Name : Human CTLA-4/CD152 Protein
Product Source :
Recombinant Human CTLA-4/CD152 Protein is expressed from HEK293 with hFc tag at the C-Terminus. It contains Lys36-Asp161.[Accession | P16410-1]
Molecular Weight :
The protein has a predicted MW of 40.1 kDa. Due to glycosylation, the protein migrates to 50-55 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 CTLA-4 on Tris-Bis PAGE under reduced condition. The purity is greater than 95%. SEC-HPLC The purity of Human CTLA-4 is greater than 95% as determined by SEC-HPLC. ELISA Data Immobilized Human B7-2, His Tag at 0.5μg/ml (100μl/Well) on the plate. Dose response curve for Human CTLA-4, hFc Tag with the EC50 of 0.12μg/ml determined by ELISA (QC Test). SPR Data Human B7-1, His Tag captured on CM5 Chip via Anti-His Antibody can bind Human CTLA-4, hFc Tag with an affinity constant of 1.1nM as determined in SPR assay (Biacore T200).
Background :
CTLA-4 (cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4), also known as CD152, is a protein receptor that, functioning as an immune checkpoint, downregulates immune responses.CTLA4 is constitutively expressed in regulatory T cells but only upregulated in conventional T cells after activation – a phenomenon which is particularly notable in cancers. It acts as an “off” switch when bound to CD80 or CD86 on the surface of antigen-presenting cells.
Synonyms :
CTLA4; CD152; ICOS; CELIAC3; GRD4; GSE; ALPS5; IDDM12
