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.

Assay Procedure

Materials
  • Activation Buffer: 50 mM Tris, 10 mM CaCl2, 150 mM NaCl, 0.05% Brij-35, pH 7.5 (TCNB)
  • Assay Buffer: 50 mM Tris, 1 M NaCl, pH 8.0
  • Recombinant Human Kallikrein 3/PSA (rhKLK3) (Catalog # 1344-SE)
  • Bacterial Thermolysin (Thermolysin) (Catalog # 3097-ZN)
  • 1,10 Phenanthroline (Sigma, Catalog # 320056), 0.6 M stock in DMSO
  • Substrate: Suc-Arg-Pro-Tyr-pNa (AnaSpec, Catalog # 20586), 10 mM in deionized water
  • 96-well Clear Plate (Costar, Catalog # 92592)
  • Plate reader (Model: SpectraMax Plus by Molecular Devices) or equivalent
  1. Dilute rhKLK3 to 200 µg/mL in Activation Buffer.
  2. Dilute Thermolysin to 2 µg/mL in Activation Buffer.
  3. Combine equal volumes of 200 µg/mL rhKLK3 and 2 µg/mL Thermolysin.
  4. Incubate at 37 °C for 5 minutes.
  5. Dilute 1,10 Phenanthroline to 20 mM in Assay Buffer.
  6. Stop Thermolysin activity  by adding 1,10 Phenanthroline to a final concentration of 10 mM.
  7. Dilute activated rhKLK3 to 20 ng/µL in Assay Buffer.
  8. Dilute Substrate to 2 mM in Assay Buffer.
  9. Load 50 µL of the 20 ng/µL rhKLK3 in a plate and start the reaction by adding 50 µL of 2 mM Substrate. Include a Substrate Blank containing 50 µL Assay Buffer and 50 µL of 2 mM Substrate.
  10. Read at a wavelength of 405 nm (bottom read) in kinetic mode for 5 minutes.
  11. Calculate specific activity:

     Specific Activity (pmol/min/µg) =

 Adjusted Vmax* (OD/min) x well volume (L) x 1012 pmol/mol
ext. coeff** (M-1cm-1) x path corr.*** (cm) x amount of enzyme (µg)

     *Adjusted for Substrate Blank 
     **Using the extinction coefficient 8800 M-1cm-1 
     ***Using the path correction 0.32 cm
     Note: the output of many spectrophotometers is in mOD. Per Well:
  • rhKLK3: 1 µg
  • Substrate: 1 mM

Background: Kallikrein 3/PSA

Kallikrein 3, commonly known as prostate specific antigen (PSA), is a serine protease of the human tissue Kallikrein gene family (1). PSA is synthesized in the ductal and acinar epithelium of the prostate gland and secreted into the seminal plasma in high concentrations (0.5 - 2 g/L) (2). A small portion of PSA “leaks” into the systemic circulation, the levels of which increase significantly (30-fold) from prostate cancer tissue than normal prostate tissue (3). PSA has become a well established tumor marker that aids the diagnosis, staging, and follow up of prostate cancer.

The deduced amino acid sequence of human PSA consists of a signal peptide, a short pro region and a mature/active enzyme. The pro-enzyme is activated, possibly by active Kallikreins 2, 4 or 15 in vivo (4). rhPSA is activated by thermolysin, a zinc protease. The active PSA cleaves several tyrosyl peptide bonds in semenogelins I and II, which are the major gel-forming proteins produced by the seminal vesicles (5). Several inhibitors including serpin A3/ alpha 1-antichymotrypsin (ACT) and alpha 2‑macroglobulin are known to form complexes with PSA.
