. The ED50 for the effect is typically 5-15 μg/mL.
Endotoxin
< 1.0 EU/ug
Formulation
Filtered (0.4 μm) and lyophilized in 20 mM Tris buffer, 50 mM NaCl, pH 7.5.
Reconstitution
Add 200 µl of deionized water to prepare a working stock solution of approximately 0.5 mg/ml and let the lyophilized pellet dissolve completely. Filter sterilize your culture media/working solutions containing this non-sterile product before using in cell culture.
Applications
Western blotting, ELISA, Cell culture and/or animal studies
Shipping
At ambient temperature. Upon receipt, store the product at the temperature recommended below.
Storage/Expiration
Store the lyophilized protein at –80 °C. Lyophilized protein remains stable until the expiry date when stored at –80 °C. Aliquot reconstituted protein to avoid repeated freezing/thawing cycles and store at –80 °C for long term storage. Reconstituted protein can be stored at 4 °C for a week.
Quality Control Test
BCA to determine quantity of the protein.
SDS PAGE to determine purity of the protein.
LAL to determine quantity of endotoxin.
