BT-FGFBHS-GMP
Carrier Free
CF stands for Carrier Free (CF). We typically add Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) as a carrier protein to our recombinant proteins. Adding a carrier protein enhances protein stability, increases shelf-life, and allows the recombinant protein to be stored at a more dilute concentration. The carrier free version does not contain BSA.
In general, we advise purchasing the recombinant protein with BSA for use in cell or tissue culture, or as an ELISA standard. In contrast, the carrier free protein is recommended for applications, in which the presence of BSA could interfere.

Scientific Data
View Larger
The bioactivity of Recombinant Human FGF basic Heat Stable GMP Protein (Catalog # BT-FGFBHS-GMP) was measured in a cell proliferation assay using NR6R-3T3 mouse fibroblast cell line. The ED50 for this effect is 0.0500-0.600 ng/mL. Three independent lots were tested for bioactivity and plotted on the same graph to show lot-to-lot consistency of GMP FGF basic/FGF2 Heat Stabile protein.

2 μg/lane of Recombinant Human FGF basic Heat Stable GMP Protein (Catalog # BT-FGFBHS-GMP) was resolved with SDS-PAGE under reducing (R) and non-reducing (NR) conditions and visualized by Coomassie® Blue staining, showing bands at 16-19 kDa, under reducing conditions.
Background: FGF basic/FGF2/bFGF
FGF basic (also known as FGF-2 and HBGF-2) is an 18-34 kDa, heparin-binding member of the FGF superfamily of molecules. As a growth factor, FGF basic is expressed in a variety of cell types and involved in the regulation of cell proliferation, differentiation, migration and survival. FGF basic promotes self-renewal and upregulates pluripotency markers such as Oct4, Sox2 and Nanog, making it well-known for maintenance of pluripotency in embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). These functions make FGF basic an important cell culture supplement in stem cell applications for regenerative medicine and clinical manufacturing protocols.
