ACTIVITY TEST
Connective Tissue Growth Factor (CTGF), also known as CCN2 is a matricellular protein of the CCN family of extracellular matrix-associated heparin-binding proteins. CTGF has important roles in many biological processes, including cell adhesion, migration, proliferation, angiogenesis, skeletal development, and tissue wound repair, and is critically involved in fibrotic disease and several forms of cancers. As CTGF has the function of cell adhesion, we measure the activity of recombinant human CTGF by the ability of the immobilized protein to support the adhesion of Balb/3T3 mouse embryonic fibroblast cell. When 5 x 104 cells/well are added to different concentrations of recombinat human CTGF coated plates, cells will adhere after 2 hour incubation at 37 ℃. The adhesion of Balb/3T3 after 2 hour incubation at 37 ℃ observed by inverted microscope was shown in Figure 1. Cell adherent was in a dose dependent manner, the result was shown in Figure 2, the EC50 was 0.6 ug/ml.
USAGE
Reconstitute in 10mM PBS (pH7.4) to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL. Do not vortex.
STORAGE
Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles. Store at 2-8°C for one month. Aliquot and store at -80°C for 12 months.
STABILITY
The thermal stability is described by the loss rate. The loss rate was determined by accelerated thermal degradation test, that is, incubate the protein at 37°C for 48h, and no obvious degradation and precipitation were observed. The loss rate is less than 5% within the expiration date under appropriate storage condition.
