The antibody was purified by affinity chromatography, and conjugated with PE under optimal conditions. The solution is free of unconjugated PE and unconjugated antibody.
Granulysin is a member of the saposin-like protein family of lipid binding proteins (SAPLIP). It is expressed by NK cells and cytolytic T lymphocytes (CTL) as 9 kD and 15 kD forms. The 9 kD form is derived from the 15 kD form by cleavage at both amino- and carboxy-termini. Granulysin has broad cytolytic activities against a variety of tumor cells and microbes, including Gram-positive and -negative bacteria, fungi and parasites. It also functions as a chemoattractant for inflammatory cells and activates the cells expression of cytokines and chemokines.
