Catalogue number
CYT-423
Synonyms
CD58, LFA-3, Ag3, Surface glycoprotein LFA-3.
Introduction
LFA-3 is ligand of the t-lymphocyte cd2 glycoprotein. This interaction is important in mediating thymocyte interactions with thymic epithelial cells, antigen-independent and dependent interactions of t-lymphocytes with target cells and antigen- presenting cells and the t-lymphocyte rosetting with erythrocytes. In addition, the lfa-3/cd2 interaction may prime response by both the cd2+ and lfa-3+ cells.
Description
Lymphocyte Function-Associated Antigen-3 Fusion Protein Recombinant Human is produced by recombinant DNA technology in a Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) mammalian cell expression system. The molecular weight is 91.4 kDa.
Recombinant LFA3 is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Source
Chinese Hamster Ovary.
Physical Appearance
Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
Formulation
Each mg of CD58 contains 0.8mg sucrose, 0.3mg glycine, 0.25mg sodium citrate dihydrate, and 4µg citric acid monohydrate.
Solubility
It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized LFA-3 Human in sterile 18MΩ-cm H2O not less than 100µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.
Stability
Lyophilized LFA3 Human although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution Human LFA-3 should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).
Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
Purity
Greater than 98.0% as determined by(a) Analysis by RP-HPLC.
(b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE.
