Product Datasheets
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: Neutrophil Elastase/ELA2
Neutrophil Elastase (ELA2), also known as polymorphonuclear leukocyte elastase, is a serine protease belonging to the chymotrypsin family. Located primarily in the azurophil granules of polymorphonuclear leukocytes, ELA2 function is the degradation of many extracellular matrix macromolecules (1, 2). alpha -1 Antitrypsin (Serpin A1) and secretory leukocyte protease inhibitor (SLPI) have been shown to inhibit ELA2 activity (3). This protein may be involved in lung emphysema, cystic fibrosis, the adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), rheumatoid arthritis, tumor invasion and infectious diseases (1). The purified rmELA2 does not contain the last five amino acid residues of the deduced amino acid sequence (NP_056594).
