Product Specs

Introduction
CD7, also known as T-cell antigen CD7, is a transmembrane glycoprotein classified as a type I molecule. It is present on cells involved in hematopoietic potential, the majority of thymocytes in humans, and a subset of T cells circulating in peripheral blood. Under specific physiological circumstances, a fraction of human T cells lack the CD7 molecule. An increase in the population of CD7-negative T cells is observed in various inflammatory skin disorders.
Description
Recombinant human CD7, produced in E. coli, is a single polypeptide chain that lacks glycosylation. It consists of 178 amino acids, spanning from position 26 to 180, resulting in a molecular weight of 18.8 kDa. A 23-amino acid His-tag is fused to the N-terminus of the CD7 protein. Purification is achieved through proprietary chromatographic methods.
Physical Appearance
A clear and colorless solution that has been sterilized by filtration.
Formulation
The CD7 protein solution has a concentration of 1 mg/ml and is formulated in a buffer containing 20mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.0), 0.4M Urea, and 10% glycerol.
Stability
For optimal storage, keep the CD7 protein at 4°C if the entire vial will be used within 2-4 weeks. For extended storage, freeze the protein at -20°C. Adding a carrier protein like HSA or BSA (0.1%) is recommended for long-term storage. To maintain protein integrity, avoid repeated cycles of freezing and thawing.
Purity
The purity of the CD7 protein is determined to be greater than 90% based on SDS-PAGE analysis.
Synonyms
T-cell antigen CD7, GP40, LEU-9, Tp40, TP41, CD7, T-cell leukemia antigen, T-cell surface antigen Leu-9.

Product Science Overview

Structure and Function

The mature human CD7 protein consists of:

  • A 155 amino acid extracellular domain (ECD)
  • A 21 amino acid transmembrane segment
  • A 39 amino acid cytoplasmic domain

Within the extracellular domain, human CD7 shares 43% and 41% amino acid sequence identity with mouse and rat CD7, respectively . The protein plays a crucial role in T-cell interactions and signaling, contributing to the immune response.

Recombinant Human CD7

Recombinant human CD7 is produced using human embryonic kidney (HEK293) cells . The recombinant protein typically includes a polyhistidine tag at the C-terminus for purification purposes . The secreted recombinant human CD7 consists of 166 amino acids and has a predicted molecular mass of 18 kilodaltons . However, due to glycosylation, it migrates with an apparent molecular mass of 30-35 kilodaltons in SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions .

Applications

Recombinant human CD7 is used in various research applications, including:

  • Functional ELISA assays to measure binding ability
  • Flow cytometric analysis to study T-cell interactions and signaling
Stability and Storage

Recombinant human CD7 is typically lyophilized from a sterile PBS solution and can be reconstituted for use . It is stable for up to twelve months when stored at -20°C to -80°C under sterile conditions . It is recommended to avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles to maintain protein integrity .
