When recombinant mouse CD99 is immobilized at 5 μg/mL, recombinant mouse PILRα binds in a dose-dependent manner. The EC50 range for this effect is 1.5 - 6 µg/mL. HRP anti-His Tag antibody (Cat. No. 652503) was used to detect the binding. -
Recombinant mouse PILRα was aliquoted in PBS at 0.2 mg/mL. One aliquot was frozen and thawed four times (4x Freeze/Thaw), and compared to a control kept at 4⁰C (Control). The samples were tested in a binding assay with recombinant mouse CD99.

Paired receptors are transmembrane-anchored proteins that belong to two major families: the C-type lectin family and the immunoglobulin-like superfamily (IgSF). Paired receptors are characterized by one receptor transducing inhibitory signals, and its activating counterpart transducing activating signals. The paired immunoglobulin-like type 2 receptors (PILRs) are comprised of the inhibitory receptor PILRα, and the activating receptor PILRβ. PILRα is a monomeric 44 kDa glycoprotein, bearing one extracellular V-set Ig-like domain [amino acid (aa) 32-198] and two immunoreceptor tyrosine based inhibitory motifs (ITIMs) in its long cytoplasmic domain (motif 1: aa 265-270; motif 2: aa 294-299). PILRα is an inhibitory receptor for cellular ligand CD99 and its binding to CD99 depends on the recognition of the Sialylated O-linked sugar chains on CD99. PILRα is widely involved in the regulation of immune responses. In addition to CD99, the PILR-associating neural protein (PANP), neural proliferation differentiation and control protein 1 (NPDC1), and collectin-12 (COLEC12) are also ligands for PILRα. PILRα is well-conserved among most mammals and mainly expressed on immune cells, including macrophages, dendritic cells, and granulocytes. PILRα shares 42% and 50% aa sequence identity with the human and rat proteins, respectively. PILRα plays a critical role in herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) infection by associating with glycoprotein B. PILRα negatively regulates neutrophil infiltration and production of several proinflammatory cytokines during inflammation. PILRα also has been implicated in the prevention of obesity, liver fibrosis, and the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease and autoimmune arthritis.

• Learn more about our Recombinant Proteins. - 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)
