Carrier Free
What does CF mean?
CF stands for Carrier Free (CF). We typically add Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) as a carrier protein to our recombinant proteins. Adding a carrier protein enhances protein stability, increases shelf-life, and allows the recombinant protein to be stored at a more dilute concentration. The carrier free version does not contain BSA.
What formulation is right for me?
In general, we advise purchasing the recombinant protein with BSA for use in cell or tissue culture, or as an ELISA standard. In contrast, the carrier free protein is recommended for applications, in which the presence of BSA could interfere.

Background: CCL22/MDC
Mouse ABCD-1, the mouse orthologue of the human macrophage-derived chemokine (MDC)/stimulated T cell chemotactic protein (STCP-1), is a CC chemokine cloned from activated mouse B cells. Mouse MDC cDNA encodes a precursor protein of 92 amino acid (aa) residues with a 24 aa residue predicted signal peptide that is cleaved to yield a 68 aa residue mature 7.8 kDa protein. At the amino acid sequence level, mouse and human MDC share 64% identity and 83% similarity. The genomic organization of the mouse and human MDC genes are very similar, exhibiting sequence identity at the intron-exon boundaries. Mouse MDC is expressed at high levels in dendritic cells and activated B lymphocytes. Low levels of mouse MDC mRNA are also detectable in lung, unstimulated spleen cells, lymph node cells and in thymocytes. MDC is a functional ligand for the CC chemokine receptor 4. Recombinant or chemically synthesized mature mouse MDC has been shown to induce chemotaxis or Ca2+ mobilization in activated mouse and human T cells.
