Carrier Free
CF stands for Carrier Free (CF). We typically add Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) as a carrier protein to our recombinant proteins. Adding a carrier protein enhances protein stability, increases shelf-life, and allows the recombinant protein to be stored at a more dilute concentration. The carrier free version does not contain BSA.
In general, we advise purchasing the recombinant protein with BSA for use in cell or tissue culture, or as an ELISA standard. In contrast, the carrier free protein is recommended for applications, in which the presence of BSA could interfere.

Scientific Data

The bioactivity of Recombinant Human FGF basic Heat Stable GMP Protein (Catalog # BT-FGFBHS-GMP) was measured in a cell proliferation assay using NR6R-3T3 mouse fibroblast cell line. The ED50 for this effect is 0.0500-0.600 ng/mL. Three independent lots were tested for bioactivity and plotted on the same graph to show lot-to-lot consistency of GMP FGF basic/FGF2 Heat Stabile protein.

Human iPSCs were cultured for four passages in a commercial iPSC Expansion media containing 40 ng/mL of either rhFGFb Heat Stable (BT-FGFBHS) or wild type rhFGFb, Animal-Free (BT-FGFB-AFL). Media exchanges were performed following two feeding schedules. A). a daily feed schedule or B). a reduced feed schedule, where cells were double fed twice per week. Cells were plated at 5000 cells/cm2in a 6-well dish coated with Cultrex Ultimatrix (BME001). For each schedule, all conditions were passaged once either group reached ~60-70% confluency and counts were performed using a Cellaca™ High-Throughput Cell Counter. Count of each passage is shown comparing WT vs HS FGFb in both the A) daily feed or B) reduced feed schedule.

Human iPSCs were cultured for four passages in a commercial iPSC Expansion media containing 100 ng/mL of either rhFGFb Heat Stable (BT-FGFBHS) or wild type rhFGFb, Animal-Free (BT-FGFB-AFL). Media exchanges were performed following a reduced feed schedule, where cells were double fed twice per week. Cells were plated at 5000 cells/cm2 in a 6-well dish coated with Cultrex Ultimatrix (BME001-05). Cells were passaged at ~60-70% confluency and counts were performed using a Cellaca™ High-Throughput Cell Counter. Count of each passage is shown comparing WT vs HS FGFb.

Background: FGF basic/FGF2/bFGF
FGF basic (also known as FGF-2 and HBGF-2) is an 18-34 kDa, heparin-binding member of the FGF superfamily of molecules. As a growth factor, FGF basic is expressed in a variety of cell types and involved in the regulation of cell proliferation, differentiation, migration and survival. FGF basic promotes self-renewal and upregulates pluripotency markers such as Oct4, Sox2 and Nanog, making it well-known for maintenance of pluripotency in embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). These functions make FGF basic an important cell culture supplement in stem cell applications for regenerative medicine and clinical manufacturing protocols.
