Other Performance Data: Endotoxin Level: Measured by kinetic LAL analysis and is typically ≤ 1 EU/μg protein. Biologic Activity: The activity is determined by a RPMI-8226 cell survival assay in the presence of 0.2 μM DEX and is typically less than 30 ng/mL.
Physical State: Lyophilized
Purity and Specificity: BAFF purity was determined to be greater than 90% as determined by analysis by HpLC, UV-Spectroscopy at 280nm, and by reducing and non-reducing SDS-pAGE.
Background: Human B cell Activating Factor (BAFF), is a Type II member of the TNF superfamily. Although it is typically a transmembrane protein expressed on T cells, macrophages and dendritic cells, it can also be cleaved in the extracellular region to produce a soluble form detectable in the serum. BAFF is thought to be important for the survival and maturation of peripheral B cells. BAFF initiates signaling through three receptors with human BAFF having activity on mouse splenocytes. Recombinant human BAFF is a non-glycosylated protein containing a N terminal His tag, a thrombin cut site and 153 amino acids of the TNF-like domain. This protein has a total molecular weight of 18.5 kDa.
