When recombinant human SLAMF6-Fc (Cat No. 784606) is immobilized at 1 µg/mL, biotinylated recombinant human SLAMF6-Fc binds in a dose-dependent manner with ED50 range of 1 – 6 µg/mL. HRP Avidin (Cat. No. 405103) was used to detect the binding. -
Stability Testing for Biotinylated recombinant human SLAMF6. Biotinylated Recombinat human SLAMF6 was aliquoted in PBS at 0.2 mg/mL. One aliquotwas frozen and thawed four times (4x Freeze/Thaw), and compared to a control kept at 4°C (Control). The samples were tested in a binding assay with recombinant human SLAMF6-Fc. The ED50 for this effect is 1 – 6 µg/mL.

SLAMF6, also known as NTB-A, is one of the members in the CD2/CD150 subfamily. SLAMF6 is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein and it is expressed on NK cells, T cells and B cells in humans. It is also found on macrophages, dendritic cells and granulocytes in mice. SLAMF6 is a self-ligand receptor. The homophilic interaction with SLAMF6-expressing cells and engagement of SLAMF6 by antibody-mediated cross-linking or recombinants trigger NK cell cytotoxicity, cytokine production and cell proliferation. In addition, the homophilic interaction of SLAMF6 is involved in CD28 independent T cell co-stimulation, triggering Th1 cytokine production, and regulation of B cell tolerance. After stimulation, phosphorylated SLAMF6 associates with SAP/ SH2D1A and EAT-2/ SH2D1B adaptor proteins. Functional assays demonstrated that SAP is dispensable for SLAMF6-mediated cytotoxicity, but SLAMF6-mediated IFNγ production is impaired in the absence of SAP. In mice, SLAMF6, also called Ly108, plays an important role in CD4+ T cell responses and innate immunity to bacteria and parasites. In SLAMF6-deficient mice, CD4+ T cells and innate responses are defective. The SLAM family of receptors has been implicated in the pathophysiology of autoimmunity. SLAMF6 may censor self-reactive B cells as a potential regulator of tolerance checkpoints, safeguarding against autoimmunity. SLAMF6 is strongly linked to lupus susceptibility in mice and human patients. Therefore, SLAMF6 serves as a regulator of both innate and adaptive immune responses. Engagement of SLAMF6 along with CD3/TCR stimulation induces IL-17 production.

- Source
- Human SLAMF6 (NTB-A), amino acid (Leu28-Lys225) (Accession: # Q96DU3.3), with a linker (GS), a C-terminal human IgG (Pro100-Lys330) an Avi-tag, was expressed in CHO cells. Human SLAMF6-Avi tag was site-specifically biotinylated by enzyme BirA.
- Molecular Mass
- The 446 amino acid recombinant protein has a predicted molecular mass of approximately 50.23 kD. The DTT-reduced and non-reduced protein migrates at approximately 62 – 80 kD and 115 – 140 kD by SDS-PAGE, respectively. The predicted N-terminal amino acid is Leu.
- Purity
- > 95%, as determined by Coomassie stained SDS-PAGE.
- Formulation
- 0.22 µm filtered protein solution is in PBS.
- Endotoxin Level
- Less than 0.1 EU per µg cytokine as determined by the LAL method.
- Concentration
- 25 µg size is bottled at 200 µg/mL. 100 µg size and larger sizes are lot-specific and bottled at the concentration indicated on the vial. To obtain lot-specific concentration and expiration, please enter the lot number in our Certificate of Analysis online tool
- Storage & Handling
- Unopened vial can be stored between 2°C and 8°C for up to 2 weeks, at -20°C for up to six months, or at -70°C or colder until the expiration date. For maximum results, quick spin vial prior to opening. The protein can be aliquoted and stored at -20°C or colder. Stock solutions can also be prepared at 50 - 100 µg/mL in appropriate sterile buffer, carrier protein such as 0.2 - 1% BSA or HSA can be added when preparing the stock solution. Aliquots can be stored between 2°C and 8°C for up to one week and stored at -20°C or colder for up to 3 months. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
- Activity
