TNF-α is a kind of pleiotropic pro-inflammatory cytokine. It is secreted by various cells, such as adipocytes, activated monocytes, macrophages, B cells, T cells and fibroblasts. Proteolysis of the integral membrane precursor form of TNF-α from cells soluble can release homotrimeric TNF-α. TNF-α can bind with some TNF-α receptors induces apoptosis, besides, also trigger other responses depending on cell type, receptor expression, and signal transduction status. TNF-α participate in the inflammatory response.

Source:
Escherichia coli

Endotoxin Test:
<0.1 EU per 1 μg of the protein by the LAL method. Activity:
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. Purity:
>98% as determined by SDS-PAGE. Ni-NTA chromatography

Formulation:
The protein was lyophilized from a solution containing 1X PBS, pH 7.4.

Reconstitution:
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 for at least 20 min to ensure sufficient re-dissolved.

Storage:
Lyophilized protein should be stored at -20°C. Upon reconstitution, protein aliquots should be stored at -20°C or -80°C.

Note:
Please use within one month after protein reconstitution.
