|
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 Abciximab at 1μg/ml (100μl/well) on the plate can bind Integrin alpha 2B beta 3 (ITGA2B&ITGB3) Heterodimer, His, Human. Test result was comparable to standard batch. |
Expression System |
HEK293 |
Theoretical Molecular Weight |
110.5 kDa (ITGA2B)&81.3 kDa (ITGB3) |
Apparent Molecular Weight |
Due to glycosylation, the protein migrates to 95-115 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 |
Glanzmann thrombasthenia (GT) is characterized by mucocutaneous bleeding due to platelets that fail to aggregate in response to physiologic stimuli. GT, a rare inherited disease, is caused by quantitative or qualitative deficiencies of αIIbβ3, an integrin receptor for adhesive proteins. Coded by the ITGA2B and ITGB3 genes, αIIbβ3 mediates platelet-to-platelet attachment, aggregation and clot retraction. |
