GM-CSF was initially isolated from mouse lung cell-conditioned media as a small glycoprotein which is able to generate both macrophage and granulocyte colonies from mouse bone marrow precursor cells. GM-CSF binds specifically to its heterodimer receptor, composed of a cytokine-specific α-chain (GM-CSF receptor α chain, GMRα) and β-chain (βc), which is shared with the receptors for IL-3 and IL-5. GM-CSFRα binds with low affinity to GM-CSF while the αβ heterodimeric complex facilitates a stable interaction with high affinity. Mouse GM-CSFRα is a single type I membrane protein of 387 amino acids with less than 35% homology to the human counterpart. Analysis of GM-CSFRα expression in cell populations in peripheral blood showed that all populations of granulocytes and monocytes express this receptor. Soluble form of GM-CSFRα has been described as the result of alternative splicing or metalloproteinase activity. Thus, the soluble receptor was identified in medium conditioned by human myeloid leukemia cell lines like U937, THP-1, in normal human granulocytes, and in normal human plasma. Stimulation of monocytes with GM-CSF, LPS, PMA, and the calcium ionophore A23187 rapidly up-regulates the secretion of soluble GM-CSFRα through ectodomain shedding of cell surface receptor. The soluble receptor lacks the transmembrane domain and is able to antagonize GM-CSF binding and function.

Related FAQs
- Do you guarantee that your antibodies are totally pathogen free?
-
BioLegend does not test for pathogens in-house aside from the GoInVivo™ product line. However, upon request, this can be tested on a custom basis with an outside, independent laboratory.
- Does BioLegend test each Ultra-LEAF™ antibody by functional assay?
-
No, BioLegend does not test Ultra-LEAF™ antibodies by functional assays unless otherwise indicated. Due to the possible complexities and variations of uses of biofunctional antibodies in different assays and because of the large product portfolio, BioLegend does not currently perform functional assays as a routine QC for the antibodies. However, we do provide references in which the antibodies were used for functional assays and we do perform QC to verify the specificity and quality of the antibody based on our strict specification criteria.
- Does BioLegend test each Ultra-LEAF™ antibody for potential pathogens?
-
No, BioLegend does not test for pathogens in-house unless otherwise indicated. However, we can recommend an outside vendor to perform this testing as needed.
- Have you tested this Ultra-LEAF™ antibody for in vivo or in vitro applications?
-
We don't test our antibodies for in vivo or in vitro applications unless otherwise indicated. Depending on the product, the TDS may describe literature supporting usage of a particular product for bioassay. It may be best to further consult the literature to find clone specific information.
