sCD22 human

CD22 is a B-lineage restricted 135 kDa glycoprotein whose cell surface expression is limited to resting and activated B lymphocytes. The physiological role of CD22 is still unknown. Targeted disruption of CD22 in mice results in a reduced level of surface IgM on peripheral B cells suggesting a role for CD22 in limiting antigen receptor signaling. CD22 is a member of the Ig gene superfamily that uniquely binds a sialic acid-dependent ligand. Recombinant human CD22 is a soluble 75.0 kDa protein which corresponds to the extracellular domain of CD22.

Sterile filtered through a 0.2 micron filter. Lyophilized from 1X PBS, pH 7.2.

Centrifuge the vial prior to opening. Reconstitute in water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL. Do not vortex. This solution can be stored at 2-8°C for up to 1 week. For extended storage, it is recommended to further dilute in a buffer containing a carrier protein (example 0.1% BSA) and store in working aliquots at -20°C to -80°C.
