Product Details
MW: | ~45kDa |
|
Source: | Produced in CHO cells. |
|
UniProt ID: | P10810 |
|
Concentration: | 0.25mg/ml after reconstitution. |
|
Formulation: | Lyophilized from PBS, pH 7.2. |
|
Purity: | ≥90-95% (SDS-PAGE) |
|
Purity Detail: | His-tag-affinity purified. |
|
Endotoxin Content: | <0.00015EU/µg protein (LAL test; Charles River). |
|
Biological Activity: | Inhibits binding of LPS to CD14. Up to 5µg/ml mouse CD14 inhibit binding of FITC-LPS (0.5µg/ml) to mouse CD14+ CHO transfectants (FACS). |
|
Reconstitution: | Reconstitute with 40µl sterile, ultra-pure distilled water. This solution can then be diluted with PBS or other buffers. |
|
Shipping: | Dry Ice |
|
Long Term Storage: | -80°C |
|
Use/Stability: | The reconstituted protein should be used immediately or stored in undiluted working aliquots at -20°C. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% BSA). |
|
Handling: | Avoid freeze/thaw cycles. |
|
Scientific Background: | The myeloid differentiation antigen CD14 acts as the major receptor for bacterial LPS. The dominant form of the recombinant wildtype CD14 ist the 50kDa protein. |
|
Regulatory Status: | RUO - Research Use Only |
