Description
SLAMF6, also known as NTB-A, is one of the members in the CD2/CD150 subfamily. SLAMF6 is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein and it is expressed on NK cells, T cells, and B cells in humans. It is also found on macrophages, dendritic cells, and granulocytes in mice. SLAMF6 is a self-ligand receptor. The homophilic interaction with SLAMF6-expressing cells and engagement of SLAMF6 by antibody-mediated cross-linking or recombinants trigger NK cell cytotoxicity, cytokine production, and cell proliferation. In addition, the homophilic interaction of SLAMF6 is involved in CD28 independent T cell co-stimulation, triggering Th1 cytokine production, and regulation of B cell tolerance. After stimulation, phosphorylated SLAMF6 associates with SAP/ SH2D1A and EAT-2/ SH2D1B adaptor proteins. Functional assays demonstrate that SAP is dispensable for SLAMF6-mediated cytotoxicity, but SLAMF6-mediated IFN-γ production is impaired in the absence of SAP. In mice, SLAMF6, also called Ly108, plays an important role in CD4+ T cell responses and innate immunity to bacteria and parasites. In Ly108-deficient mice, CD4+ T cells and innate responses are defective. The SLAM family of receptors has been implicated in the pathophysiology of autoimmunity. Ly108 may censor self-reactive B cells as a potential regulator of tolerance checkpoints, safeguarding against autoimmunity. Besides, SLAMF6 is strongly linked to lupus susceptibility in mice and human patients. Therefore, Ly108 serves as a regulator of both innate and adaptive immune responses. Engagement of SLAMF6 along with CD3/TCR stimulation induces IL-17 production.

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)
