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℃ for 48h, and no obvious degradation and precipitation were observed. The loss rate isless than 8% within the expiration date under appropriate storage condition.
-
Storage & Shelf Life
Samples are stable for up to twelve months from date of receipt at -20℃ to -80℃. Store it under sterile conditions at -20℃ to -80℃. It is recommended that the protein be aliquoted for optimal storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
-
Shipping
In general, recombinant proteins are supplied as lyophilized powder and shipped at ambient temperature. For bulk packages, the proteins are provided as frozen liquid and shipped with blue ice, unless otherwise requested by the customer.

Protein Description
CTEN, or Cancer/Testis Expressed Gene 1, is a member of the cancer/testis antigen family, which is primarily expressed in testicular germ cells and various malignancies, particularly in tumors of non-germline origin. The expression of CTEN in tumor tissues, coupled with its limited presence in normal adult tissues (except for the testis), has positioned it as an attractive target for cancer immunotherapy. Research has highlighted its involvement in tumorigenesis and immune evasion, making CTEN a point of interest for both basic and translational research. The recombinant expression of CTEN protein facilitates the study of its structure, function, and potential as a biomarker or therapeutic target. Techniques such as yeast or mammalian cell expression systems are utilized to produce CTEN in sufficient quantities, allowing for the development of monoclonal antibodies and vaccination strategies aimed at eliciting an immune response against CTEN-expressing tumors. Understanding the immunogenicity and biological activity of CTEN can provide insights into its role in cancer progression and open avenues for novel therapeutic interventions.
