Granulocyte-macrophage colony<br />

stimulating Factor<br />

Granulocyte-Macrophage Colony Stimulating Factor (GM-CSF), a<br />

glycoprotein that is critical to hematopoiesis, induces bone marrow<br />

progenitor cells to proliferate and differentiate into granulocytes and<br />

macrophages. It is also involved in resistance to infection.<br />

avoid multiple freeze-thaws.<br />

stem cell Factor<br />

Stem Cell Factor (SCF) is a glycoprotein that plays a key role in<br />

hematopoiesis acting both as a positive and negative regulator, often<br />

in synergy with other cytokines. It also plays a key role in mast cell<br />

development, gametogenesis, and melanogenesis.<br />

on cell type and application.<br />

storage and stability:<br />

Stable for at least three months at -20ºC (lyophilized or solubilized).<br />

tumor necrosis Factor-α<br />

Tumor necrosis Factor-α (TnF-α) has growth-inhibitory effects on<br />

many tumor cells and nontumor cells, e.g., certain hematopoietic<br />

cells. It also has differentiation-inducing effects, e.g., on<br />

macrophages.<br />
