Rat CXCL12/SDF-1α chemoattracts Ba/F3 - hCXCR4 transfectants in a dose dependent manner. The migrated cells were measured using Deep Blue Cell Viability™ Kit (Cat. No. 424701). The ED50 = 0.02 – 0.1 ng/mL. -
Stability testing for rat CXCL12/SDF-1α. Rat SDF-1α 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/thaws). After this procedure, the samples were tested by their property to chemoattract Ba/F3-hCXCR4 transfectants.

SDF-1 (stromal cell derived factor 1) also known as CXCL12 belongs to the CXCL chemokine family. Six isoforms of SDF-1 has been described: SDF-1α, SDF-1β, SDF-1γ, SDF-1δ, SDF-1ε, SDF-1ϕ. SDF-1 is expressed by many organs, and it is most abundantly expressed in pancreas, spleen, ovary, and small intestine. SDF-1 and its receptor CXCR4 are involved in regulation of migration, survival, and development of multiple cell types, including human hematopoietic CD34+/CD38-/low and stromal STRO-1+ stem cells. Stress-induced modulations in SDF-1 and CXCR4 levels leads to the recruitment of immature and maturing leukocytes from the BM reservoir to damaged organs as part of host defense and repair mechanism. SDF-1/CXCR4 system is involved in the establishment of organ metastasis in different cancers, for example in lymph node metastasis, in breast cancer and oral squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), and peritoneal metastasis in ovarian cancer. SDF-1 also binds to CXCR7, but it does not trigger typical chemokine signal transduction. CXCR7 is a scavenger receptor and regulates the extracellular accessibility of SDF-1. CXCR7 form a dimer with CXCR4 and regulates SDF-1-mediated G protein signaling. CXCR4 and CXCR7 are involved in development as well as in cancer.

- Function
- SDF-1 chemo-attracts peripheral blood T, lamina propia T cells, and B cells. The SDF-1/CXCR4 interaction mobilizes CD34+ progenitors to the peripheral blood and participates in the homing of stem cells to their specific niches. SDF-1-induced proliferation in pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia cells (PanIN). SDF-1 is a constitutive chemokine involved in lung, brain, joint, brain, and intestine inflammation.
- Interaction
- T lymphocytes, B cells, monocytes, macrophages, tissue-committed stem/progenitor cells (TCSCs), mast cells, and vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs).
- Ligand/Receptor
- CXCR4 and CXCR7

• 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)
