Description
Recombinant Human FGF2 is a xeno-free growth supplement necessary for promoting cellular proliferation and expansion of progenitor cells. It is provided as a lyophilized powder.
Product Specification
Size
100 µg
Purity
Greater than 95% by SDS-PAGE
Shipping conditions
Blue ice
Storage conditions
-20°C
Source
Produced in the endosperm tissue of barley grain (Hordeum vulgare)
Endotoxin level
<0.005 ng per µg of recombinant protein (0.05 EU/µg)
Reconstitution
Centrifuge the vial before opening. Reconstitute the lyophilized protein in sterile phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) + 0.1% Human Serum Albumin (HSA). The concentration of the reconstituted protein solution should be >100 µg/mL.
Stability
The lyophilized protein should be stored at -20°C. The reconstituted protein solution should be used immediately or stored in working aliquots at -20°C. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Xeno free
Yes
Usage notes
The optimal concentration should be determined for specific applications and cell lines. For use with Axol Neural Expansion-XF Medium (ax0030-500), supplement the medium with 20 ng/mL Recombinant Human FGF2.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Neural Expansion-XF Medium be frozen once supplemented?
We recommend adding the growth factors EGF and FGF2 fresh each time Neural Expansion-XF Medium is used.
How long can I expand the NSCs before differentiation?
Please do not passage the NSCs more than 3 times as the cells will transition to gliogenic state over longer term culture.
We found that the cells treated with growth factors (EGF and FGF2) gradually adopt a "flat" morphology, however, when the growth factors are removed, they revert back to spindle-like morphology. This is completely normal.
It is best to withdraw the growth factors (EGF and FGF2) first (at least a couple of days) before differentiation using neural differentiation medium.
