Introduction
TNFRSF14, a member of the TNF receptor superfamily, is a type I transmembrane protein. TNFRSF14 is expressed in peripheral blood T cells, B cells, monocytes and in various tissues enriched in lymphoid cells. TNFRSF14 operates as a co-stimulatory factor for the activation of lymphoid cells and as a deterrent to infection by herpesvirus. Additionally, TNFRSF14 encourages the proliferation of T cells, and triggers apoptosis of various tumor cells.
Description
TNFSF14 Mouse Recombinant produced in E. Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 168 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 18.4kDa.
Source
Escherichia Coli.
Physical Appearance
Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
Formulation
TNFSF14 protein was lyophilized from a 0.2µm filtered concentrated solution in PBS pH7.4.
Solubility
It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized TNFSF14 in sterile 100mM HAc not less than 100µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.
Stability
Lyophilized TNFSF14 although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution TNFSF14 should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).
Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
Purity
Greater than 96.0% as determined by:
(a) Analysis by RP-HPLC.
(b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE.
