Activity
1. Measured by its binding ability in a functional ELISA. Immobilized rat CNTF (Cat: 500106) at 10 μg/ml (100 μl/well) can bind biotinylated rat CNTFR-His (aa 1-346) (Cat: 501299) with a linear range of 1.56-50.0 ng/ml.
2. Measured in a cell proliferation assay using TF-1 human erythroleukemic cells. The ED50 for this effect is typically 10-40 ng/ml. -
