Introduction:
Basic fibroblast growth factor is a member of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family. FGF family members possess broad mitogenic and cell survival activities, and are involved in a variety of biological processes, including embryonic development, cell growth, morphogenesis, tissue repair, tumor growth and invasion. This protein functions as a modifier of endothelial cell migration and proliferation, as well as an angiogenic factor. It acts as a mitogen for a variety of mesoderm- and neuroectoderm-derived cells in vitro, thus is thought to be involved in organogenesis. Three alternatively spliced variants encoding different isoforms have been described. The heparin-binding growth factors are angiogenic agents in vivo and are potent mitogens for a variety of cell types in vitro. There are differences in the tissue distribution and concentration of these 2 growth factors.

Description:
Fibroblast Growth Factor-2 Human Recombinant (FGF-2) produced in Sf9 insect cells is a single, glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 155 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 17353 Dalton.
The FGF-basic is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Source:
Baculovirus.

Physical Appearance:
Sterile Filtered liquid formulation.

Formulation:
The sterile protein solution (0.5mg/ml) contains 20mM Tris pH=7.9, 100mM KCl, 1mM DTT and 20% glycerol.

Stability:
Fibroblast Growth Factor-basic although stable at 4°C for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C.
For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).
Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.

Purity:
Greater than 98.0% as determined by:
(a) Analysis by RP-HPLC.
(b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE.

Amino acid sequence:
The sequence of the first five N-terminal amino acids was determined and was found to be Ala-Ala-Gly-Ser-Ile.

Biological Activity:
The ED50, calculated by the dose-dependant proliferation of BAF3 cells expressing FGF receptors (measured by ³H-thymidine uptake) is <0.5 ng/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of 2 x 10⁶ Units/mg.

Protein content:
Protein quantitation was carried out by two independent methods:

1. UV spectroscopy at 280 nm using the absorbency value of 0.8511 as the extinction coefficient for a 0.1% (1mg/ml) solution. This value is calculated by the PC GENE computer analysis program of protein sequences (IntelliGenetics).

2. Analysis by RP-HPLC, using a calibrated solution of Fibroblast Growth Factor-b as a Reference Standard.
