The protein migrates to 15-16 kDa based on Bis-Tris PAGE result. Endotoxin Less than 1EU per μg by the LAL method. Purity > 95% as determined by Bis-Tris PAGE Activity ELISA Data: Immobilized Human GDF15, His Tag at 0.5μg/ml (100μl/well) on the plate. Dose response curve for Human GFRAL, hFc Tag with the EC50 of 11.5ng/ml determined by ELISA. Blocking Data: Serial dilutions of Anti-GDF15 Antibody were added into Human GDF15, His Tag : Biotinylated Human GFRAL, His Tag binding reactioins. The half maximal inhibitiory concentration (IC50) is 40.8ng/ml. SPR Data: Human GFRAL, hFc Tag captured on CM5 Chip via Protein A can bind Human GDF15, His Tag with an affinity constant of 0.014 nM as determined in SPR assay .
