BTNL8 Protein, Human (HEK293, hFc)
Based on 1 Customer Validation
BTNL8 protein potentially stimulates the primary immune response by affecting sub-optimally stimulated T-cells through the TCR/CD3 complex. It promotes T-cell proliferation and enhances cytokine production. BTNL8 Protein, Human (HEK293, hFc) is the recombinant human-derived BTNL8 protein, expressed by HEK293 , with C-hFc labeled tag.
- Species: Human
- Source: HEK293

Storage: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.
Biological Activity
Description
BTNL8 protein potentially stimulates the primary immune response by affecting sub-optimally stimulated T-cells through the TCR/CD3 complex. It promotes T-cell proliferation and enhances cytokine production. BTNL8 Protein, Human (HEK293, hFc) is the recombinant human-derived BTNL8 protein, expressed by HEK293 , with C-hFc labeled tag.
Background
BTNL8 protein potentially functions as a stimulator of the primary immune response, exerting its effects on T-cells that are sub-optimally stimulated through the TCR/CD3 complex. Its activity involves promoting the proliferation of T-cells and enhancing the production of cytokines.
Verified Bioactivity
Measured by its ability to enhance anti-CD3-induced IFN-gamma secretion of mouse CTLL-2 cells. The ED50 for this effect is 2.028 μg/mL in the presence of 10μg/mL anti-CD3, corresponding to a specific activity is 493.097 U/mg.

Product Properties
Lyophilized powder.
Lyophilized from a 0.22 μm filtered solution of PBS, pH 7.4.
<1 EU/μg, determined by LAL method.
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).
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.
Room temperature in continental US; may vary elsewhere.
