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.

390-TN

Formulation Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution in MOPS and NaCl with BSA as a carrier protein.

Background: TRANCE/TNFSF11/RANK L

RANK Ligand (receptor activator of NF-kappa B ligand [RANKL], also called TNF-related activation-induced cytokines (TRANCE), osteoprotegerin ligand [OPGL], and osteoclast differentiation factor [ODF]), is a member of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) family. RANK Ligand was originally identified as an immediate early gene up‑regulated by T cell receptor stimulation. The human RANK Ligand cDNA encodes a type II transmembrane protein of 317 amino acids with a predicted cytoplasmic domain of 47 amino acids, a 21 amino acids transmembrane region, and an extracellular domain of 249 amino acids. The extracellular domain contains two potential N‑linked glycosylation sites. Mouse and human RANK Ligand share 85% amino acid identity. RANK Ligand is primarily expressed in T cells and T cell rich organs, such as thymus and lymph nodes. The multi-functions of RANK Ligand include induction of activation of the c-jun N‑terminal kinase, enhancement of T cell growth and dendritic cell function, induction of osteoclastogenesis, and lymph node organogenesis. RANK is the cell surface signaling receptor of RANK Ligand. RANK has been shown to undergo receptor clustering during signal transduction. Osteoprotegerin, a soluble member of the TNF receptor family which binds RANK Ligand, is a naturally occurring decoy receptor that counterbalances the effects of RANK Ligand.

FAQs

  1. This protein datasheet indicates I need to use a cross-linking antibody, Catalog # MAB050, for biological activity. What is this antibody and is it really necessary?

    • The antibody is directed against a 6x histidine repeat and is recommended for use as a cross-linker of proteins with 6x his-tag. Crosslinking is often used for proteins that require receptor trimerization and can result greater biological activity. R&D Systems Quality Control tests the performance of these proteins in the presence of the cross-linking antibody. Therefore, it is necessary to use this antibody when trying to achieve the same level of specific activity described in the datasheet.

  2. Is this protein provided in trimeric form or monomer form? 

    • We do not define this protein as being exclusively a monomer, but we know that the protein is not fully associated into trimers because we need to use a cross-linking antibody for our in-house activity testing to cause multiple subunits of this protein to associate. This product has been shown to be biologically active in such testing when a cross-linking antibody is used. Therefore, we would expect for this protein to perform its expected biological function.

  3. What are the differences between the Recombinant Human TRANCE/RANK L/TNFSF11 Protein (Catalog # 390-TN) and the Recombinant Human TRANCE/RANK L/TNFSF11 (Catalog # 6449-TEC)?

    • 6449-TEC is the truncated version of 390-TN, and it contains a 10-His tag in the N-terminus. The bioactivity of 390-TN and 6449-TEC are measured in the same assay described in the datasheet, "Measured by its ability to induce osteoclast differentiation of RAW 264.7 mouse monocyte/macrophage cells." However, 390-TN utilizes a cross-linking antibody, MAB050, as it requires receptor trimerization which results in higher bioactivity. The ED50 for 390-TN is 1.5-7.5 ng/mL in the presence of MAB050, while the ED50 for 6449-TEC is 2-12 ng/mL.
