Recombinant Human CD58/LFA-3/Lymphocyte function-associated antigen 3

Description :

Recombinant Human Lymphocyte function-associated antigen 3 is produced by our Mammalian expression system and the target gene encoding Phe29-Arg215 is expressed with a 6His tag at the C-terminus.

Formulation :

Lyophilized from a 0.2 米m filtered solution of PBS, pH 7.4.

Purity :

Greater than 95% as determined by reducing SDS-PAGE.

Endotoxin :

Less than 0.1 ng/ug (1 EU/ug) as determined by LAL test.

Reconstitution :

Always centrifuge tubes before opening. Do not mix by vortex or pipetting.It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100 米g/ml.Dissolve the lyophilized protein in distilled water.Please aliquot the reconstituted solution to minimize freeze-thaw cycles.

Storage :

Lyophilized protein should be stored at < -20～C, though stable at room temperature for 3 weeks.Reconstituted protein solution can be stored at 4-7～C for 2-7 days.Aliquots of reconstituted samples are stable at < -20～C for 3 months.

Background :

Lymphocyte function-associated antigen 3 (LFA-3/CD58) is a single-pass type I membrane protein. CD58 is widely expressed on hematopoietic and non-hematopoietic human tissue and has been found on leukocytes, erythrocytes, endothelial cells, epithelial cells and fibroblasts of human origin. It is a Ligand of the T-lymphocyte CD2 glycoprotein. This interaction is important in mediating thymocyte interactions with thymic epithelial cells, antigen-independent and -dependent interactions of T-lymphocytes with target cells and antigen-presenting cells and the T-lymphocyte rosetting with erythrocytes. In addition, the LFA-3/CD2 interaction may prime response by both the CD2+ and LFA-3+ cells.
