Recombinant mouse SLAM/CD150 induces IL-4 in D10.G4.1 cells in the presence of anti-mouse CD3ε (Cat.No. 100313). The ED50 for this effect is 0.13 – 0.75 µg/mL. -
Stability Testing for Recombinant Mouse SLAM/CD150. Recombinant mouse SLAM/CD150 was aliquoted in PBS, pH7 at 0.2 mg/mL.One aliquot was frozen and thawed four times (4x Freeze/Thaws) and compared to the control that was kept at 4°C (control). The samples were tested for their ability to induce IL-4 in D10.G4.1 cells in the presence of anti-mouse CD3ε (Cat.No. 100313). The ED50 for this effect is 0.13 – 0.75 µg/mL.
SLAM, also known as CD150, is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein, belonging to the member of the immunoglobulin superfamily and CD2 family. SLAM is expressed on thymocytes, T cell subsets, B cells, dendritic cells, macrophages, and hematopoietic stem cells. SLAM expression has been shown to be maintained on Th1 but not Th2 clones and at a relatively high level in T regulatory cells. The expression level of SLAM is upregulated in activated T cells and LPS/IFNγ-activated macrophages. It has shown that SLAM is a self-ligand receptor and it is involved in B cell co-stimulation, proliferation, immunoglobulin production, and signal transduction. The cytoplasmic domain of SLAM contains consensus tyrosine motifs, ITSM (immunoreceptor tyrosine-based switch motifs), which function as docking sites and interact with distinct SH2-containing molecules, including some tyrosine phosphatases, kinases, and adaptors. SLAM-associated protein (SAP/SH2D1A), as an adaptor molecule, regulates B cell differentiation. Engagement of SLAM by specific antibodies or soluble/membrane-bound forms of SLAM strongly enhances anti-CD40-induced B cell proliferation and Ig production. SLAM signaling is also important for T cell proliferation, IFN-γ production and Th1 priming. Antibodies against SLAM have been shown to augment IFN-γ production by Th1 cells, especially when co-stimulated through the TCR. SLAM is also required for IL-4 production by GC (germinal centers) T follicular helper cells and for TCR-induced IL-4 production by CD4 T cells. SLAM functions as a microbial sensor to control bacterial phagosomes in macrophages. Additionally, homotypic interactions of SLAM, recruiting SAP and Src kinase Fyn, are also essential for expansion and differentiation of the NKT lineage. Furthermore, SLAM interaction between invariant NKT (iNKT) cells and myeloid dendritic cells, along with antigen-driven TCR stimulation, is required for NKT2 differentiation. In combination with CD48, SLAM is a useful marker for hematopoietic stem cell studies.

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)
