MLESTKLLAD LKKCGDLECE ALINRVSAMR DYRGPDCRYL NFTKGEEISV YVKLAGERED LWAGSKGKEF GYFPRDAVQI EEVFISEEIQ MSTKESDFLC L

Endotoxin:

Less than 1EU/µg of rHuMIA-2 as determined by LAL method.

Formulation:

Lyophilized from a 0.2µm filtered concentrated solution in 20mM PB, pH 7.4, 150mM NaCl.

Background:

MIA2 is a secreted cytokine and a member of the MIA/OTOR family. Members of this family which also includes MIA, OTOR, and TANGO share a Src homology-3 (SH3)-like domain. MIA2 is predominantly expressed in hepatocytes. Elevated levels of MIA2 may represent a clinically useful marker for diagnosis of hepatic disease activity and severity.

Usage:

This material is offered by USA Bioworld biotech for research, laboratory or further evaluation purposes. NOT FOR HUMAN USE.

Physical Appearance:

Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.

Reconstitution:

We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Reconstitute in sterile distilled water or aqueous buffer containing 0.1% BSA to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL. Stock solutions should be apportioned into working aliquots and stored at <-20°C. Further dilutions should be made in appropriate buffered solutions.

Storage:

This lyophilized preparation is stable at 2-8°C, but should be kept at -20°C for long term storage, preferably desiccated. Upon reconstitution, the preparation is stable for up to one week at 2-8°C. For maximal stability, apportion the reconstituted preparation into working aliquots and store at -20°C to -70°C. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
