Pentraxin 3/TSG-14, Mouse, Recombinant

Recombinant, mouse pentraxin 3, consisting of amino acids 18-381 and expressed in NS0-derived murine myeloma cells with a C-terminal His•Tag. Pentraxin 3, a secreted glycoprotein, exhibits a C-terminal Pentraxin domain and a unique N-terminal domain. Its increased expression may enhance the immune response to protect a host from infection.

Functional ELISA: binds rhC1q (5 µg/ml) in the linear range of 0.25-15 µg/ml.

Lyophilized from 0.2 µm filtered MOPS, NaCl, CaCl₂, BSA.

Following reconstitution refrigerate (4°C) for short-term storage or aliquot and freeze (-20°C) for long-term storage. Stock solutions are stable for up to 1 month at 4°C or for up to 3 months at -20°C.

Reconstitute to 100 µg/ml in sterile PBS containing at least 0.1% human or bovine serum albumin.
