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: IL-22

Interleukin-22 (IL-22), also known as IL-10-related T cell-derived inducible factor (IL-TIF), was initially identified as a gene induced by IL-9 in mouse T cells and mast cells. It belongs to the IL-10-related cytokine family that consists of six members (IL-10, IL-19, IL-20, IL-22, IL-24/MDA-7, and IL-26/AK155). These proteins share structural homology and some degree of amino acid sequence homology to IL-10. Receptors for these proteins are members of the class II cytokine receptor family (1). The rat IL-22 coding region corresponding to amino acids 48 - 179 was deduced from a rat genomic clone (Genbank accession numaber AC111483). The N-terminal portion was cloned from rat adipocyte first strands using degenerate forward primers based on the human and mouse IL-22 amino acid sequences in two independent PCR reactions (2). Rat IL-22 cDNA predicts a 179 amino acid (aa) residue precursor protein with a putative 33 aa signal peptide that is cleaved to generate a 147 aa mature protein, which shares approximately 92% and 79% aa sequence identity with mouse and human IL-22, respectively. IL-22 signals through a heterodimeric receptor complex composed of the IL-22R (CRF2-9) subunit and the ( chain of IL-10R (CRF2-4). In addition, IL-22 also binds to a secreted member of the class II cytokine receptor family called IL-22BP that acts as a natural IL-22 antagonist. IL-22 upregulates acute-phase reactants in the liver and hepatoma cells. In a rat hepatoma cell line, IL-22 has been shown to activate the Jak/STAT and MAPK signaling pathways (3).
