Biological Activity

Description

BD-1 Protein, Rat is antimicrobial peptide that defends epithelial surfaces including the skin, gastrointestinal, and respiratory tracts.

Background

Beta Defensin-1 displays potent microcidal properties, and also plays a part in other aspects of innate and adaptive immunity[1]. Rat Beta Defensin-1 reduction may be in part responsible for the high incidence of urinary tract infections in diabetes mellitus[2].

Verified Bioactivity

Measured by its anti-microbial activity against E. coli. The ED50 for  this effect is 62.07 ng/mL, corresponding to a specific activity is 1.61×10^4 U/mg.

Product Properties

Appearance

Lyophilized powder.

Formulation

Lyophilized from a 0.22 μm filtered solution of 20 mM PB, 150 mM NaCl, pH 7.4.

Endotoxin Level

<1 EU/μg, determined by LAL method.

Reconstitution

It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100 μg/mL in ddH2O. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% BSA, 5% HSA, 10% FBS or 5% Trehalose).

Storage & Stability

Stored at -20°C for 2 years from date of receipt. After reconstitution, it is stable at 4°C for 1 week or -20°C for longer (with carrier protein). It is recommended to freeze aliquots at -20°C or -80°C for extended storage.

Shipping

Room temperature in continental US; may vary elsewhere.
