Carrier Free
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.
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: KIR2DS4/CD158i
KIR2DS4 (2DS4), previously called NKAT-8 and designated CD158i, is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein that belongs to the killer cell Ig-like receptor (KIR) family (1). KIRs are expressed on CD56dim NK cells and T cell subsets where they differentiate normal from abnormal cells and regulate effector functions in the innate immune system (1-3). KIRs are named for the number of Ig-like domains (2D or 3D) in the extracellular domain (ECD), and whether they have long or short (L, S) cytoplasmic tails. KIR2DS4 cDNA encodes 304 amino acids (aa) including a 21 aa signal sequence, a 224 aa ECD, a 20 aa transmembrane sequence and a 39 aa cytoplasmic domain. KIR receptors have no structural orthologs in nonprimates, although mouse Ly-49 proteins perform similar functions (2). Like other activating KIRs, KIR2DS4 has a short tail and a positively charged amino acid (aa) within the transmembrane domain that interacts with the ITAM-bearing signaling adaptor, DAP12 (2, 3). Expression of activating KIR is balanced with inhibitory KIR to impart specificity to the immune response. KIR2DS4 recognizes six HLA-C allotypes and two HLA-A allotypes (A*1101 and A*1102) but no HLA-B allotypes (4, 5). It has also been suggested that KIR2DS4 recognizes a non-MHC ligand, based on specific binding to melanoma cells that lack MHC Class I (6). A common allele, KIR2DS4*003, is present in up to 89% of Caucasians and ~30% of Asians; it creates a prematurely terminated, soluble, inactive form (7, 8). Lack of functional KIR2DS4 can potentially create unbalanced inhibition of killer cell function (4, 8).
