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: Lymphotoxin

Lymphotoxin-alpha (LT alpha ), also known as tumor necrosis factor (TNF) beta, and lymphotoxin-beta (LT beta ) are members of the TNF family. LT alpha cDNA encodes a 202 amino acid secreted soluble protein with a 33 amino acid signal sequence. LT beta cDNA encodes a 306 amino acid type II membrane protein with an N-terminal cytoplasmic domain (residues 1 - 18), a transmembrane region (residues 29 - 48), and an extracellular domain (residues 49 - 306). Secreted LT alpha assembles as a soluble homotrimer, LT alpha 3. In addition, secreted LT alpha also complexes with the membrane associated LT beta to generate two types of heterotrimers, LT alpha 1/ beta 2 and LT alpha 2/ beta 1 (1). The soluble LT alpha 3 binds both TNF RI (p55) and TNF RII (p75). In contrast, the predominant membrane-bound heterotrimer, LT alpha 1/ beta 2, binds only to the lymphotoxin beta receptor (LT beta R). LT alpha 2/ beta 1 is capable of binding LT beta R, TNF RI (p55), and TNF RII (p75). LT plays a role in normal lymphoid organogenesis (2, 3). Transgenic LT alpha knock-out mice exhibited a loss in lymph node development, a change in splenic architecture, and impaired germinal center formation (4). LT is expressed by activated naïve CD4 cells, unpolarized IL-2-secreting effectors, and Th1 effectors. A loss of LT expression and lack of TNF-alpha or TNF-beta secretion is associated with prior exposure to IL-4 and a Th2 phenotype (5).
