> 95% by SDS-PAGE and HPLC analyses. |
| Biological Activity: |
Fully biologically active when compared to standard. The ED50 as determined by a cell proliferation assay using rat C6 cells is less than 0.5 μg/mL, corresponding to a specific activity of > 2000 IU/mg. |
| Physical Appearance: |
Sterile filtered white lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder. |
| Formulation: |
Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered concentrated solution in PBS, pH7.4. |
| Endotoxin: |
Less than 1 EU/μg of rHuNeuroserpin as determined by LAL method. |
| Reconstitution: |
We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Reconstitute in sterile distilled water or aqueous buffer containing 0.1% BSA to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL. Stock solutions should be apportioned into working aliquots and stored at ≤ -20°C. Further dilutions should be made in appropriate buffered solutions. |
| Stability & Storage: |
Use a manual defrost freezer and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
12 months from date of receipt, -20 to -70°C as supplied.
1 month, 2 to 8°C under sterile conditions after reconstitution.
3 months, -20 to -70°C under sterile conditions after reconstitution. |

Peptidase Inhibitor 12, PI-12, Serpin I1, NSP |
| Background: |
Neuroserpin, encoded by the SERPINI1 gene in humans, belongs to the serine proteinase inhibitor (serpin) family. It exhibits a strong affinity for tissue-type plasminogen activator (tPA). Neuroserpin is predominantly expressed in the central nervous system (CNS), induced by neuronal depolarization, and plays a crucial role in synaptic plasticity. Mutations in neuroserpin lead to an autosomal dominant form of inherited dementia characterized by intraneuronal inclusion bodies, known as familial encephalopathy with neuroserpin inclusion bodies. |
