特徴

• NF-α is a pleiotropic pro-inflammatory cytokine secreted by various cells, including adipocytes, activated monocytes, macrophages, B cells, T cells and fibroblasts. It belongs to the TNF family of ligands, and signals through two receptors, TNFR1 and TNFR2. TNF-α is cytotoxic to a wide variety of tumor cells, and is an essential factor in mediating the immune response against bacterial infections. TNF-α also plays a role in the induction of septic shock, autoimmune diseases, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammation, and diabetes. Human and murine TNF-α demonstrate significant cross-species reactivity. TNF-α exists in two forms; a type II transmembrane protein, and a mature soluble protein.
• The TNF-α transmembrane protein is proteolitically cleaved to yield a soluble, biologically active, 17kD TNF-α, which forms a non-covalently linked homotrimer in solution.
• Recombinant protein corresponding to mouse TNF-alpha, a soluble 157 amino acid protein (17.3kD) which corresponds to C-terminal extracellular domain of the full length transmembrane protein, expressed in E. coli.
• Biological Activity:Determined by the cytolysis of murine L929 cells in the presence of Actinomyocin D. The expected ED50 is <0.1ng/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of >1x10e7units/mg.
