Name : Cynomolgus BST2 Protein

Product Source :
Recombinant Cynomolgus BST2 Protein is expressed from HEK293 with His tag at the N-Terminus. It contains Ile49-Ser163.[Accession | XP_005588438.1]

Molecular Weight :
The protein has a predicted MW of 13.78 kDa. Due to glycosylation, the protein migrates to 15-30 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

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 Cynomolgus BST2 on Tris-Bis PAGE under reduced condition. The purity is greater than 95%.

Background :
Interferon-induced BST2 (bone marrow stromal cell antigen 2) inhibits viral replication by tethering enveloped virions to the cell surface to restrict viral release and by inducing the NFKB-dependent antiviral immune response. BST2 expression was significantly increased during porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) infection of Vero cells by IRF1 targeting its promoter. Both the BST2 and N protein interacted with the E3 ubiquitin ligase MARCHF8/MARCH8 and the cargo receptor.

Synonyms :
BST-2; HM1.24 antigen; CD317; BST2; NPC-A-7; PDCA-1; TETHERIN
