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: B7-H4
B7-H4, also known as B7x and B7S1, is a 50‑80 kDa glycosylated member of the B7 family of immune co‑stimulatory proteins (1, 2). Mature mouse B7-H4 consists of a 230 amino acid (aa) extracellular domain (ECD) with one Ig-like V-set domain and one Ig‑like C2‑set domain which is followed by a hydrophobic C‑terminal region (3‑5). Within the ECD, mouse B7‑H4 shares 90% and 99% aa sequence identity with human and rat B7‑H4, respectively. It shares 21%‑29% aa sequence identity with mouse B7‑1, B7‑2, B7‑H1, B7‑H2, B7‑H3, and PD‑L2. B7‑H4 is expressed on the surface of activated lymphocytes, macrophages, monocytes, dendritic cells, epithelial cells, and bone marrow‑derived mesenchymal stem cells (4‑8). Its binding to activated T cells dampens T cell responses and induces cell cycle arrest in the T cell (3‑5). Reverse signaling can induce either cell cycle arrest or apoptosis in the B7‑H4 expressing cell (9, 10). B7‑H4 is up‑regulated in several carcinomas in correlation with tumor progression and metastasis (2, 7, 11, 12). A soluble form of B7‑H4 is elevated in the serum of ovarian cancer, renal cell carcinoma, and rheumatoid arthritis patients, also in correlation with advanced disease status (13‑15). Soluble B7‑H4 functions as a decoy molecule that blocks the inhibitory influence of B7‑H4 on immune activation (15). Despite evidence for the involvement of B7‑H4 in immune regulation, mice deficient in its expression do not show significant immune deficiencies, suggesting compensation by other molecules in vivo (16).
