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: CXCL10/IP-10/CRG-2
The gene for CRG-2, a mouse homolog of human IP-10, was originally identified as an immediate early gene induced in response to macrophage activation. It has since been shown that CRG-2 mRNA is induced by alpha/ beta/ gamma-interferons and by lipopolysaccharide in macrophages, astrocytes and microglia. Human IP-10 was also shown to be expressed in activated T-lymphocytes, splenocytes, keratinocytes, osteoblasts, astrocytes, and smooth muscle cells. Mouse CRG-2 cDNA encodes a 98 amino acid (aa) residue precursor protein with a 21 aa residue signal peptide that is cleaved to form the 77 aa residue secreted mature protein. Mature CRG-2 shares approximately 67% amino acid sequence identity with human IP-10. The amino acid sequence of CRG-2 identified the protein as a member of the chemokine alpha subfamily that lacks the ELR domain. CRG-2 has been shown to be a chemoattractant for activated T-lymphocytes. Recently, human IP-10 has also been reported to be a potent inhibitor of angiogenesis and to display a potent thymus-dependent anti-tumor effect. A chemokine receptor specific for IP-10 and MIG (CXCR3) has been cloned and shown to be highly expressed in IL-2-activated T-lymphocytes.
