When Recombinant Human Galectin-3 is immobilized at 2 µg/mL, Recombinant Human CEACAM-8/CD66b binds in a dose dependent manner with EC50 of 50 – 200 ng/mL. -
Stability testing for Human CEACAM-8/CD66b. Human CEACAM-8/CD66b was aliquoted in PBS, pH 7.2 at 0.2 mg/mL. One aliquot was frozen and thawed four times (4x Freeze/Thaws), and compared to a control kept at 4°C (Control). The samples were tested for their ability to bind Recombinant Human Galectin-3.

CEACAM-8, also known as CD66b and CD67, is a GPI-linked protein belonging to the immunoglobulin superfamily, carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA)-like subfamily. A homolog of CEACAM-8 has not been identified in rodents. CEACAM-8 is exclusively expressed on human granulocytes, including neutrophils and eosinophils, and is characterized as a granulocyte activation marker. CEACAM-8 is mainly found in secondary granules with low amounts on cell the surface. Upon activation of granulocytes with various stimuli, CEACAM-8 is rapidly upregulated and released from intracellular granules, leading to a high level of expression on the plasma membrane. CEACAM-8 has been reported to be involved in immune response, leukocyte migration, cell adhesion and degranulation. Engagement of CEACAM-8 with Galectin-3 activates a Src kinase, Hck, inducing cell adhesion and degranulation. In addition, CEACAM-8 constitutively associates integrin β2 and CD11b in lipid rafts, regulating cell adhesion and activation of eosinophils. CEACAM-8 can specifically bind CEACAM-6 (CD66c) through their Ig-like V-type domain in calcium-independent manner. The interaction of CEACAM-8 and CEACAM-6 mediates heterophilic cell adhesion.

- 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
- When human Galectin-3 (Cat. No. 599704) is immobilized at 2 µg/mL, human CEACAM-8/CD66b binds with EC50 of 50 - 200 ng/mL in a functional ELISA.

• Learn more about our Recombinant Proteins. - How does the activity of your recombinant proteins compare to competitors?
-
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)
