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: IFN-gamma R1/CD119
The high-affinity IFN-gamma receptor complex is made up of two type I membrane proteins, IFN-gamma R1 (IFN‑ gamma R alpha) and IFN-gamma R2 (IFN-gamma R beta). Both proteins are members of the type II cytokine receptor family and share approximately 52% overall sequence identity. IFN-gamma R1 is the ligand-binding subunit that is necessary and sufficient for IFN-gamma binding and receptor internalization. IFN-gamma R2 is required for IFN‑ gamma signaling but does not bind IFN-gamma by itself. Human IFN-gamma R1 cDNA encodes a 499 amino acid (aa) residue protein with a 17 aa signal peptide, a 228 aa extracellular domain, a 23 aa transmembrane domain, and a 221 aa intracellular domain. Human and mouse IFN-gamma R1 share 52% amino acid sequence similarity and bind IFN-gamma in a species‑specific manner. IFN-gamma R1 is constitutively expressed in most cell types. Soluble IFN-gamma R1 that binds IFN-gamma has been detected in biological fluids. The recombinant soluble IFN-gamma R1 produced at R&D Systems has been shown to bind IFN-gamma with high affinity and is a potent IFN-gamma antagonist.
