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.

Carrier: 481-TK
Formulation Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution in PBS with BSA as a carrier protein.
Reconstitution Reconstitute at 100 μg/mL in sterile PBS containing at least 0.1% human or bovine serum albumin.

Background: CCL25/TECK

CCL25, also known as TECK (thymus-expressed chemokine), is a CC chemokine that regulates the trafficking of lymphocytes in the thymus and small intestine. Mature mouse CCL25 shares 40% and 81% amino acid sequence identity with human and rat CCL25, respectively (1). CCL25 is produced by stromal cells in the thymus and epithelial cells of the small intestine, particularly the jejunum and ileum (1-3). It binds to and induces chemoattraction through CCR9 (1, 4, 5), and both human and mouse proteins act on human CCR9 (4). CCR9 is expressed on immature pre-T cells and thymocytes (5, 6). CCL25 induces the homing of several lymphocyte populations to the small intestine (3), including Integrin alpha4 beta7+ gamma delta T cells (6, 7), Integrin alphaE beta7+ CD8+ T cells (8), and IgA-producing plasma cells (2). In cancer, functional CCR9 mediates the metastasis of melanoma cells to the small intestine (9), contributes to the CCL25-dependent migration and invasion of some breast carcinomas (10), and attracts mesenchymal stromal cells to CCL25-expressing multiple myelomas (11). CCL25 contributes to the severity of chronic inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis where it attracts CCR9+ monocytes and macrophages (12), in endometriosis where it promotes the invasiveness of stromal cells (13), and in atherosclerosis where it contributes to the accumulation of CCR9+ macrophages in arterial plaques (14).
