Descrizione

General description

Albumin, Bovine Serum, Fraction V, Fatty Acid-Poor, Endotoxin-Free is designed for use in cell culture systems and animal perfusion studies. It has a pH of 7.0 (1% solution).

Bovine serum albumin (BSA), a member of the serum albumin family,[1] contains three domains and two sub-domains under each. It is a non-glycosylated globular, α-helical protein that has 17-disulfide bonds.[2][1]

Application

Albumin, Bovine Serum, Fraction V, Fatty Acid-Poor, Endotoxin-Free has been used in the preparation of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs).[3] It has also been used to dilute lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and in the stimulation and fixation of whole blood cells.[4]

Biochem/physiol Actions

Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) is the most important constituent of cell culture media. It aids embryonic stem cells (hESC) differentiation.[5] BSA facilitates the transport of drugs, hormones, and fatty acids.[2] It elicits high solubility and is suitable in the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries.[6] It is applicable as a blocking agent in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).[7]

Preparation Note

Following reconstitution, store in the refrigerator (4°C). 0.1% NaN₃ may be added as a preservative. Stock solutions are stable for up to 3 months at 4°C.
