Swine recombinant TNF alpha (Tumor necrosis factor alpha) protein, AF

About this product

Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF alpha) stimulates the acute phase of the immune response. In response to a pathogen, TNF alpha is one of the first to be released and can apply its effects in many organs. TNF alpha stimulates the release of corticotropic releasing hormone, suppresses appetite, and induces fever, in the hypothalamus. TNF increase vasodilation and loss of vascular permeability, it helps recruit lymphocyte, neutrophil, and monocyte to the inflammation site by regulating chemokine release.

Applications

Cell Culture

Purification

>98% as determined by SDS-PAGE.

Endotoxin

<0.1 EU per 1 μg of the protein by the LAL method.

Bioactivity

Measure by its ability to induce cytotoxicity in PK15 cells in the presence of the actinomycin D. The ED50 for this effect is <15 pg/mL.

Form

The protein was lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution containing 1X PBS, pH 7.4. If you have any concerns or special requirements, please confirm with us.

Reconstitution

Centrifuge at 3000 rpm for 5 mins before opening. It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized protein in sterile H2O to a concentration not less than 100 μg/mL and incubate the stock solution at room temperature for at least 20 mins to ensure sufficient re-dissolved. Do Not Vortex! Vigorous shaking may impair the biological activity of the protein.

Molecular Weight

The protein has a calculated MW of 18.1 kDa. The protein migrates as 13 kDa under reducing condition (SDS-PAGE analysis) .

Storage Conditions

Lyophilized protein should be stored at -20°C for 1 year. Upon reconstitution, store at 2°C to 8°C for up to 1 week. Further dilute in a buffer containing a carrier protein or stabilizer (e.g. 0.1% BSA, 10%FBS, 5%HSA or 5% trehalose solution), protein aliquots should be stored at -20°C or -80°C for 3-6 months. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
