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: CXCL2/GRO beta/MIP-2/CINC-3
Cytokine-induced neutrophil chemoattractant 3 (CINC-3) has been found to be expressed by cytokine-stimulated rat alveolar macrophages and fibroblasts. Based on its protein and DNA sequences, CINC-3 (also known as rat MIP-2, GRO beta and CXCL2) is a member of the alpha (CXC) subfamily of chemokines.
CINC-3 cDNA encodes a 100 amino acid (aa) residue precursor protein with a 31 aa signal peptide that is cleaved to yield a 69 aa mature secreted protein. The protein sequence of rat CINC-3 shares approximately 88% identity with murine MIP-2. Characteristic of ELR containing CXC chemokines, CINC-3 is known to be a potent chemotactic factor for rat neutrophils in vitro and in vivo. On the basis of cross-desensitization results of the various CINC proteins, it has been postulated that rat neutrophils have at least two classes of CINC receptors: a class of CINC-3 specific receptors as well as a second common receptor shared by all CINCs.
