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: IL-36 beta/IL-1F8
Mouse interleukin‑36 beta [IL-36 beta ; previously IL‑1F8, FIL‑1 eta (eta) and IL‑1H2] is a member of the IL‑1 family of proteins that includes IL‑1 beta, IL‑1 alpha, IL‑1ra, IL‑18, IL‑36Ra/IL‑1F5, IL‑36 alpha /IL‑1F6, IL‑37/IL‑1F7, IL‑36 gamma /IL‑1F9 and IL‑1F10 (1 ‑ 6). All family members show a 12 beta ‑stranded beta ‑trefoil configuration, share up to 50% amino acid (aa) sequence identity, and are believed to have arisen from a common ancestral gene (3, 4). Although two alternatively spliced transcript variants for human IL‑36 beta /IL‑1F8 have been described, to date, only one mouse IL‑36 beta /IL‑1F8 isoform is known (3). Mouse IL‑36 beta /IL‑1F8 is synthesized as a 183 amino acid (aa) protein that contains no signal sequence, no prosegment and no potential N‑linked glycosylation site(s) (1, 2). Mouse IL‑36 beta /IL‑1F8 shares 61% and 74% aa identity with human IL‑36 beta isoform 2 and rat IL‑36 beta, respectively. IL‑36 beta is agonistic, stimulating release of inflammatory mediators such as IL‑6 and IL‑8, and cytotoxic peptides such as beta-defensins 2 and 3 that aid in defense against microbial pathogens (7‑10). The receptor for IL-36 proteins is IL‑1 Rrp2, with IL‑1 RAcP as a coreceptor (7, 9). Antagonism of IL‑36 proteins by IL‑36Ra, which also binds IL‑1 Rrp2, has been shown by some investigators (5, 6). Skin keratinocytes express highest levels of IL‑36 proteins and their receptors, followed by epithelia in the esophagus, trachea and bronchae (7 ‑ 9). IL‑36 beta expression is increased in psoriatic skin and may play a role in pathogenesis of psoriasis (7, 8). IL‑36 beta is also expressed in resting and activated monocytes and B cells, synovial fibroblasts, neurons and glia, and is detectable in plasma and body fluids (1, 7, 9, 11). IL‑36 beta, along with IL‑36 alpha and IL‑36 gamma, is up‑regulated by IL‑1 alpha and TNF‑ alpha in keratinocytes, and has been shown to activate NF‑ kappa B and MAPK signaling pathways in an IL‑1 Rrp2‑dependent manner (7‑9). Full‑length recombinant IL‑36 proteins appear less active than their endogenous counterparts, but trimming of the N‑termini enhances their activity (9, 12).
