The separation DescriptionBovine Serum Albumin (BSA) is a high purity, lyophilized "Fraction V" powder derived from the plasma of MPI-inspected healthy New Zealand origin animals. The albumin is isolated from other plasma protein products and lipids by a unique proprietary, non-solvent procedure. The separation process includes a modified Cohn / heat-shock procedure designed to inactivate proteases and other potentially interfering enzymes. Further processing such as extensive membrane dialysis and filtration, minimizes analytes that can cause background interference in sensitive in vitro diagnostic (IVD) assays as well as inhibition in sensitive cell and microbial culture systems. Typical purity levels are in excess of 99%. New Zealand Source Standard Grade bovine albumin product is an economical choice that is ideal for most diagnostic and research applications.ApplicationsProtease-sensitive Immunoassays such as RIA, EIA, Fluorescent and ChemiluminescentProtein Standard, DiluentProtein, Conjugate or Enzyme StabilizerHybridizationSelected Cell Culture applicationsFeatures/BenefitsHigh Purity, Low Interference, Low BackgroundVirtually No Detectable Protease Activity, Ensures Assay Integrity“Closed Loop” Manufacturing* – Minimizes Contamination and Maximizes ReproducibilitySuperior Solubility/Filterability for Ease of UseProduct Development and Technical Services Designed for maximum responsiveness and FlexibilityManufactured from MPI inspected Bovine PlasmaManufactured According to FDA cGMPsValidated for Prion (TSE) ClearanceSpecificationsProtein (dry basis) ≥ 96.0%Purity (albumin) ≥ 98%Solubility (4% water) Clear/slightly hazyMoisture ≤ 5.0%pH (10% water) 6.5 to 7.5Ash < 2%Protease ≤ 0.005 Units/mgEndotoxin ≤ 3 EU/mgIgG Not DetectedPhysical CharacteristicsBovine Serum Albumin is a highly soluble yellow to green with tan to green cast lyophilized powder.

Description: Mesothelin (MSLN), also known as CAK1 and ERC, is a glycosylated cell-surface antigen present on normal mesothelial cells and over-expressed in several human tumors. The mesothelin gene encodes a ~70 kDa Purity: >95%, by SDS-PAGE visualized with Coomassie® Blue Staining. Description: Mesothelin (MSLN), also known as CAK1 and ERC, is a glycosylated cell-surface antigen present on normal mesothelial cells and over-expressed in several human tumors. The mesothelin gene encodes a ~70 kDa precursor protein that is cleaved at a dibasic proteolytic site into a 40 kDa membrane-bound protein termed MSLN and a 31 kDa shed fragment called megakaryocyte-potentiating factor (MPF) that is released from the cell. Cleaved, human MSLN remains attached to the cell surface via a GPI linkage and shares 58% amino acid sequence identity with mouse and rat MSLN. In human, alternate splicing generates additional MSLN isoforms that have either an eight amino acid insertion following Ser408 or a substituted C‑terminal region with no GPI anchor. Mesothelin is normally expressed on mesothelial cells in the pleura, pericardium, and peritoneum as well as in the developing and postnatal pancreas. It is up‑regulated in mesotheliomas and a range of carcinomas and adenomas. Mesothelin promotes tumor cell proliferation, migration, anchorage-independent growth, and tumor progression. It is co‑expressed with the tumor antigen CA125/MUC16 on advanced ovarian adenocarcinomas and interacts with this molecule to support cell adhesion. A soluble form of Mesothelin is released from tumor cells into the serum or tissue effusions...

The TRAF1/TRAF2 complex recruits the apoptotic suppressors BIRC2 and BIRC3 to TNFRSF1B/TNFR2. This receptor mediates most of the metabolic effects of TNF-alpha. Isoform 2 blocks TNF-alpha-induced apoptosis, which suggests that it regulates TNF-alpha function by antagonizing its biological activity... Read More |
