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.

Reconstitution Calculator

Background: Viral Neuraminidase

Neuraminidase (NA) and hemagglutinin (HA) are major membrane glycoproteins found on the surface of influenza virus. HA is a lectin that binds sialic acid on host cell membrane. NA is a sialic acid hydrolase that specifically clips off terminally located sialic acid on host cell surface. The two proteins are essential for the infectious cycle of the influenza virus. During initial infection, an influenza virus will hold onto an epithelial cell through HA-sialic acid interaction. At the end of an infectious cycle, the NA will cleave the sialic acid on the host cell membrane, releasing the formed viral particle from the HA-sialic acid bondage (1). The neuraminidase activity is also thought to help the virus penetrate mucus. Nine subtypes of NA have been identified, all of which are tetrameric and share a common structure consisting of a globular head, a thin stalk region, and a small hydrophobic region that anchors the protein in the virus membrane (2). The purified rvH1N1NA consists of amino acid residues 37 to 469 as deduced from the 1918 Spanish flu virus NA (A/Bervig_Mission/1/18) (3). It has a distinct N-glycan profile and is resistant to trypsin digestion (4).
