CRMP-1 promoter/GFP Reporter Cells                

Cat. No. PCE001

 Cell

Contents

       Human lung adenocarcinoma cell A549 was transfected stably with the DNA construct, EGFP-hcrmp1, containing 1.9 kb of promoter region of CRMP-1 gene and the reporter (GFP) gene.  The promoter fragment was inserted into the multiple cloning site of pEGFP-1 plasmid (BD Biosciences; Ref. 1).

Product Information

      CRMP-1 promoter/GFP Reporter Cells are homogenous and show proportional increase of fluorescent intensity (Figure 2) during cell growth (Figure 1).  Microscopic analysis indicates that at least over 90% of GFP-expressing cells deliver detectable fluorescent signal (Figure 3).

   Figure 3: Microscopic Images.

(Suspension)              

  (adherent Cells)  

Applications

       Screening for agents or compounds, which could induce the expression of hCRMP-1.  The increase of GFP signal after treatment of CRMP-1 promoter/GFP Reporter Cells indirectly means the up-regulation of hCRMP-1 level.  This system will be very suitable for screening active agents, which might be involved in the regulation or related pathways.

Background information

       Human CRMP-1 was reported as “a lung cancer invasion suppressor gene with nerve” (Ref. 2).  Recent discovery showed that the level of expression of the gene encoding CRMP-1 inversely affects cancer invasion and metastasis, (i.e., the higher the level of expression, the lower the incidence of cancer invasion and metastasis) and thus characterized the CRMP-1 gene as an invasion-suppression gene (Ref. 3-5).  Further analysis of around 50 cases of clinical lung tissue samples using real time-quantitative PCR techniques found that low-expression patients of CRMP-1 had more advanced diseases and lymph node metastases, while high-expression patients of CRMP-1 had a significantly longer disease-free and overall survival period.  “CRMP-1 as an excellent target for lung cancer” was interpreted by the web “bioportfolio” (Ref. 6).

Recombinant hCRMP-1, E. coli / Antigen    

Cat. No. PR001

 rec. protein

Protein ID

        Amino acid sequence of purified protein was confirmed by LC/MS/MS analysis and following mapping using search type of MS/MS Ion Search (http://www.matrixscience.com/search_form_select.html).

Applications

          SDS-PAGE, Western Blot, ELISA

Background information

    Human collapsin response mediator protein-1 (hCRMP-1), also named as dihydropyrimidinase related protein-1 (DRP-1), is a 62 kDa phosphoprotein.  hCRMP-1 was originally discovered in the brain tissue and thought to be a brain specific protein involved in the collapsin-induced growth cone collapse during neural development (Ref. 1).

Human CRMP-1 was reported as “a lung cancer invasion suppressor gene with nerve” (Ref. 2).  Recent discovery showed that the level of expression of the gene encoding hCRMP-1 inversely affects cancer invasion and metastasis, (i.e., the higher the level of expression, the lower the incidence of cancer invasion and metastasis) and thus characterized the CRMP-1 gene as an invasion-suppression gene (Ref. 3-5).  Further analysis of around 50 cases of clinical lung tissue samples using real time-quantitative PCR techniques found that low-expression patients of CRMP-1 had more advanced diseases and lymph node metastases, while high-expression patients of CRMP-1 had a significantly longer disease-free and overall survival period.  “CRMP-1 as an excellent target for lung cancer” was interpreted by the web “bioportfolio” (Ref. 6).

SPOT Buffer for Arraying & Stabilizing of Protein Array  

Cat. No. RG001

 

Reagents

Content

        Phosphate buffer-based system containing additional protein-stabilizing component. 

Applications

        Suitable for manufacturing membrane-based protein array, e.g. antibody array.

Advantages:One solution for two functions - Spotting and Conservation

  •   Manufacture process of protein arrays can be reduced.  Once protein spotted or printed using the SPOT buffer, all these proteins could be preserved in dry form.  

  • Stabilizing effect: Proteins spotted/immobilized on membrane-based substrate are full active after at least 1.5 years storage at room temperature.  

 

*** Stability Tests of SPOT Buffer ***

1. Storage environments:  (1) 25℃, 60% humidity; (2) 4℃

2. Sandwich-based Assay:

  • Capture antibody: monoclonal anti-mouse IL2 antibody

  • Antigen: mouse IL2 recombinant protein

  • Detection antibody: Biotin-labeled monoclonal anti-mouse IL2 antibody

3. Normalization of Assay Data: (I: Intensity)

       I spot (stored at 25°C)/ I spot (stored at 4°C)
