Bovine
Reconstitution
Reconstitute the contents of the vial in 2 ml of prewarmed (37 degree C) sterile PBS or water. Gently rotate the vial until the contents are dissolved. This stock solution may be further diluted in sterile tissue culture media to obtain the desired working concentrations. It is recommended that medium containing diluted product is aseptically filtered prior to use.
Biological Activity
Optimum concentration for human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) range from 50-200 ug/ml, optimal concentration with heparin (50 ug/ml) is about 12 ug/ml.
Remarks
BSE-free tested!
Preparation and Storage
Also stable at 4 degree C for several weeks it is recommended to store the product below 0 degree C. After reconstitution the product shout be stored in aliquots at -20 degree C to -70 degree C.
Related Product Information for ECGFpro2 + Heparin supplement
Endothelial cell growth factor (ECGF) is an extract of bovine brain containing growth promoting factors for vascular endothelial cells of mammalian origin. Endothelial cell growth factor is prepared using a modification of the method of Maciag, et al. (1979) lyophilized from a sterile solution containing NaCl and streptomycin sulfate. ECGFpro2 is supplemented with recombinant human VEGF-C (corresponding to 50 ng/ml) a concentration sufficient for the cultivation of lymphatic endothelial cells. Lymphatic endothelial cells from human skin can be established as primary cultures by traditional methods. The serial propagation of these cells has proved to be difficult. The long-term propagation of these cells in vitro can be achieved with an extract prepared from bovine brain. The introduction of a fibronectin or collagen matrix to the cell culture system allows cultivating endothelial cells at clonal densities. With ECGF, the FCS requirement can be reduced. Heparin potentiates the mitogenic activity of crude preparations of ECGF. ECGF has also been reported to eliminate the need for feeder cells in the clonal growth of hybridomas and other cell types.

Product Notes
The ECGFpro2 + Heparin (Catalog #AAA692242) is a Supplement produced from Cattle and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The Bovine ECGFpro2 + Heparin (complete for lymphatic ECs) reacts with Human Cells, Mouse Cells, Cattle Cells and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "ECGFpro2 + Heparin, Supplement" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
