Recombinant Cynomolgus / Rhesus macaque B7-1 / CD80 Protein, Fc Tag (MALS verified), 100µg

Background
B7-1 and B7-2, together with their receptors CD28 and CTLA­4, constitute one of the dominant co-stimulatory pathways that regulate T­ and B­cell responses. Although both CTLA­4 and CD28 can bind to the same ligands, CTLA­4 binds to B7­1 and B7­2 with a 20 ­ 100 fold higher affinity than CD28 and is involved in the down­regulation of the immune response. B-lymphocyte activation antigen B7-1 (referred to as B7) also known as cluster of Differentiation 80 (CD80), is a member of cell surface immunoglobulin superfamily and is expressed on activated B cells, activated T cells, macrophages and dendritic cells. It is the ligand for two different proteins on the T cell surface: CD28 (for autoregulation and intercellular association) and CTLA-4 (for attenuation of regulation and cellular disassociation). CD80 works in tandem with CD86 to prime T cells. CD80 plays a role in induction of innate immune responses by activating NF-κB-signaling pathway in macrophages. CD80 is thus regarded as promising therapeutic targets for autoimmune diseases and various carcinomas.

Source
Recombinant Cynomolgus / Rhesus macaque B7-1, Fc Tag (CD0-C5252) is expressed from human 293 cells (HEK293). It contains AA Val 35 - Asn 242 (Accession # G7NXN7). In the region Val 35 - Asn 242, the AA sequence of Cynomolgus and Rhesus macaque B7-1 are homologus.
Predicted N-terminus: Val 35

Molecular Characterization
This protein carries a human IgG1 Fc tag at the C-terminus.
The protein has a calculated MW of 50.5 kDa. The protein migrates as 60-90 kDa under reducing (R) condition (SDS-PAGE) due to different glycosylation.

Endotoxin
Less than 1.0 EU per μg by the LAL method.

Purity
>95% as determined by SDS-PAGE.
>90% as determined by SEC-MALS.

Formulation
Lyophilized from 0.22 μm filtered solution in Tris with Glycine, Arginine and NaCl, pH7.5. Normally trehalose is added as protectant before lyophilization.

Reconstitution
See Certificate of Analysis for details of reconstitution instruction and specific concentration.

Storage
