|
Purity |
> 95% as determined by BisTris PAGE > 95% as determined by HPLC |
Endotoxin Level |
Less than 1EU per μg by the LAL method. |
Biological Activity |
Measured by its binding ability in a functional ELISA. Immobilized Human CD2, His Tag at 2μg/ml (100μl/well) on the plate can bind CD58 hFc Chimera, Human. Test result was comparable to standard batch. |
Expression System |
HEK293 |
Theoretical Molecular Weight |
48.1 kDa |
Apparent Molecular Weight |
Due to glycosylation, the protein migrates to 65-75 kDa based on Bis-Tris PAGE result. |
Formulation |
Lyophilized from 0.22μm filtered solution in PBS (pH 7.4). |
Reconstitution |
Centrifuge the tube before opening. Reconstituting to a concentration more than 100 μg/ml is recommended. Dissolve the lyophilized protein in distilled water. |
Storage & Stability |
Upon receiving, the product remains stable up to 6 months at -20 °C or below. Upon reconstitution, the product should be stable for 3 months at -80 °C. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. |
Target Background |
Loss of CD58 is a common mechanism for tumor immune evasion in lymphoid malignancies. CD58 loss is known to occur due to both genetic and non-genetic causes; therefore, we hypothesized that restoring CD58 expression in lymphoma cells may be an effective treatment approach. EZH2 is involved in the epigenetic silencing of CD58 in lymphoma cells as a mechanism for tumor immune escape, and EZH2 inhibitors are able to restore epigenetically suppressed CD58 expression. |
