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: MICB

Major Histocompatibility Complex Class I Chain-related Gene B (MICB) is a transmembrane glycoprotein that functions as a ligand for human Natural-Killer Group 2 Member D (NKG2D) (1). MICB, along with the highly related MICA, are members of the non-classical MHC class I family. Similar to classical MHC class I proteins, MICB contains three Ig-like domains ( alpha 1, alpha 2, and alpha 3) in the extracellular domain (ECD), a transmembrane segment, and a carboxy-terminal cytoplasmic tail (2). The genes encoding MICA and MICB are found within the MHC on the short arm of human chromosome 6 and occur in most mammalian species but are absent from mouse and rat (2-4). Despite structural similarities, MICA/B only share ~27% amino acid (aa) identity with human MHC class I proteins (3). Both MICA and MICB display a significant degree of polymorphism within the ECD and this enables them to be reconfigured and bind with NKG2D rather than binding with beta 2-microglobulin (4, 5). Recognition of MICA/B by NKG2D results in the activation of cytolytic activity and/or cytokine production on NK cells, NKT cells, gamma δ T cells, and CD8+ alpha beta T cells (6, 7). MICA/B recognition is involved in tumor surveillance, viral infections, and autoimmune diseases. The release of soluble forms of MICA/B from tumors down-regulates NKG2D surface expression on effector cells resulting in the impairment of anti-tumor immune response (2, 8-11). Inhibition of MICA/B shedding through targeted antibodies allows anti-tumor immunity to be retained (12).
