Lipopolysaccaride Human Recombinant ( LBP Human )
DescriptionThe Lipopolysaccharide Binding Protein is produced from human LBP transfected CHO-cells in serum free medium. Before transfection the complete human LBP-cDNA was amplified by PCR and cloned into expression vector p-POL-DHFR.The recombinant
Data sheet
| Formulation | Recombinant Human LBP was lyophilized from a protein solution (0.25 mg/ml) containing phosphate-buffered saline, pH 7.2. |
| Solubility | Every 10ug of recombinant human LBP should be reconstituted using 40ul of sterile H2O. The solution can be than diluted with phosphate-buffered saline or other buffers. |
| Description | The Lipopolysaccharide Binding Protein is produced from human LBP transfected CHO-cells in serum free medium. Before transfection the complete human LBP-cDNA was amplified by PCR and cloned into expression vector p-POL-DHFR.The recombinant Human LBP was purified by his-tag with metal affinity purification with Talon and controlled by SDS page.Attention: His-tag has no protease site and can not be split off. |
| Protein Background | Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) are a type of glycolipids on the outer cell wall of Gram-negative bacteria. Lipopolysaccharide binding protein (aka LBP) is a plasma protein which facilitates the diffusion of bacterial LPS (endotoxin). LBP is involved in the acute-phase immunologic response to gram-negative bacterial infections. In cooperation with bactericidal permeability-increasing protein (BPI), LBP binds LPS and interacts with the CD14 receptor, most likely playing a role in regulating LPS-dependent monocyte responses. LBP belongs to a family of structurally and functionally related proteins, including BPI, plasma cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP), and phospholipid transfer protein (PLTP). The LBP gene is found on chromosome 20, directly downstream of the BPI gene. LBP catalyzes the transfer of LPS monomers from LPS aggregates to HDL particles, to phospholipid bilayers, and to a binding site on soluble CD14 (sCD14). sCD14 is capable of speeding up the transfer by receiving an LPS monomer from an LPS aggregate, and then yielding it to an HDL particle, therefore acting as a soluble "shuttle" for an insoluble lipid. |
| Expression host | Chinese Hamster Ovarian Cells (CHO). |
| Synonyms | Lipopolysaccharide-binding protein, LBP, MGC22233. |
| Reagent Appearance | Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder. |
| Stability | Lyophilized LBP Human Recombinant although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution LBP should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C.Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |
| Activity | Up to 0.2 ug/ ml LBP mediates binding of FITC-LPS (0.5ug/ml) to CD14+CHO transfectants (FACS). |
| Characterization | On SDS-PAGE commassie blue stained gel, the 95% purified recombinant protein shows a band at 58 kDa. |
