Recombinant Human CD55 Protein(Fc tag) (HH0088CL)

Cat.No.

HH0088CL

Synonyms

CD55; CR; CROM; TC; CD55 antigen; DAF;

Accession

CD55

Predicted N Terminal

Asp 35

Form

Lyophilized from sterile PBS, pH 7.4, 5 % trehalose and 5 % mannitol.

Bio-activity

Measured by its binding ability in a functional ELISA. Immobilized recombinant human CD97 at 10 μg/ml (100 μl/well) can bind recombinant human CD55 at a linear range of 0.46-30 μg/ml.

Molecular Mass

Recombinant Human CD55/Fc is a disulfide-linked homodimeric protein. The reduced monomer consists of 557 amino acids and has a predicted molecular mass of 61.7 kDa. In SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions, the apparent molecular mass of rhCD55/Fc monomer is approximately 95-105 kDa due to glycosylation.

Endotoxin

< 1.0 EU per 1 microgram of protein (determined by LAL method).

Purity

> 90 % by SDS-PAGE.

Storage

In lyophilized state for 1 year (4°C); After reconstitution under sterile conditions for 3 months (-70°C). Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.

Reconstitution

Reconstitute in sterile distilled water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL.

Warning

For research use only!

Background

Paracrine hormone primarily responsible for maternal recognition of pregnancy. Interacts with endometrial receptors, probably type I interferon receptors, and blocks estrogen receptor expression, preventing the estrogen-induced increase in oxytocin receptor expression in the endometrium. This results in the suppression of the pulsatile endometrial release of the luteolytic hormone prostaglandin F2-alpha, hindering the regression of the corpus luteum (luteolysis) and therefore a return to ovarian cyclicity. This, and a possible direct effect of IFN-tau on prostaglandin synthesis, leads in turn to continued ovarian progesterone secretion, which stimulates the secretion by the endometrium of the nutrients required for the growth of the conceptus. In summary, displays particularly high antiviral and antiproliferative potency concurrently with particular weak cytotoxicity, high antiluteolytic activity and immunomodulatory properties. In contrast with other IFNs, IFN-tau is not virally inducible.
