Application: | TNF-α causes selective necrosis of murine tumors when injected into tumor-bearing mice. In vitro, human TNF-α has direct cytolytic or cytostatic activity on certain transformed cells. In this context, it acts synergistically with interferon-γ. It has also been used for cell stimulation studies. |
General description: | Recombinant murine TNF-α is produced in E. coli and purified by standard chromatographic techniques. Contents: 5 μg/ml solution in PBS and 1 mg/ml BSA, filtered through a 0.2 μm pore size membrane |
Other Notes: | For life science research only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures. |
Preparation Note: | Storage conditions (working solution): -15 to -25 °C The solution can be stored in aliquots at -15 to -25 °C. Note: Avoid repeated freezing and thawing. |
Quality: | Purity: >95% (SDS-PAGE) Endotoxin level: <0.1 EU/μg (LAL-test), <10 EU/ml (LAL-test) Note: 1 EU corresponds to 0.1 ng |
Sequence: | Chain Length 156 AA |
Sequence: | One polypeptide chain (156 amino acids) identical to natural mTNF-α, but not glycosylated. Glycosylation is not essential for biological activity. |
Specifications: | Primary structure: One polypeptide chain (156 amino acids) identical to natural mTNF-a, but not glycosylated. Glycosylation is not essential for biological activity. |
Specificity: | Mouse mTNF-α is effective on mouse, rat, rabbit, and human cells. Specific activity/EC50: >4 x 108 U/mg, <0.0025 ng/ml (mTNF-a, NIBSC, interim standard, 88/532), at least the same specific activity (EC50) compared to the indicated standard is guaranteed. |
Unit Definition: | EC50 definition: The amount of mTNF-α that is required to mediate half-maximal cytotoxicity (MTT cleavage) with WEHI 164 cells in the presence of actinomycin D (1 unit equals ≤0.0025 ng/ml). |
