Tumor Necrosis Factor alpha, Recombinant, Human (TNF-alpha, TNFA, TNF-a, Cachectin, DIF, Tumor Necrosis Factor, TNF, Tumor Necrosis Factor Ligand Superfamily Member 2, TNFSF2)

Source:\nRecombinant corresponding to 158aa of human Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha expressed in E.coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain.\n\nMolecular Weight: \n~17.5kD\n\nBiological Activity:\nThe ED50 as determined by the cytolysis of mouse L929 cells in the presence of Actinomycin D is less then 0.05ng/ml, corresponding to a Specific Activity of 2x107IU/mg.\n\nDimers and Aggregates:\n(same/less than)1% (SDS-PAGE)\n\nProtein Content:\nProtein quantitation was carried out by two independent methods: 1. UV spectroscopy at 280nm using the absorbency value of 1.24 as the extinction coefficient for a 0.1% (1mg/ml) solution. This value is calculated by the PC GENE computer analysis program of protein sequences (IntelliGenetics). 2. Analysis by RP-HPLC, using a calibrated solution of TNF-alpha as a Reference Standard.\n\nStorage and Stability:\nLyophilized powder may be stored at -20 degrees C. Stable for 12 months at -20 degrees C. Reconstitute with sterile ddH2O, HSA or BSA. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20 degrees C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
