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: Integrin alpha L beta 2
Integrin alpha L beta 2, also called LFA-1, is one of three beta 2 integrin adhesion proteins. The non-covalent heterodimer of 180 kDa alpha L/CD11a and 95 kDa beta 2/CD18 integrin subunits is expressed on virtually all leukocytes (1-3). The ligand binding site of LFA-1 is in the N-terminal head region, formed by an interaction of the vWFA (I, I‑like) domains from each subunit, and the alpha L beta-propeller structure (3-5). The alpha L subunit contains domains termed thigh, calf-1 and calf-2, while the beta 2 subunit contains a PSI (plexin-semaphorin-integrin) region and four cysteine-rich I-EGF folds (5, 6). Each subunit has a transmembrane sequence and a short cytoplasmic tail connected to the cytoskeleton. Upon activation by “inside-out” signaling, clustering, or Mg2+ or Mn2+ binding to metal ion-dependent adhesion sites (MIDAS) within the vWFA domains, the molecule unfolds from its inactive, “closed” conformation to expose ligand binding sites (3, 6-9). Active alpha L beta 2 binds ICAM-1/CD54, ICAM-2, ICAM‑3 and JAM‑A (1, 10-12). The adhesion stabilizes interactions between T cells and antigen-presenting cells, decreases the T cell activation threshold, and facilitates leukocyte transendothelial migration to sites of inflammation (12-14). A constitutively active construct severely impairs immune responses, demonstrating that both activation and de-activation are important (14). Mutations of beta 2, especially in the vWFA domain, cause leukocyte adhesion deficiency (LAD-1) and susceptibility to bacterial infections (15). The 1088 amino acid (aa) human alpha L/CD11b ECD is 73-74% aa identical to mouse and rat, and 79-80% aa identical to bovine, porcine, ovine, goat and canine alpha L ECD. A second human alpha L isoform has 53 aa inserted after aa 954 in the ECD. The 678 aa human beta 2/CD18 ECD shares 81-83% aa sequence identity with mouse, rat, bovine, canine, goat, ovine, and porcine beta 2 ECD.
