Bioactivity
(Epidermal growth factor (EGF) is a growth factor that stimulates cell growth, proliferation, and differentiation by binding to its receptor EGFR. To test the effect of EGF on cell proliferation of 3T3 fibroblasts, Balb/c 3T3 cells were seeded into triplicate wells of 96-well plates and allowed to attach overnight, then the medium was replaced with various concentrations of recombinant human EGF. After incubated for 48h, cells were observed by inverted microscope and cell proliferation was measured by Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8). Briefly, 10 ul of CCK-8 solution was added to each well of the plate, then measure the absorbance at 450 nm using a microplate reader after incubating the plate for 1-4 hours at 37 degree C. Cell proliferation of Balb/c 3T3 cells after incubation with rhEGF for 48h observed by inverted microscope was shown in Figure 1. The dose-effect curve of rhEGF was shown in Figure2. It was obvious that rhEGF significantly promoted cell proliferation of 3T3 cells. The ED50 for this effect is typically 3.9 ng/ml.)

Product Notes
The EGF egf (Catalog #AAA161747) is an Active Protein produced from E Coli and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. AAA Biotech's Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Activity Assay, Cell Culture. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the EGF egf for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. The amino acid sequence is listed below: Asn971~Arg 1023. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF), Active Protein" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
