Immobilized recombinant mouse CD99-Fc Chimera at 5 µg/mL binds to His tagged-recombinant mouse PILRα in a dose dependent manner. HRP anti-His Tag (Cat. No. 652504) was used to detect the binding. The ED50 for this effect is 0.3 – 6.0 µg/mL. -
Stability testing for recombinant mouse CD99-Fc Chimera. Recombinant mouse CD99-Fc Chimera was aliquoted in PBS at 0.2 mg/mL and one aliquot was kept at 4°C (Control), and another was frozen and thawed four times (4x Freeze/Thaw). The samples were tested by their ability to bind to His tagged-recombinant mouse PILRα in a dose dependent manner. HRP anti-His Tag (Cat. No. 652504) was used to detect the binding. The ED50 for this effect is 0.3 – 6.0 µg/mL.

Mouse CD99 (mCD99) is a highly O-glycosylated transmembrane protein that is expressed in endothelial cells and various immune cells, including thymocytes, lymphocytes, monocytes, and neutrophils. CD99 is encoded by the pseudoautosomal gene MIC2. This gene is found in the pseudoautosomal region 1 (PAR1) at the end of the short arm of chromosomes X and Y. The mouse CD99 contains 175 amino acid (aa) with a 28 aa signal sequence, a 109 aa extracellular domain (aa 29-137), a 21 aa transmembrane segment (aa 138-158), and a 17 aa cytoplasmic region (aa 159-175). Mouse CD99 shares 45% and 50% aa sequence identity with the human and rat proteins, respectively. As a cellular ligand for the paired immunoglobulin-like type 2 receptors (PILRs), mCD99 is also called paired immunoglobin-like type 2 receptor-ligand (PILR-L). Mouse CD99 binding to mPILRα relies on the recognition of the Sialylated O-linked sugar chains of mouse CD99, widely involved in the regulation of immune responses. In addition, CD99 regulates various crucial biological processes, including cell adhesion, apoptosis, cell differentiation, and especially plays an important role in the transendothelial migration (TEM) of leukocytes, the critical event for inflammation. CD99 not only serves as a robust marker in cancer, but also as a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of cancers. CD99 influences processes and malignancy associated with several tumors. CD99 is frequently overexpressed in Ewing sarcoma (EWS) and specific subtypes of leukemia. The blockade and knockdown of CD99 in EWS tumor cells promote the inhibition of EWS tumor growth and metastasis. CD99 also modulates the expression of heat shock protein 70 (HSP70), thereby promoting natural killer (NK)-cell activity against acute lymphoblastic leukemia cells. In contrast, CD99-forced expression showed a dramatic negative impact on the survival of osteosarcoma cells, likely through the regulation of caveolin-1 and c-Src kinase activity.

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)
