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: CCL19/MIP-3 beta
CCL19/MIP-3 beta, also known as ELC (EBI1-Ligand Chemokine), is a reported beta chemokine that binds specifically to the chemokine receptor CCR‑7/EBI‑1/BLR‑2. Mouse (human) MIP-3 beta cDNA encodes a 108 (98) amino acid residue precursor protein with a predicted 25 (21) aa residue signal peptide that is cleaved to form the 83 (77) aa residue mature secreted protein. MIP-3 beta is distantly related to other beta chemokines (20 - 30% aa sequence identity). Mouse MIP-3 beta shares 83% aa sequence homology with human MIP-3 beta. MIP-3 beta has been shown to be constitutively expressed in various lymphoid tissues (including thymus, lymph nodes, appendix, and spleen) in dendritic cells within the T-cell zone. The expression of MIP-3 beta is down‑regulated by the anti‑inflammatory cytokine IL‑10. Recombinant MIP-3 beta has been shown to be chemotactic for T cells and B cells. The MIP-3 beta receptor (CCR-7/EBI-1/BLR-2) is expressed in various lymphoid tissues and activated B and T lymphocytes. CCR-7 is also strongly up-regulated in B cells infected with Epstein-Barr virus and T cells infected with herpesvirus 6 or 7.
