CD55/DAF Protein, Human (HEK293, hFc)

Cat. No.: HY-P75394
COA Handling Instructions

The CD55/DAF protein is critical in the immune system, recognizing C4b and C3b fragments, interfering with their enzymatic conversion and preventing the formation of complement cascade amplifying convertase. This regulatory mechanism alleviates complement-induced damage by inhibiting complement activation. CD55/DAF Protein, Human (HEK293, hFc) is the recombinant human-derived CD55/DAF protein, expressed by HEK293 , with C-hFc labeled tag. The total length of CD55/DAF Protein, Human (HEK293, hFc) is 319 a.a., with molecular weight of 95-105 kDa.

Description

The CD55/DAF protein is critical in the immune system, recognizing C4b and C3b fragments, interfering with their enzymatic conversion and preventing the formation of complement cascade amplifying convertase. This regulatory mechanism alleviates complement-induced damage by inhibiting complement activation. CD55/DAF Protein, Human (HEK293, hFc) is the recombinant human-derived CD55/DAF protein, expressed by HEK293 , with C-hFc labeled tag. The total length of CD55/DAF Protein, Human (HEK293, hFc) is 319 a.a., with molecular weight of 95-105 kDa.

Background

CD55/DAF Protein plays a crucial role in the immune system by recognizing C4b and C3b fragments generated during C4 and C3 activation. Its interaction with cell-associated C4b and C3b polypeptides interferes with their ability to catalyze the conversion of C2 and factor B to enzymatically active C2a and Bb, preventing the formation of C4b2a and C3bBb, the amplification convertases of the complement cascade. This interference serves as a regulatory mechanism, inhibiting complement activation and preventing the formation of C3 and C5 convertases, thereby mitigating complement-induced damage. Notably, CD55/DAF also acts as a receptor for Coxsackievirus A21, as well as coxsackieviruses B1, B3, and B5 during microbial infection, highlighting its diverse roles in immune regulation and viral recognition.

Biological Activity

Purity

Greater than 90% as determined by reducing SDS-PAGE.

Appearance

Lyophilized powder.

Formulation

Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution of PBS, pH 7.4. Normally 5 % - 8 % trehalose, mannitol and 0.01% Tween 80 are added as protectants before lyophilization.

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.

Storage & Stability

Stored at -20°C for 2 years. 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.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.

  • Specific Activity Calculator

The reconstitution calculator equation

Volume (to add to vial) = Mass (in vial) ÷ Desired Reconstitution Concentration

Volume (to add to vial) = Mass (in vial) ÷ Desired Reconstitution Concentration
= ÷

The dilution calculator equation

Concentration (start) × Volume (start) = Concentration (final) × Volume (final)

This equation is commonly abbreviated as: C1V1 = C2V2

Concentration (start) × Volume (start) = Concentration (final) × Volume (final)
× = ×

The specific activity calculator equation

Specific Activity (Unit/mg) = 106 ÷ Biological Activity (ED50)

Specific Activity (Unit/mg) = 106 ÷ Biological Activity (ED50)
Unit/mg = 106 ÷ ng/mL
