Carrier Free

What does CF mean?

CF stands for Carrier Free (CF). We typically add Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) as a carrier protein to our recombinant proteins. Adding a carrier protein enhances protein stability, increases shelf-life, and allows the recombinant protein to be stored at a more dilute concentration. The carrier free version does not contain BSA.

What formulation is right for me?

In general, we advise purchasing the recombinant protein with BSA for use in cell or tissue culture, or as an ELISA standard. In contrast, the carrier free protein is recommended for applications, in which the presence of BSA could interfere.

Background: IGF-II/IGF2

Insulin-like growth factor I (also known as somatomedin C and somatomedin A) and insulin-like growth factor II (multiplication stimulating activity or MSA) belong to the family of insulin-like growth factors that are structurally homologous to proinsulin. Mature IGF-I and IGF-II share approximately 70% sequence identity. Both IGF-I and IGF-II are expressed in many tissues and cell types and may have autocrine, paracrine and endocrine functions. Mature IGF-I and IGF-II are highly conserved (100% identity between human, bovine and porcine proteins) and exhibit cross-species activity.

IGF-II is a potent mitogenic growth factor. However, unlike IGF-I which has important postnatal roles, the growth-promoting function of IGF-II is limited to embryonic development.

Two specific cell surface receptors that bind IGF-I and IGF-II have been identified. The type I IGF receptor that participates in IGF signaling is structurally related to the insulin receptor. It is a disulfide-linked heterotetrameric transmembrane glycoprotein with an intracellular tyrosine kinase domain. Type I IGF receptor binds IGF-I with higher affinity than IGF-II. The type II IGF receptor which binds IGF-II with much higher affinity than IGF-I is also the cation-independent mannose 6-phosphate receptor. At the present time, it is not known if the type II IGF receptor participates in the IGF signaling pathway. An additional unknown receptor which mediates IGF‑II signaling has also been proposed. Circulating IGFs exist in complexes bound to IGF binding proteins. Currently, at least six high affinity binding proteins have been identified.

Recombinant Human IGF-II Protein, CF
By Anonymous on 08/03/2016
Application: Binding inhibition assay. I used it as a competitor to saturate the IGF2 binding site to block the IGF2 receptor-mediated endocytosis.

Cells were seeded in 12-well plates and grown to confluence. Culture medium was replaced with 0.5 ml of EMEM without serum prior to the addition of uptake inhibitors. 5 µg/ml recombinant human IGF-II (R&D Systems; Minneapolis, MN) was applied to the cells for 10 minutes prior to applying purified rhNAGLU-IGF-II at a final concentration of 160 units/ml. Following 4 hours incubation at 37°C and 5% CO2, cells were harvested and intracellular NAGLU activity was measured as described above. The enzyme activity measured in MPS IIIB fibroblasts with rhNAGLU-IGF-II treatment alone was defined as 100% and the intracellular enzyme activity observed in the presence of inhibitor was normalized to rhNAGLU-IGF-II activity. (Biochem J. 2014 458(2):281-9.)
