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: CCL11/Eotaxin
CCL11 is a potent eosinophil chemoattractant that was originally purified from bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of guinea pigs sensitized by aerosol challenge with ovalbumin. Microsequencing of the purified protein revealed the guinea pig CCL11 to be a member of the beta (CC) chemokine family of inflammatory and immunoregulatory cytokines. cDNA clones for guinea pig, mouse and human CCL11 have been isolated. Mouse CCL11 cDNA encodes a 97 amino acid residue precursor protein from which the amino-terminal 23 amino acid residues are cleaved to generate the 74 amino acid residue mature mouse CCL11. At the protein sequence level, mature mouse CCL11 is approximately 60% identical to mature human and guinea pig CCL11. In addition, mouse CCL11 also shows high amino acid sequence identity to members of the MCP family. Mouse CCL11 is chemotactic for eosinophils, but not mononuclear cells or neutrophils. CCL11 mRNA is expressed in a variety of tissues. The expression of CCL11 mRNA is induced in cultured endothelial cells in response to IFN-gamma. In addition, CCL11 mRNA is also induced in response to the transplantation of IL-4-secreting tumor cells. The CC chemokine receptor 3 (CCR3) has now been identified to be a specific human CCL11 receptor.
