GM- CSF Recombinant Proteins
Granulocyte-Macrophage Colony-Stimulating Factor (GM-CSF) Recombinant Protein is a bioengineered version of the endogenous cytokine that regulates hematopoiesis and immune responses. GM-CSF stimulates the proliferation, differentiation, and activation of granulocytes, macrophages, and dendritic cells, playing a vital role in innate and adaptive immunity. Recombinant GM-CSF is typically expressed in systems like E. coli, yeast, or mammalian cells to ensure high bioactivity and purity.
Content
Recombinant GM-CSF proteins are manufactured via advanced recombinant DNA technology, enabling precise replication of the human or murine cytokine. The process ensures proper folding, disulfide bond formation, and post-translational modifications when produced in mammalian or yeast systems. These proteins are characterized by:
- Purity: ≥ 95%, confirmed via SDS-PAGE and HPLC.
- Activity: Bioassay-verified for colony-stimulating potential.
- Stability: Lyophilized formulations ensure long-term activity after reconstitution.
- Variants: Human, mouse, or other species-specific GM-CSF are available for tailored research needs.
Applications
- Cancer Research:
- Serves as an adjuvant in cancer immunotherapy by boosting dendritic cell-based vaccines.
- Evaluates its role in the tumor microenvironment, including recruitment and activation of tumor-associated macrophages.
- Drug Discovery and Development:
- A critical tool in high-throughput screening for drugs targeting GM-CSF or its receptor.
- Assesses potential GM-CSF inhibitors in autoimmune and inflammatory diseases.
- Wound Healing and Regeneration:
- Studies GM-CSF’s ability to promote tissue repair by stimulating macrophage activity and angiogenesis.
- Neuroinflammation and Neurology:
- Investigates GM-CSF’s role in neuroinflammatory conditions, including multiple sclerosis and neurodegenerative diseases.
- Infectious Disease Research:
- Models host-pathogen interactions, particularly GM-CSF’s role in enhancing pathogen clearance by macrophages and neutrophils.
Recombinant GM-CSF proteins are indispensable in immunology, oncology, and regenerative medicine, offering critical insights into therapeutic interventions and basic biological processes.
