Name : Human 2B4/CD244/SLAMF4 Protein

Product Source :
Recombinant Human 2B4/CD244/SLAMF4 Protein is expressed from HEK293 with His tag at the C-Terminus. It contains Cys22-Arg221.[Accession | Q9BZW8-2]

Molecular Weight :
The protein has a predicted MW of 23.1 kDa. Due to glycosylation, the protein migrates to 45-70 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 2B4 on Tris-Bis PAGE under reduced condition. The purity is greater than 95%. SEC-HPLC The purity of Human 2B4 is greater than 95% as determined by SEC-HPLC. ELISA Data Immobilized Human 2B4, His Tag at 1μg/ml (100μl/well) on the plate. Dose response curve for Human CD48, hFc Tag with the EC50 of 0.34μg/ml determined by ELISA.

Background :
2B4 (CD244) is expressed by memory-phenotype CD8 T cells and all natural killer (NK) cells. The ligand for 2B4, CD48, is expressed on hematopoietic cells. 2B4 is conserved in humans and mice, and a number of reports have linked 2B4 with activation of lymphocytes.Engagement of 2B4 on NK cell surfaces with specific antibodies or CD48 can trigger cell mediated cytotoxicity, interferon γ secretion, phosphoinositol turnover and NK cell invasiveness.

Synonyms :
2B4; CD244 antigen; CD244; h2B4; NAIL; NKR2B4; Nmrk; SLAMF4
