Description

Mouse LAG-3 is a type I transmembrane protein, identified initially in human activated NK cells and T cells. The LAG3 mouse and human genes are localized in chromosome 6 and 12, respectively, and are adjacent to the CD4 gene. LAG-3 is structurally similar to CD4, both have four extracellular immunoglobulin superfamily (IgSF)-like domains; nevertheless, both proteins share only 20% similarity at the amino acid level. LAG-3 expressed in the membrane forms dimers and this dimerization might be necessary to the interaction of LAG-3 and the MHC class II molecule. Soluble forms of LAG-3 have been described as the result of alternative splicing in CD4+ T cells and by proteolytic cleavage in the connecting peptide, that join the extracellular domains to the transmembrane domain, by ADAM10/17 metalloproteinases. It has been suggested that soluble LAG-3 weakens the differentiation of monocytes to macrophages and dendritic cells. Also, soluble LAG-3 may be useful as a prognostic biomarker in patients with active tuberculosis, since detection of LAG-3 in serum is associated with a favorable prognosis. Tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) express high levels of LAG-3 and PD-1 and both inhibitory receptors act synergistically to regulate T cell function and promote tumor immune escape.

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)
