重悬
Reconstitute in sterile water for a stock solution. Adjust the volume of sterile water so that, after reconstitution, the final stock concentration matches the value indicated on the product label or datasheet.
RECONSTITUTION PROTOCOL
1. Allow the product to be reconstituted and the reconstitution diluent to reach room temperature.
2. Tap or briefly centrifuge the product vial before opening to dislodge any lyophilized material that may be dispersed on the wall or cap of the vial.
3. Use the diluent and stock concentration recommended in the product datasheet. If preparing a stock concentration higher than recommended, contact Technical Service.
4. After adding the diluent, re-cap the vial and invert gently by hand or place on a slow rocking platform to allow the reconstitution diluent to coat all the surfaces inside the vial. Note: Do not mix by vortexing or by pipetting the material up and down.
5. Allow the vial to sit at room temperature with gentle agitation for at least 15 minutes before aliquotting or using.
6. Store the reconstituted material in single use aliquots in polypropylene or siliconized tubes. Aliquots of 10 μL or larger are recommended.
运输
In general, proteins are provided as lyophilized powder/frozen liquid. They are shipped out with dry ice/blue ice unless customers require otherwise.
稳定性和存储
Use a manual defrost freezer and avoid repeated freeze thaw cycles. Store at 2 to 8°C for frequent use. Store at -20 to -80°C for twelve months from the date of receipt.

背景
Defensin-6 (DEFA6) is a ~10 kDa protein. Host-defense peptide that contributes to intestinal innate immunity and mediates homeostasis at mucosal surfaces by forming higher-order oligomers that capture bacteria and prevent microbial invasion of the epithelium. After binding to bacterial surface proteins, undergoes ordered self-assembly to form fibril-like nanonets that surround and entangle bacteria and thereby prevent bacterial invasion across the epithelial barrier. Entangles and agglutinates Gram-negative bacteria, such as E.coli, S.typhimurium and Y.enterocolitica, and Gram-positive bacteria such as L.monocytogenes, thereby protecting the intestine against invasion by enteric bacterial pathogens. Blocks adhesion of C.albicans to intestinal epithelial cells and thereby suppresses fungal invasion of epithelial cells and biofilm formation. Under reducing conditions and in an acidic environment similar to the intestinal milieu, exhibits inhibitory activity against anaerobic bacteria such as B.adolescentis, L.acidophilus and B.breve, as well as B.longum and S.thermophilus, possibly by leading to alterations in bacterial cell envelope structures.
