Lyophilized from 0.22 μm filtered solution in 30% ACN, 0.085% TFA. Normally trehalose is added as protectant before lyophilization. Contact us for customized product form or formulation.
Reconstitution :
Please see Certificate of Analysis for specific instructions. For best performance, we strongly recommend you to follow the reconstitution protocol provided in the CoA.
Storage :
For long term storage, the product should be stored at lyophilized state at -20°C or lower. Please avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. This product is stable after storage at: ● -20°C to -70°C for 12 months in lyophilized state; ● -70℃ for 3 months under sterile conditions after reconstitution.
Background :
Growth Differentiation Factor 15 (GDF-15), also called Macrophage Inhibitory Cytokine 1 (MIC-1). Expression of MIC-1 mRNA in monocytoid cells is up-regulated by a variety of stimuli associated with activation, including interleukin 1β, tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), interleukin 2, and macrophage colony-stimulating factor but not interferon γ, or lipopolysaccharide (LPS). It is highly expressed in cardiomyocytes, adipocytes, macrophages, endothelial cells, and vascular smooth muscle cells in normal and pathological condition. GDF-15 increases during tissue injury and inflammatory states and is associated with cardiometabolic risk. Increased GDF-15 levels are associated with cardiovascular diseases such as hypertrophy, heart failure, atherosclerosis, endothelial dysfunction, obesity, insulin resistance, diabetes, and chronic kidney diseases in diabetes. Increased GDF-15 level is linked with the progression and prognosis of the disease condition.

ACROBiosystems is a leading manufacturer of recombinant proteins and other critical reagents to support the development of target therapeutics, vaccines and diagnostic kits.

Our team has worked tirelessly since the genomic sequence of SARS-CoV-2 was first published, developing a serial of critical reagents to fight COVID-19. Our team has successfully developed a new neutralizing antibody titer serologic assay kit for COVID-19 vaccine evaluation (Cat.No.TAS-K022) which really showed excellent performance.

As the emerging variants may have impacted on the development of the COVID-19 epidemic, our team is also going full steam ahead on developing a collection of spike mutants for the emerging variants of SARS-COV-2. The reagents can be used to evaluate the efficacy of the antibodies and vaccination.

We have also developed an extensive collection of recombinant proteins to support the development for bispecific antibodies, antibody drug conjugates and cell therapies.
