Additional Information
Synthetic hBD-4 exhibits a selective, salt-sensitive spectrum of antimicrobial activity, and it represents one of the most active antimicrobial peptides against Pseudomonas aeruginosa (minimal inhibitory concentration: 4.1 μg/ml) known to date. This defensin is chemotactic for human blood monocytes, but it is inactive on neutrophils and eosinophils.

Storage Guidelines
Ideally Human beta defensin 4 (hBD-4) peptide should be stored in a freezer at or below -9C. Human beta defensin 4 (hBD-4) peptide should be refrigerated after reconstitution. For more details, please refer to the manual:Handling and Storage of Synthetic Peptides

About TFA salt
Trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) is a strong acid, which is commonly used to cleave synthesized peptides from solid-phase resins and is also used to improve HPLC performance in the peptide purification step. By default, custom peptides are delivered as lyophilized TFA salts, and can contain as much as 10-45% TFA.
TFA in custom peptides can cause inexplicable discrepancies in subsequent assay data. For instance, TFA in nM concentrations has been shown to interfere with cellular assays, inhibiting cellular proliferation in some instances, and increasing cell viability in others . It has also been found to be an unintended allosteric modulator of the glycine receptor, GlyR.
TFA Removal Service is recommended for:
- Peptides that will be used in cellular assays
- Peptides that will be used as APIs or in manufactured products
- For hydrophilic peptides containing numerous basic residues
