  • Bovine GM-CSF (catalog RP0871B) is a yeast-derived cytokine supplied lyophilized without carrier protein in 10% trehalose; it has no affinity tags and is naturally endotoxin-free, and should be reconstituted in sterile PBS that contains at least 0.1% carrier protein. The protein is ~14.3 kDa, 126 amino acids long (full sequence provided), and >98% pure by SDS-PAGE, with 100% amino-acid homology to cattle. Store at -20°C (stable up to twelve months from date of receipt; working aliquots with carrier protein stable ~3 months) and avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles. Product origin is the USA. It is commonly used to study GM-CSF signaling and myeloid-cell biology (including proliferation, differentiation, and survival); typical experimental uses include cell-culture stimulation and dosing studies, proliferation and differentiation assays, ELISA and neutralization assays, flow-cytometry and Western blot controls, and antibody generation/validation.

  • Bovine GM-CSF (Granulocyte-Macrophage Colony-Stimulating Factor, CSF2) is a hematopoietic cytokine belonging to the colony-stimulating factor family, which also includes G-CSF (CSF3) and M-CSF (CSF1) that regulate the development, proliferation, and activation of myeloid immune cells. In cattle (Bos taurus), GM-CSF is produced by activated T lymphocytes, macrophages, endothelial cells, fibroblasts, and other stromal cells in response to infection, inflammatory cytokines, or immune stimulation. Bovine GM-CSF binds to the GM-CSF receptor (CSF2R) expressed on hematopoietic progenitor cells and mature myeloid cells, activating intracellular signaling pathways such as JAK/STAT, MAPK/ERK, and PI3K-AKT, which promote the proliferation and differentiation of granulocytes, macrophages, and dendritic cells, as well as enhance their functional activity in innate and adaptive immune responses. In bovine health, GM-CSF contributes to host defense against bacterial infections, particularly by regulating macrophage and neutrophil activity in tissues such as the mammary gland and respiratory tract. Bovine GM-CSF has also been studied in animal models of bovine tuberculosis caused by Mycobacterium bovis, where GM-CSF influences macrophage activation and antigen-presenting cell development, helping researchers understand cell-mediated immunity and vaccine responses to mycobacterial infections relevant to both livestock health and human tuberculosis research.
