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: CCL16/HCC-4

Human HCC-4, also named NCC-4, liver-expressed chemokine (LEC), and lymphocyte and monocyte chemoattractant (LMC), is a novel CC chemokine identified through bioinformatics. HCC-4 cDNA encodes a 120 amino acid (aa) residue precursor protein with a 23 aa residue predicted signal peptide that is cleaved to generate a 97 aa residue mature protein. HCC-4 is distantly related to other CC chemokines, exhibiting less than 30% aa sequence identity. Among these CC chemokines, HCC-4 has the most similarity to HCC-1. Two potential polyadenylation signals are present on the human HCC-4 gene, and as a result, two transcripts containing approximately 1,500 base pairs and 500 base pairs have been detected. HCC-4 is expressed weakly by some lymphocytes, including NK cells, gamma δ T cells, and some T cell clones. The expression of HCC-4 in monocytes is highly upregulated in the presence of IL-10. The HCC-4 gene has been mapped to chromosome 17q where multiple CC chemokines are clustered.

Recombinant HCC-4 has been shown to chemoattract human monocytes and THP-1 cells but not resting lymphocytes or neutrophils. HCC-4 has also been found to suppress proliferation of myeloid progenitor cells. The HCC-4 induced calcium flux in THP-1 cells can be desensitized by prior exposure to RANTES, suggesting that HCC-4 and RANTES share the same receptor in THP-1 cells.
