Purity
>90%, by SDS-PAGE visualized with Silver Staining and quantitative densitometry by Coomassie® Blue Staining.
Endotoxin Level
<0.10 EU per 1 μg of the protein by the LAL method.
Activity
Measured by its binding ability in a functional ELISA. When Recombinant Human AICL/CLEC-2B Fc Chimera is coated at 2 µg/mL (100 µL/well), the concentration of Recombinant Human Galectin-1 (Catalog # 1152-GA) that produces 50% optimal binding response is 0.6-3 µg/mL.

Background: AICL/CLEC-2B
Activation-induced C-type lectin (AICL), also known as CLEC2B, is a 30-35 kDa variably glycosylated type-2 transmembrane member of the C-type lectin-like receptor (CTLR) family. AICL belongs to the subgroup of CLEC2 proteins that also includes CLEC2A/KACL, CLEC2D/LLT, and CD69/CLEC2C, all of which are encoded by the natural killer gene complex (1). Human AICL contains a single C-type lectin domain in its extracellular region and a 7 amino acid cytoplasmic tail (2). AICL is expressed on monocytes, macrophages, and granulocytes (3), and it is upregulated on TLR-activated monocytes and IL-12 + IL-18 activated NK cells (3, 4). AICL is an activating receptor that triggers TNF production by monocytes (3). It binds to NKp80 on NK cells, resulting in NK cell mediated lysis of the AICL expressing monocyte (3). In addition, the AICL-NKp80 axis mediates interactions between activated and resting NK cells (4).
