Recombinant Human CD47 binds to immobilized Recombinant Human SIRPα/CD172a V2 in a dose-dependent manner. ED50 is between 0.4 – 2.4 µg/mL. -
Stability Testing for Recombinant Human SIRPα/CD172a V2. Recombinant Human SIRPα/CD172a V2 was aliquoted in PBS, pH 7.2 at 0.2 mg/mL and one aliquot was kept at 4°C (Control), and another was frozen and thawed four times (4x Freeze/Thaw). After this procedure, the samples were tested for their ability in a binding assay with Recombinant Human CD47. The ED50 for this effect is 0.4 – 2.4 µg/mL.

Signal Regulatory Proteins (SIRPs) are a family of transmembrane glycoproteins with extracellular IgG domains. The extracellular regions of the SIRPs are comprised of three Ig-like loops; the proximal loop contains two IgC domains while the distal membrane loop contains one IgV domain. While these extracellular domains are similar among SIRPs, their transmembrane and cytoplasmic domains differentiate them from one another. Signal regulatory protein α (SIRPα) is highly expressed in macrophages and dendritic cells. Interaction of the extracellular region of SIRPα with its ligand CD47 elicits signaling and SIRPα phosphorylation. CD47-SIRPα signaling results in the recruitment and activation of the tyrosine phosphatases SHP-1 and SHP-2, which negatively regulate cellular functions, including the regulation of leukocyte adhesion and transmigration, T cell activation, macrophage fusion and phagocytosis. In addition to its role in "self-signaling", SIRPα also functions as a scaffold for membrane-bound signaling molecules. Interaction of CD47 on tumor cells with SIRPα on tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) constitutes an innate immune checkpoint that interferes with the detection and phagocytosis. SIRPα V1, SIRPα V2, and SIRPα V8 are the main SIRPα variants in humans. hSIRPα V1 is dominant among Europeans, Africans, and South Asians while hSIRPα V2 dominates east Asians. Sequence alignment of hSIRPα V1, hSIRPα V2, and hSIRPα V8 proteins demonstrated the differences within the CD47-binding extracellular Ig-like V-type (IgV) domain.

Stock solutions can also be prepared at 50 - 100 µg/mL in appropriate sterile buffer, carrier protein such as 0.2 - 1% BSA or HSA can be added when preparing the stock solution. Aliquots can be stored between 2°C and 8°C for up to one week and stored at -20°C or colder for up to 3 months. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
- Activity
- When Recombinant Human SIRPα/CD172a V2 is immobilized at 0.2 µg/mL, Recombinant Human CD47 (Cat. No. 785406) binds in a dose-dependent manner with an ED50 range of 0.4 – 2.4 µg/mL. Biotin anti-human CD47 Antibody (Cat. No. 323104) and HRP-Avidin (Cat. No. 405103) was used to detect the binding.

• Learn more about our Recombinant Proteins. - How does the activity of your recombinant proteins compare to competitors?
-
We quality control each and every lot of recombinant protein. Not only do we check its bioactivity, but we also compare it against other commercially available recombinant proteins. We make sure each recombinant protein’s activity is at least as good as or better than the competition’s. In order to provide you with the best possible product, we ensure that our testing process is rigorous and thorough. If you’re curious and eager to make the switch to BioLegend recombinants, contact your sales representative today!
- What is the specific activity or ED50 of my recombinant protein?
-
The specific activity range of the protein is indicated on the product datasheets. Because the exact activity values on a per unit basis can largely fluctuate depending on a number of factors, including the nature of the assay, cell density, age of cells/passage number, culture media used, and end user technique, the specific activity is best defined as a range and we guarantee the specific activity of all our lots will be within the range indicated on the datasheet. Please note this only applies to recombinants labeled for use in bioassays. ELISA standard recombinant proteins are not recommended for bioassay usage as they are not tested for these applications.
- Have your recombinants been tested for stability?
-
Our testing shows that the recombinant proteins are able to withstand room temperature for a week without losing activity. In addition the recombinant proteins were also found to withstand four cycles of freeze and thaw without losing activity.
- Does specific activity of a recombinant protein vary between lots?
-
Specific activity will vary for each lot and for the type of experiment that is done to validate it, but all passed lots will have activity within the established ED50 range for the product and we guarantee that our products will have lot-to-lot consistency. Please conduct an experiment-specific validation to find the optimal ED50 for your system.
- How do you convert activity as an ED50 in ng/ml to a specific activity in Units/mg?
-
Use formula Specific activity (Units/mg) = 10^6/ ED50 (ng/mL)
