Bio-activity
The biological activity of Mouse IGFBP-2 was determined by its ability to inhibit the biological activity of rmIGF-II on MCF-7 cells (Karey, K.P. et al., 1988, Cancer Research 48:4083). The expected ED50 is typically 0.125 - 0.5 μg/ml in the presence of 30 ng/ml recombinant mouse IGF-II.
Each investigator should determine their own optimal working dilution for specific applications.
Storage
This lyophilized protein is stable for six to twelve months when stored desiccated at -20 centigrade to -70 centigrade. After aseptic reconstitution, this protein may be stored at 2 centigrade to 8 centigrade for one month or at -20 centigrade to -70 centigrade in a manual defrost freezer. Avoid Repeated Freeze Thaw Cycles.
