| Description : |
Tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand Receptor 2 (TRAIL-R2) is a cell-surface receptor involved in tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL)-induced cell-death signaling. The death ligand TRAIL bears high potential as a new anticancer agent, as binding to the death receptors TRAIL-R1 or TRAIL-R2 triggers apoptosis in most cancer cells. TRAIL-R2 has been shown to be associated with a decrease in the survival rates of breast cancer patients. |

| Species : |
Human |
| Form : |
Lyophilized from a 0.2μm filtered concentrated solution in PBS, pH 7.4. |
| Bio-activity : |
Fully biologically active when compared to standard. rHusTRAIL-R2 reduced the production of LPS-induced TNF by its ability to neutralize endogenous TRAIL in fresh human PBMC. In this assay, endogenous TRAIL is induced during a 24 hour exposure to LPS (10 ng/mL) but in the presence of rHusTRAIL-R2, TRAIL-induced TNF is suppressed. |
| Molecular Mass : |
Approximately 14.8 kDa, a single non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 132 amino acids. |
| Protein length : |
132 |

| Endotoxin : |
Less than 1 EU/μg of rHusTRAIL-R2 as determined by LAL method. |
| Purity : |
>97% by SDS-PAGE and HPLC analysis. |
| Storage : |
Use a manual defrost freezer and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. 12 months from date of receipt, -20 to -70 centigrade as supplied. 1 month, 2 to 8 centigrade under sterile conditions after reconstitution. 3 months, -20 to -70 centigrade under sterile conditions after reconstitution. |
| 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 centigrade. Further dilutions should be made in appropriate buffered solutions. |
