About this Protein | |
Name | Recombinant Human TNF-α/TNFSF2 GMP (Recombinant Human Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha/TNFSF2 GMP; rHuTNF-α/TNFSF2 GMP);重组人肿瘤坏死因子-α/TNFSF2 GMP |
Synonyms | Tumor Necrosis Factor; TNFSF2; Cachectin; Differentiation-inducing factor; DIF; Necrosin; Cytotoxin |
Purity | >98% by SDS-PAGE and HPLC analyses. |
Biological Activity | Fully biologically active when compared to standard. The ED50 as determined by a cytotoxicity assay using murine L929 cells is less than 0.05ng/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of >2.0×10^7IU/mg in the presence of actinomycin D. |
Physical Appearance | Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder. |
Formulation | Lyophilized from a 0.2µM filtered concentrated solution in 10mM PB, 10mM NaCl, pH7.0. |
Endotoxin | Less than 0.01EU/µg of rHuTNF-α/TNFSF2 GMP as determined by LAL method. |
Reconstitution | We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Reconstitute in sterile distilled water or aqueous buffer containing 0.1% BSA to a concentration of 0.1-1.0mg/ml. Stock solutions should be apportioned into working aliquots and stored at ≤-20℃. Further dilutions should be made in appropriate buffered solutions. |
Category | Cytokine |
Background | Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), also called cachectin, is the best-know member of the TNF-family, which can cause cell death. This protein is produced by neutrophils, activated lymphocytes, macrophages, NK cells, LAK cells, astrocytes endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells and some transformed cells. TNF-α occurs as a secreted, soluble form and as a membrane-anchored form, both of which are biologically active. The naturally-occurring form of TNF-α is glycosylated, but non-glycosylated recombinant TNF-α has comparable biological activity. The biologically active native form of TNF-α is reportedly a trimer. Human and murine TNF-α show approximately 79% homology at the amino acid level and cross-reactivity between the two species. Two types of receptors for TNF-α have been described and virtually all cell types studied show the presence of one or both of these receptor types. |

保存条件:
-20℃或更低温度保存,至少一年有效。由于蛋白的每次冻融均会引起部分失活,所以首次配制成相应浓度的储存液后(请根据产品简介中Reconstitution一栏的信息配制储存液),须分装后-20℃或更低温度冻存,以避免反复冻融。
注意事项:
由于有些塑料管壁对某些蛋白有较强的吸附作用,溶液中的蛋白很容易粘附在管壁上,并且粘附后的蛋白很难与管壁分离。而载体蛋白(Carrier protein,如0.1% BSA等)的主要作用是预先封闭塑料管壁上的蛋白结合位点,使细胞因子或重组蛋白不会粘附于管壁。所以一定要使用产品简介中Reconstitution一栏的信息配制储存液。
