Galectin 9 (GAL9) Active Protein | GAL9 active protein
Active Galectin 9 (GAL9)
Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
Store at 2-8 degree C for one month.
Aliquot and store at -80 degree C for 12 months.
Stability Test:
The thermal stability is described by the loss rate. The loss rate was determined by accelerated thermal degradation test, that is, incubate the protein at 37 degree C for 48h, and no obvious degradation and precipitation were observed. The loss rate is less than 5% within the expiration date under appropriate storage condition.
Application Data
(GAL9 also can induce cellular apoptosis. To test the effect of GAL9 on cell apoptosis, Jurkat cells were seeded into 96-well plates at a density of 5,000 cells/well with 2% serum standard RPMI 1640 including various concentrations of recombinant human GAL9. After incubated for 48 h, cells were observed by inverted microscope and cell proliferation was measured by Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8). Briefly, 20 uL of CCK-8 solution was added to each well of the plate, then the absorbance at 450 nm was measured using a microplate reader after incubating the plate for 4 h at 37 degree C. Proliferation of Jurkat cells after incubation with GAL9 for 48 h observed by inverted microscope was shown in Figure 3. Cell viability was assessed by CCK-8 assay after incubation with recombinant human GAL9 for 48 h. The result was shown in Figure 4. It was obvious that GAL9 significantly inhibit cell viability of Jurkat cells. The ED50 is 1.64 ug/mL.Inhibition of Jurkat cells proliferation after stimulated with GAL9(A) Jurkat cells cultured in RPMI 1640, stimulated with 2.5ug/mL GAL9 for 48h;(B) Unstimulated Jurkat cells cultured in RPMI 1640 for 48h.)
Activity
(Galectin 9 (GAL9) is a member of the Beta-galactoside-binding galectin family. Galectin-9 is found outside of cells and may be exported by non-classical pathways. Galectin 9 exhibits a variety of biological activities, the majority of which have focused on its immunomodulatory role toward lymphocytes, were it shows specific interactions with TIM-3, and can negatively regulate Th1 type immunity. It also can agglutinate red blood. In this case, we chose rabbit erythrocyte (RaE) to assay its ability of agglutination. A general procedure for hemagglutination assay (or haemagglutination assay; HA) is as follows, two-fold dilute the recombinant human GAL9 with 0.01M PBS(pH7.4), add 50ul a serial dilution of GAL9 to each well of a U or V- bottom shaped 96-well microtiter plate. The final well serves as a negative control with no GAL9, replace with 50uL 0.01M PBS. Then add 50uL 1% rabbit erythrocyte to each well and mixed gently. The plate is incubated for 1-2 hours at room temperature. The results are shown in Figure 1. It was obvious that the minimal effective concentration of GAL9 is 1.5ug/mL.Figure 1.The hemagglutination of recombinant human GAL9(A) Rabbit erythrocyte agglutinated by recombinant human GAL9;(B) Rabbit erythrocyte without recombinant human GAL9.)

Product Notes
The GAL9 lgals9 (Catalog #AAA21103) is an Active Protein produced from E. coli and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The Active Galectin 9 (GAL9) reacts with Homo sapiens (Human) and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's Galectin 9 (GAL9) can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Cell culture; Activity Assays. (May be suitable for use in other assays to be determined by the end user.). Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the GAL9 lgals9 for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Galectin 9 (GAL9), Active Protein" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
