Tumor Necrosis Factor; TNFSF2; Cachectin; Differentiation-inducing factor; DIF; Necrosin; Cytotoxin


Purity    

>98% by SDS-PAGE and HPLC analyses.


Biological Activity    

Fully biologically active when compared to standard. The ED50 as determined by a cytotoxicity assay using murine L929 cells is less than 0.05ng/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of >2.0×10^7IU/mg in the presence of actinomycin D.


Physical Appearance    

Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.


Formulation    

Lyophilized from a 0.2µM filtered concentrated solution in 10mM PB, 10mM NaCl, pH7.0.


Endotoxin    

Less than 0.01EU/µg of rHuTNF-α/TNFSF2 GMP as determined by LAL method.


Reconstitution    

We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Reconstitute in sterile distilled water or aqueous buffer containing 0.1% BSA to a concentration of 0.1-1.0mg/ml. Stock solutions should be apportioned into working aliquots and stored at ≤-20℃. Further dilutions should be made in appropriate buffered solutions.

Background    

Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), also called cachectin, is the best-know member of the TNF-family, which can cause cell death. This protein is produced by neutrophils, activated lymphocytes, macrophages, NK cells, LAK cells, astrocytes endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells and some transformed cells. TNF-α occurs as a secreted, soluble form and as a membrane-anchored form, both of which are biologically active. The naturally-occurring form of TNF-α is glycosylated, but non-glycosylated recombinant TNF-α has comparable biological activity. The biologically active native form of TNF-α is reportedly a trimer. Human and murine TNF-α show approximately 79% homology at the amino acid level and cross-reactivity between the two species. Two types of receptors for TNF-α have been described and virtually all cell types studied show the presence of one or both of these receptor types.
