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.

  5. Incubate reactions at 37 °C for 100 minutes.
  6. Centrifuge reactions in a tabletop microcentrifuge at maximum speed for 5 minutes.
  7. Carefully remove the supernatant from each tube, and discard.
  8. Resuspend each pellet in 200 µL of 100 mM acetic acid. Vortex briefly.
  9. Incubate suspension at room temperature for 15 minutes.
  10. Add 800 µL of deionized water to each tube.

Background: Fetuin A/AHSG

Human Fetuin A, also known as alpha 2-Heremans-Schmid glycoprotein, is encoded by the AHSG gene. It is a major plasma protein and a member of the cystatin superfamily of protease inhibitors (1, 2). It is expressed by hepatocytes, the principal cell source, and by monocyte/macrophages (3). The major form of plasma Fetuin A corresponds to a disulfide bond-linked two chains derived from the single chain (4). Human Fetuin A has a number of functions. It is a negative acute-phase protein with normal circulating levels in adults (300‑600 μg/mL), which fall significantly (30‑50%) during injury and infection (5). It enhances entry of cationic inhibitors into macrophages (6). It inhibits both insulin receptor autophosphorylation and undesirable calcification (6, 7). The purified recombinant human Fetuin A corresponds to the single chain, which can be converted to the two-chain form by recombinant human Furin (Catalog # 1503-SE) in vitro. However, the conversion does not enhance its inhibitory activity against recombinant human Cathpesin V, a cysteine protease.
