Name : Cynomolgus MD2 Protein

Product Source :
Recombinant Cynomolgus MD2 Protein is expressed from E.coli with His tag at the C-Terminus. It contains Gln19-Asn160.[Accession | B3Y6B0]

Molecular Weight :
The protein has a predicted MW of 17.97 kDa same as Tris-Bis PAGE result.

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

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

Formulation :
Lyophilized from 0.22μm filtered solution in 4mM HCL. 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 4mM HCL.

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 Cynomolgus MD2 on Tris-Bis PAGE under reduced condition. The purity is greater than 95%.

Background :
MD2, a 160-residue accessory glycoprotein, is responsible for the recognition and binding of Gram-negative bacterial membrane component, lipopolysaccharide (LPS).Internalization of pathogen inside the mononuclear phagocytes has also been attributed to MD2 which leads to the clearance of pathogens from the host.

Synonyms :
Lymphocyte antigen 96; LY96; ESOP1; ESOP-1; MD-2;
