产品名称：BD 1 Mouse

The Defensin family are highly similar in their protein sequence and are microbicidal & cytotoxic peptides made by neutrophils. Beta Defensin-1 is an antimicrobial peptide having the resistance of epithelial surfaces to microbial colonization. Beta Defensin-1 has close proximity to Defensin Alpha-1 and has been implicated in the pathogenesis of cystic fibrosis.
Skin of patients having atopic dermatitis patients and mycosis fungoides (non-lesional and lesional) show lower human Beta Defensin-1 mRNA expression and higher human Beta Defensin-2 and human Beta Defensin-3 mRNA expression.
Beta Defensin is highly expressed by epithelial cells.
Beta-defensin 1 may play a role in the pathogenesis of severe sepsis.

BD 1 Mouse Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 37 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 4.1 KDa. The BD 1 Mouse is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Physical Appearance: Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.

Formulation: Lyophilized from a 0.2µm filtered concentrated solution in PBS, pH7.4.

Solubility: It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Mouse BD-1 in sterile 18M-cm H2O not less than 100µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.
Stability: Lyophilized Mouse BD 1 although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution BD 1 should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C.
For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HAS or BSA).
Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles

Biological Activity: Measured by its ability to chemoattract CD34+ dendritic cells using a concentration range of 0.1-1.0 ug/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of 1,000-10,000units/mg.

Usage: ProSpec's products are furnished for LABORATORY RESEARCH USE ONLY. The product may not be used as drugs, agricultural or pesticidal products, food additives or household chemicals.
