Preparation and Storage

  • Stability and Storage

    Shipped at 4°C. Store at 4°C prior to reconstitution. Store at -80°C. Avoid freeze / thaw cycle.

    pH: 7.40
    Constituents: 95% PBS, 5% Trehalose

  • Reconstitution
    It is recommended to reconstitute ab155618 in sterile PBS to a final concentration of 100 µg/ml. Solubilize for 30 to 60 minutes at room temperature with occasional gentle mixing. Carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA) is strongly recommended for further dilution and long term storage. Avoid vigorous shaking or vortexing.

  • Relevance
    Human erythropoietin is member of the EPO/TPO family and encodes a secreted, glycosylated cytokine hormone composed of four alpha helical bundles. The protein is found in the plasma and regulates red cell production by promoting erythroid differentiation and initiating hemoglobin synthesis. This protein also has neuroprotective activity against a variety of potential brain injuries and antiapoptotic functions in several tissue types. It is produced by kidney or liver of adult mammals and by liver of fetal or neonatal mammals.
  • Cellular localization

Question

Would you be able to let me know the biological activity of the current batch of this and also whether it is in stock?
Additionally, is this the correct EPO version if wanting to administer it to mice via intra-peritoneal injection to assess neurogenesis?
I actually need 31 500IU of EPO so I'm not sure if the 10ug size will be enough?

Answer


The quality control criteria for bioactivity of EPO is actually no less than 1.5x10e5 IU/mg.
So If customer need 31,500 IU totally, around 210ug is required. Our recommendation is to order 5 vials x50ug to have some safety margin for this case.
EPO product ab155618 is ready for any in vivo experiments as an active protein.
We believe that EPO has been injected successfully to mice via various methods, including intra-peritoneal injection, but we are not sure if neurogenesis will occur as expected.
