Scientific Data Images for Rat GM-CSF Antibody (83308)

Cell Proliferation Induced by GM‑CSF and Neutralization by Rat GM‑CSF Antibody.

Cell Proliferation Induced by GM‑CSF and Neutralization by Rat GM‑CSF Antibody.

Recombinant Rat GM-CSF (Catalog # 518-GM) stimulates proliferation in the DA3 mouse myeloma cell line in a dose-dependent manner (orange line). Proliferation elicited by Recombinant Rat GM-CSF (0.5 ng/mL) is neutralized (green line) by increasing concentrations of Rat GM-CSF Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB5181). The ND50 is typically 1-4 µg/mL.
GM-CSF antibody in Rat Splenocytes by Immunocytochemistry (ICC).

GM‑CSF in Rat Splenocytes.

GM-CSF was detected in immersion fixed rat splenocytes using Rat GM-CSF Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB5181) at 25 µg/mL for 3 hours at room temperature. Cells were stained using the NorthernLights™ 557-conjugated Anti-Mouse IgG Secondary Antibody (red; Catalog # NL007) and counterstained with DAPI (blue). Specific staining was localized to cytoplasm.

Background: GM-CSF

GM-CSF was initially characterized as a factor that can support the in vitro colony formation of granulocyte-macrophage progenitors. It is also a growth factor for erythroid, megakaryocyte, and eosinophil progenitors. GM-CSF is produced by a number of different cell types (including T cells, B cells, macrophages, mast cells, endothelial cells, fibroblasts, and adipocytes) in response to cytokine or inflammatory stimuli. On mature hematopoietic cells, GM-CSF is a survival factor for and activates the effector functions of granulocytes, monocytes/macrophages, and eosinophils (1, 2). GM-CSF promotes a Th1 biased immune response, angiogenesis, allergic inflammation, and the development of autoimmunity (3‑5). It shows clinical effectiveness in ameliorating chemotherapy-induced neutropenia, and GM-CSF transfected tumor cells are utilized as cancer vaccines (6, 7). The 22 kDa glycosylated GM-CSF, similar to IL‑3 and IL‑5, is a cytokine with a core of four bundled alpha ‑helices (8‑10). Mature rat GM-CSF shares 56%‑69% amino acid sequence identity with canine, feline, human, mouse, and porcine GM‑CSF. GM‑CSF exerts its biological effects through a heterodimeric receptor complex composed of GM‑CSF R alpha /CD116 and the signal transducing common beta chain (CD131) which is also a component of the high-affinity receptors for IL-3 and IL-5 (11, 12). In addition, GM-CSF binds a naturally occurring soluble form of GM‑CSF R alpha (13). Rat GM‑CSF is active on mouse cells, although mouse GM‑CSF is only weakly active on rat cells (14, 15).
