Name : Human B2M/beta 2-Microglobulin Protein

Product Source :
Recombinant Human B2M/beta 2-Microglobulin Protein is expressed from HEK293 with His tag at the C-Terminus. It contains Ile21-Met119.[Accession | P61769-1]

Molecular Weight :
The protein has a predicted MW of 12.8 kDa. Due to glycosylation, the protein migrates to 13-15 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 B2M on Tris-Bis PAGE under reduced condition. The purity is greater than 95%. SEC-HPLC The purity of Human B2M is greater than 95% as determined by SEC-HPLC.

Background :
The genetic and functional analysis of β2-microglobulin (B2M), a component of the HLA class-I complex.Acquired homozygous loss of B2M that caused lack of cell-surface HLA Class I expression in the tumor and a matched patient-derived xenograft (PDX). Downregulation of B2M was also found in two additional PDXs established from ICI-resistant tumors.

Synonyms :
Beta-2-microglobulin;B2M;β-2-microglobulin
