Host Species | Human |
Synonym | TNF-alpha, Tumor necrosis factor ligand superfamily member 2, TNF-a, Cachectin, DIF, TNFA, TNFSF2. |
Background | Tumor necrosis factor is a cytokine involved in systemic inflammation and is a member of a group of cytokines that all stimulate the acute phase reaction. TNF is mainly secreted by macrophages. TNF causes apoptotic cell death, cellular proliferation, differentiation, inflammation, tumorigenesis and viral replication, TNF is also involved in lipid metabolism, and coagulation. TNF's primary role is in the regulation of immune cells.Dysregulation and, in particular, overproduction of TNF have been implicated in a variety of human diseases- autoimmune diseases, INS resistance, and cancer. |
Description | Tumor Necrosis Factor-a Human Recombinant expressed in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 158a.a. (157 a.a. of the mature human TNF-alpha and an N-terminal methionine) and having a molecular weight of 17.5kDa. The TNF-alpha is purified by standard chromatographic techniques. |

Endotoxin | <1.0 EU per μg by the LAL method. |
Bioactivity | The Specific Activity is >5.0x107 IU/mg as determined by the cytolysis of murine L929 cells in the presence of Actinomycin D. |
Formulation | TNF-a Human was lyophilized from a concentrated 1mg/ml solution containing 20mM PB, pH-7.2, and 100mM NaCl. |
Stability | Recombinant protein is stable for 12 months at -70°C |
Usage | For Research Use Only |
Storage | Lyophilized Tumor Necrosis Factor-a although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution TNF-a should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C.For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |
