Name : Human GITR Ligand/TNFSF18 Trimer Protein

Product Source :
Recombinant Human GITR Ligand/TNFSF18 Trimer Protein is expressed from HEK293 with monomeric hFc tag at the N-Terminus. It contains Gln50-Ser177.[Accession | Q9UNG2]

Molecular Weight :
The protein has a predicted MW of 70.2 kDa. Due to glycosylation, the protein migrates to 75-85 kDa based on Tris-Bis PAGE result.

Endotoxin Level :
Less than 1EU per μg by the LAL method.

Purity :
> 95% as determined by Tris-Bis PAGE> 95% as determined by HPLC

Formulation :
Lyophilized from 0.22μm filtered solution in PBS (pH 7.4). Normally 8% trehalose is added as protectant before lyophilization.

Reconstitution :
Centrifuge the tube before opening. Reconstituting to a concentration more than 100 μg/ml is recommended. Dissolve the lyophilized protein in distilled water.

Storage and Stability :
-20 to -80°C for 12 months as supplied from date of receipt. -80°C for 3-6 months after reconstitution. 2-8°C for 2-7 days after reconstitution. Recommend to aliquot the protein into smaller quantities for optimal storage. Please minimize freeze-thaw cycles.

Product Concentration :
Tris-Bis PAGE Human GITR Ligand (Trimer) on Tris-Bis PAGE under reduced condition. The purity is greater than 95%. SEC-HPLC The purity of Human GITR Ligand (Trimer) is greater than 95% as determined by SEC-HPLC. SPR Data Human GITR, His Tag captured on CM5 Chip via Anti-his antibody can bind Human GITR Ligand Trimer, hFc Tag with an affinity constant of 4.47 nM as determined in SPR assay (Biacore T200).

Background :
Glucocorticoid-induced TNFR-related protein (TNFRSF18, GITR, CD357), expressed by T cells, and its ligand (TNFSF18, GITRL), expressed by myeloid populations, provide co-stimulatory signals that boost T cell activity. Due to the important role that GITR plays in regulating immune functions, agonistic stimulation of GITR is a promising therapeutic concept.

Synonyms :
TNFSF18; AITRL; TL6; GITRL; GITR Ligand
