MP Biomedicals™ Bovine Pituitary Extract
Filtered Bovine Pituitary Extract for cell culture.
Supplier: MP Biomedicals™ 092850450
Description
- Bovine Pituitary Extract (BPE) is made from fresh, flash-frozen pituitary glands from young, healthy cattle between the ages of 18 to 22 months
- The cattle are born, raised and slaughtered in New Zealand from a USDA approved source
- New Zealand cattle are internationally recognized as free from bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE, mad-cow disease) and have no history of blue tongue disease
- BPE continues to be the most successful of the tissue-sourced extracts to date and allows researchers to study normal primary cell types including stem cells in proliferating cultures
- Formulated at 14 mg/mL crude protein, this aqueous BPE has a full spectrum of mitogens and differentiation factors
- The Bovine Pituitary Extract is not lyophilized, as this process has been shown to reduce biological activity
- For cell culture, the optimal medium supplementation rate is 35 μg/mL BPE based on growth tests on human mammary epithelial cells, epidermal keratinocytes, prostatic and bronchial epithelial cells
- This product has been sterile-filtered prior to shipping
