Formulation, Preparation and Storage
Carrier Free
What does CF mean?CF stands for Carrier Free (CF). We typically add Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) as a carrier protein to our recombinant proteins. Adding a carrier protein enhances protein stability, increases shelf-life, and allows the recombinant protein to be stored at a more dilute concentration. The carrier free version does not contain BSA.
What formulation is right for me?In general, we advise purchasing the recombinant protein with BSA for use in cell or tissue culture, or as an ELISA standard. In contrast, the carrier free protein is recommended for applications, in which the presence of BSA could interfere.
Carrier: 979-MC

Background: CCL2/JE/MCP-1
Fractalkine (also known as neurotactin and CX3CL1) is one of two known transmembrane chemokines and is the only member of the CX3C chemokine subfamily. Fractalkine is a type I membrane protein containing a chemokine domain tethered on a long mucin-like stalk that is connected to a transmembrane domain and a C-terminal intracellular domain. Expression of Fractalkine has been detected on endothelial cells, neurons, dendritic cells and a subset of mononuclear phagocytes. The expression of Fractalkine is upregulated in response to inflammatory signals. Fractalkine binds with high affinity to CX3CR1 and mediates the tight binding of leukocytes expressing CX3CR1 independently of G protein activation under flow conditions. In the MCP-1/mucin-like stalk chimera, the chemokine domain of human Fractalkine is replaced by human MCP-1 (CCL2), a ligand for CCR2.
