Validation Data Gallery

• 

  Purity of recombinant human TNF alpha was determined by SDS- polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The protein was resolved in an SDS- polyacrylamide gel in reducing and non-reducing conditions and stained using Coomassie blue

• 

  Recombinant human TNF alpha (HZ-1014) demonstrates does-dependent cytotoxicity in the L929 mouse adipose cell line. Cell number was quantitatively assessed by PrestoBlue® cell viability reagent. L929 cells were treated with increasing concentrations of GMP recombinant TNF alpha for 72 hours in the presence of actinomycin D. The EC50 was determined using a 4-parameter non-linear regression model. The EC50 range is 0.002-0.026 ng/mL.

Background

TNF, as also known as TNF-alpha, or cachectin, is a multifunctional proinflammatory cytokine that belongs to the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) superfamily. It is expressed as a 26 kDa membrane-bound protein and free soluble 17 kDa monomer, which forms homotrimers in circulation. It is produced mostly by activated macrophages, CD4+ lymphocytes, NK cells, neutrophils, eosinophils, and neurons. This cytokine is involved in the regulation of a wide spectrum of biological processes including cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, lipid metabolism, and coagulation (PMID: 20194223).
