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.

Assay Procedure

Materials
  • Assay Buffer: 50 mM MES, 5 mM DTT, 1 mM EDTA, 0.005% (w/v) Brij-35, pH 6.0
  • Recombinant Human Cathepsin L (rhCathepsin L) (Catalog # 952-CY)
  • Fluorogenic Peptide Substrate VII: Z-Leu-Arg-AMC (Catalog # ES008)
  • F16 Black Maxisorp Plate (Nunc, Catalog # 475515)
  • Fluorescent Plate Reader (Model: SpectraMax Gemini EM by Molecular Devices) or equivalent
  1. Dilute rhCathepsin L to 40 µg/mL in Assay Buffer.
  2. Incubate diluted rhCathepsin L on ice for 15 minutes.
  3. Dilute incubated 40 µg/mL rhCathepsin L to 0.02 ng/µL in Assay Buffer.
  4. Dilute Substrate to 80 µM in Assay Buffer.
  5. Load 50 µL of 0.02 ng/µL rhCathepsin L into a black well plate, and start the reaction by adding 50 µL of 80 µM Substrate. Include a Substrate Blank containing 50 µL Assay Buffer and 50 µL of 80 µM Substrate without any rhCathepsin L.
  6. Read at excitation and emission wavelengths of 380 nm and 460 nm (top read), respectively, in kinetic mode for 5 minutes.
  7. Calculate specific activity:

     Specific Activity (pmol/min/µg) =

 Adjusted Vmax* (RFU/min) x Conversion Factor** (pmol/RFU)
amount of enzyme (µg)

     *Adjusted for Substrate Blank

     **Derived using calibration standard 7-Amino, 4-Methyl Coumarin (AMC) (Sigma, Catalog # A-9891).

Per Well:
  • rhCathepsin L: 0.001 µg
  • Substrate: 40 µM

Background: Cathepsin L

Cathepsin L is a lysosomal cysteine protease expressed in most eukaryotic cells. Cathepsin L is known to hydrolyze a number of proteins, including the proform of urokinase-type plasminogen activator, which is activated by Cathepsin L cleavage (1). Cathepsin L has also been shown to proteolytically inactivate alpha 1-antitrypsin and secretory leucoprotease inhibitor, two major protease inhibitors of the respiratory tract (2). These observations, combined with the demonstration of increased Cathepsin L activity in the epithelial lining fluid of the lungs of emphysema patients, have led to the suggestion that the enzyme may be involved in the progression of this disease. Cathepsin L has also been identified as a major excreted protein of transformed fibroblasts, indicating the enzyme could be involved in malignant tumor growth (3). Human Cathepsin L activity is greatest under mildly acidic conditions, from pH 4.5 - 6.5. The stability of the enzyme decreases at higher pH values.
