| Description |
Defensins (alpha and beta) are cationic peptides with a broad spectrum of antimicrobial activity that comprise an important arm of the innate immune system. The ª-defensins are distinguished from the ß-defensins by the pairing of their three disulfide bonds. To date, four human ß-defensins have been identified, BD-1, BD-2, BD-3 and BD-4. The ß-defensin proteins are expressed as the C-terminal portion of precursors and are released by proteolytic cleavage of a signal sequence. ß-defensins contain a six-cysteine motif that forms three intra-molecular disulfide bonds. ß-defensins are 3-5 kDa peptides ranging in size from 33-47 amino acid residues. BD-4 is expressed in testis, stomach, uterus, neutrophils, thyroid, lung and kidney. In addition to its direct antimicrobial activities, BD-4 is chemoattractant towards human blood monocytes. |
| M.W. |
Approximately 6.0 KDa, a single non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 50 amino acids. |
| Purity |
>98% by SDS-PAGE and HPLC analyses. |
| Endotoxin Level |
Less than 0.2EU/ug of rHuBD-4 as determined by LAL method. |
| Specific Activity |
Fully biologically active when compared to standard. The ED50 determined by a chemotaxis bioassay usinghuman monocytes is less than 100 ng/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of ＞, 1.0 x 104 IU/mg. |
| Storage |
This lyophilized preparation is stable at 2-8 C, but should be kept at -20 C for long term storage, preferably desiccated. Upon reconstitution, the preparation is stable for up to one week at 2-8 C. For maximal stability, apportion the reconstituted preparation into working aliquots and store at -20 C to -70 C. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles. |
| Formulation |
Lyophilized from a 0.2µ, m filtered concentrated, solution in 20mM PB, pH 7.4, 130mM NaCl. |
| Reconstitution |
We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Reconstitute in sterile distilled water or aqueous buffer containing 0.1% BSA to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL. Stock solutions should be apportioned into working aliquots and stored at <-20°, C. Further dilutions should be made in appropriate buffered solutions. |
| Physical Appearance |
Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder. |
| Usage |
This material is for research, laboratory or further evaluation purposes. NOT FOR HUMAN USE. |
