Growth Factors for Excellent Cultures

Quality Counts
Cells are the foundation of Cell Based Assays. We provide High Quality Growth Factors to insure your success.  Here's a sampling of the categories available:

Angiogenic Growth Factors
Bone Morphogenetic Proteins (BMPs)
Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factors (BDNFs)
Ephs/Ephrins
Epidermal Growth Factors (EGFs)
Fibroblast Growth Factors (FGFs) 
Hematopoietic Cell Growth Factors 
Hepatocyte Growth Factors 
Insulin-Like Growth Factors (IGFs)
Neuron-Glial Expressed
Platelet Derived Growth Factors (PDGFs)
Transforming Growth Factors (TGFs)
Vascular Endothelial Growth Factors (VEGFs)

Images: GFP+ mMN Mouse Motor Neurons. Protocol includes addition of  Neuromics' Bioactive GDNF Recombinant Protein to media for expansion/differentiation.
We will continue to add new pubs and data on these as they become available.

Sensitive, Specific and Cost Effective Protein Expression Analysis

Reaching for Cell Based Assay Solutions Excellence

We have been receiving positive feedback from clients using our Quantibody® and RayBio® C-Series Membrane-Based Antibody Arrays. Our manufacturing partner, Raybiotech, is ISO 9000 certified insuring all arrays are made to exacting specification. The cost for measuring a single cytokine runs as low as 16 USD/Cytokine!

We use these arrays to test the blood serum of clients with autoimmune diseases to determine levels of cytokine and growth factor expression vs healthy controls. We also use them to determine proteins secreted by our  USB Derived hMSCs cultured in our hMSC Media. This gives us insight as to the protein expression patterns in our hMSC, Chondrogenesis and Osteogenesis Assays.

Figure: The graph shows cytokine secretion of hMSCs after a continuous 24 day culture. These results were obtained using our select markers from our cytokine and bone metabolism arrays. Data courtesy of Dr. Jim Musick and Tiana Tonrey, Vitro Biopharma.

We are pleased to announce the addition of these new human and mouse arrays:

Mouse C-Series Cytokine Array. C1-2-Semi-quantitavely measures: GCSF,GM-CSF, IL-2, IL-3, IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-6, IL-9, IL-10, IL-12 p40/p70, IL-12 p70, IL-13, IL-17A, IFN-gamma, MCP-1 (CCL2), MCP-5, RANTES (CCL5), SCF, TNF RI (TNFRSF1A), TNF alpha, Thrombopoietin, (TPO) and VEGF-A.

Images: Representative images obtained with RayBio® C-Series Antibody Arrays. These membranes were probed with conditioned media from two different cell lines. Membranes were exposed with Kodak X-Omat® film at room temperature for 1 minute. Note the strong signals of the Positive Control spots in the upper left and lower right corners.
