TRAIL, Human, Recombinant, NSO cells

Recombinant, human TRAIL (amino acids 95-281) with an amino-terminal 6X histidine tag and expressed in NSO cells. A type II transmembrane protein with a C-terminal extracellular domain that exhibits homology to other members of this tumor necrosis factor (TNF) family. Displays potent anti-tumor activity against selected targets. Induces apoptosis in a number of transformed cell lines but not in normal tissues. Recombinant bioactive TRAIL is a non-disulfide-linked homotrimer but may contain a small amount (up to 10%) of disulfide-linked homodimers.

ED₅₀ = 4-12 ng/ml as measured by its ability to induce cytotoxicity in mouse L-929 cell line in the presence of metabolic inhibitors actinomycin D

Lyophilized from sterile-filtered PBS, 50 µg BSA/µg TRAIL, pH 7.4.

Following reconstitution, refrigerate (4°C) for short-term storage or aliquot and freeze (-20°C or -70°C) for long-term storage. Stock solutions are stable for up to 1 month at 4°C or up to 3 months at -20°C or -70°C. Avoid freeze/thaw cycles of solutions.

Reconstitute to ≥20 µg/ml in sterile PBS, 0.1% BSA.
