Human CD38-coupled Magnetic Beads

CD antigen CD38 is also known as ADP-ribosyl cyclase 1, which belongs to the ADP-ribosyl cyclase family. CD38 is expressed at high levels in pancreas, liver, kidney, brain, testis, ovary, placenta, malignant lymphoma and neuroblastoma. CD38 is a multifunctional ectoenzyme that catalyzes the synthesis and hydrolysis of cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR) from NAD+ to ADP-ribose. These reaction products are essential for the regulation of intracellular Ca2+. The loss of CD38 function is associated with impaired immune responses, metabolic disturbances, and behavioral modifications. The CD38 protein is a marker of cell activation. It has been connected to HIV infection, leukemias, myelomas, solid tumors, type II diabetes mellitus and bone metabolism. CD38 has been used as a prognostic marker in leukemia.

Upon receipt, please store the Beads at -20°C. The shelf life is 1 year at -20 °C. Please avoid more than 3 freeze-thaw cycles once reconstitution, immediate use after reconstitution is highly recommended.

Antibody Purification: 1. Resuspend the lyophilized beads by adding the buffer of choice. 2. Add analyte to the suspension, mix and incubate to enable specific binding of the beads and the target protein. 3. Magnetize beads, remove supernatant, and wash unbound protein fractions to capture target protein-bound beads. 4. Wash, magnetize the beads and collect purified target protein for use in downstream applications.
