    Summary
    We test the biological activity of MGF protein purified by affinity chromatography in C2C12 cell line and find that rhMGF promotes cell proliferation significantly.

Studies that did not test the peptide alone4

In this study, MGF / PEG-MGF was a lab tool or a carrier, part of a mix, or the subject of a lab method. These results are not evidence about taking MGF / PEG-MGF.

    The native human MGF gene gave recombinant human MGF protein in Rosetta (DE3) E. coli but not in BL21 (DE3).

    In plain wordsIn lab bacteria, the natural MGF gene made MGF protein in one E. coli strain but not in another.

    Summary
    In this study, the human MGF gene is cloned into pGEX-4T-1 and the recombinant human MGF (rhMGF) protein could be expressed in Rosetta (DE3) by isopropyl β-D-1-thiogalactopyranoside induction but not in BL21 (DE3).

    In this study, MGF / PEG-MGF was a lab tool or a carrier, part of a mix, or the subject of a lab method. This result is not evidence about taking MGF / PEG-MGF.

  2. 03LabNot a test of MGF / PEG-MGF aloneOther designOther

    BL21 (DE3) cells with the MGF(Mut54-56) or MGF(Mut-total) construct could be induced to express recombinant human MGF protein.

    In plain wordsIn lab bacteria, changing rare codons let the E. coli strain BL21 make MGF protein.

    Summary
    Both pGEX-4T-1/MGF(Mut54-56)- and pGEX-4T-1/MGF(Mut-total)-transformed BL21 (DE3) can be induced to express rhMGF protein.

    In this study, MGF / PEG-MGF was a lab tool or a carrier, part of a mix, or the subject of a lab method. This result is not evidence about taking MGF / PEG-MGF.

    Summary
    Results indicate that rhMGF expression in BL21 (DE3) is significantly higher than that in Rosetta (DE3).

    In this study, MGF / PEG-MGF was a lab tool or a carrier, part of a mix, or the subject of a lab method. This result is not evidence about taking MGF / PEG-MGF.

  4. 05LabNot a test of MGF / PEG-MGF aloneOther designOther

    The protein yield of pGEX-4T-1/MGF(Mut-total) in BL21 (DE3) was higher than that of pGEX-4T-1/MGF(Mut54-56).

    In plain wordsIn lab bacteria, the fully mutated MGF construct gave a higher protein yield than the partly mutated one.
