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.

Background: Thrombopoietin/Tpo

Thrombopoietin (Tpo), is a key regulator of megakaryocytopoiesis and thrombopoiesis. It is principally produced in the liver and is bound and internalized by the receptor Tpo R/c-mpl. Defects in the Tpo-Tpo R signaling pathway are associated with a variety of platelet disorders (1 - 3). The 353 amino acid (aa) human Tpo precursor is cleaved to yield the 332 aa mature protein. Mature human Tpo shares approximately 70% aa sequence homology with mouse and rat Tpo. It is an 80 - 85 kDa protein that consists of an N-terminal domain with homology to Erythropoietin (Epo) and a C-terminal domain that contains multiple N-linked and O-linked glycosylation sites (4, 5). Tissue specific alternate splicing of human Tpo generates multiple isoforms with internal deletions, insertions, and/or C-terminal substitutions (6). Tpo promotes the differentiation, proliferation, and maturation of MK and their progenitors (4, 5, 7). Several other cytokines can promote these functions as well but only in cooperation with Tpo (8, 9). Notably, IL-3 independently induces MK development, although its effects are restricted to early in the MK lineage (8, 9). Tpo additionally promotes platelet production, aggregation, ECM adhesion, and activation (10 - 13). It is cleaved by platelet-derived thrombin following Arg191 within the C-terminal domain and subsequently at other sites upon extended digestion (14). Full length Tpo and shorter forms circulate in the plasma (4, 5). The C terminal domain is not required for binding to Tpo R or inducing MK growth and differentiation (5). Aside from its hematopoietic effects, Tpo is expressed in the brain where it promotes the apoptosis of hypoxia-sensitized neurons and inhibits neuronal differentiation by blocking NGF induced signaling (15, 16).

FAQs

  1. Why do you sell Thrombopoietin protein from two different expression systems?  Under what circumstances would it be preferred to use the NS0-expressed protein?

    • The NS0-expressed protein is necessary for the serum-free megakaryocyte colony stimulating assay (Nadine Weich, Genetics Insititute).  In all other assays, it works the same as the Sf-21 derived protein.

  2. What are the differences between the Recombinant Human Thrombopoietin/Tpo Proteins (Catalog #s 288-TP, 288-TPN, and 288-TPE)?

    • Each of these proteins is produced using a different expression system. 288-TP is Spodoptera frugiperda, Sf21 baculovirus-derived; 288-TPN is mouse myeloma cell line, NS0-derived; and 288-TPE is E. coli-derived.

      Additionally, the sequence length also varies. 288-TP and 288-TPN begin at Ser22 and end at Gly353. 288-TPE also begins at Ser22 but is truncated at the C-terminus, ending at Leu195. Truncation of the C-terminus has been shown to enhance the biological activity of Tpo.
