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.

Background: IL-19

Interleukin 19 (IL-19) is a member of the IL-10 family of class II alpha-helical cytokines that contains two groups, a viral homolog and cellular homolog group. Within the cellular homolog group, there are two additional groupings, one which uses IL-10 R beta as a signal transducing receptor (IL-10, IL-22, and IL-26), and one which uses IL-20 R beta as a signal transducing receptor (IL-19, IL-20, and IL-24) (1). The 153 amino acid (aa) mature human IL-19 is secreted as a glycosylated 35-45 kDa monomer (2-4). It shares approximately 70% aa sequence identity with mouse and rat IL-19. Human IL-19 may utilize an alternate start site that adds 38 aa to the N-terminus. Although mouse IL-19 is active on human cells, human IL-19 is not active on mouse cells (2). IL-19 is expressed on activated keratinocytes, monocytes, and B cells (3, 5, 6). It binds a receptor complex consisting of IL-20 R alpha and IL-20 R beta (3, 7, 8). This receptor complex is also shared by IL-20 and IL-24 (9, 10). It has been reported that IL-19 both will and will not induce IL-6 and TNF-alpha production by monocytes (2, 11). It does, however, drive T helper cell differentiation towards a Th2 response, inducing both IL-10 and production of itself (2, 11, 12).
