Immobilized recombinant human MAdCAM-1 supports the adhesion of HuT78 cells in a dose-dependent manner with ED50 range of 0.4 - 2.4 µg/mL in the presence of 1mM MnCl2. Deep Blue Cell Viability™ Kit (Cat. No. 424702) was used to detect the adherent cells. -
Recombinant human MAdCAM-1 was aliquoted in PBS at 0.2 mg/mL. One aliquot was frozen and thawed four times (4x Freeze/Thaw), and compared to a control kept at 4°C (Control). The samples were tested in an adhesion assay with HuT78 cells. The ED50 for this effect is 0.4 - 2.4 µg/mL in the presence of 1mM MnCl2.

MAdCAM-1 (Mucosal Addressin Cell Adhesion Molecule-1) is a 58-66 kD type I glycoprotein. MAdCAM-1 is a member of the immunoglobulin (Ig) superfamily, composed of extracellular domain with two Ig-like domains, followed by a transmembrane domain and a short cytoplasmatic domain. Human MAdCAM-1 is widely expressed after embryonic week 7. After birth, MAdCAM-1 is gradually expressed on gut-associated mucosal tissue. In adults, MAdCAM-1 is predominately expressed on High Endothelial Venule (HEV) of Peyer's patches, mesenteric lymph nodes and gut lamina propria. It is additionally expressed on vascular endothelium in mammary glands and pancreas, thymic medulla, tonsils, nasal associated lymphoid tissues, and brain. The integrin α4β7, expressed on lymphocytes, is the receptor for MAdCAM-1. The interaction of MAdCAM-1 to α4β7 via its N-terminal Ig-like domain plays a role in promoting intestinal inflammation. MAdCAM-1 is involved in lymphocyte tethering, rolling, and homing through its interaction with integrin α4β7 or CD62L. Besides, the ligation of lymphocyte ligand, CCR9 by chemokine CCL25 activates α4β7 binding to MAdCAM-1 promoting recruitment of lymphocytes to the small bowel. MAdCAM-1 is also expressed in minute amounts in healthy liver and upregulates inflammation in association with portal tract. Pro-inflammatory cytokines like TNF-α drive increased expression of MAdCAM-1. It has been reported that immobilized MAdCAM-1 is able to co-stimulate T cell proliferation. MECA-367 antibody blocks the interaction of MAdCAM-1 with its counter-receptor both in vitro and in vivo. In vivo administration of the mAb is able to reduce T-cell mediated inflammation in some gastrointestinal diseases. Upregulation of MAdCAM-1 has also been observed in several chronic inflammatory diseases, such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), diabetes, primary sclerosing cholangitis, liver cirrhosis, chronic relapsing experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis. MAdCAM-1 could be a potentially useful marker to monitor disease activity.

-
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)
