Catalog #: CYT-008
Description:
Tumor Necrosis Factor-a Rabbit Recombinant consists of three identical polypeptide chains of 158 amino acids combined to form a compact, bell-shaped homotrimer. TNF-alpha was produced in E.Coli is a non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain having a molecular mass of 17.4 kDa for the individual subunit.
The TNF-alpha is purified by standard chromatographic techniques.
Synonyms:
Tumor necrosis factor, Cachectin, TNF-alpha, Tumor necrosis factor ligand superfamily member 2, TNF-a, TNF, TNFA, TNFSF2.
Source:
Escherichia Coli.
Amino Acid Sequence:
The sequence of the first five N-terminal amino acids was determined and was found to be Met-Ser-Ala-Ser-Arg.
Purity:
Greater than 95% as determined by:
(a) Analysis by RP-HPLC.
(b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE.
Solubility:
It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha in sterile 18MΩ–cm H2O not less than 100 µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.
Formulation:
TNF-alpha Rabbit was lyophilized after extensive dialysis against 20mM PB, pH7.4, 300mM NaCl.
Stability:
Lyophilized Tumor Necrosis Factor-a although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18 °C. Upon reconstitution TNF-a should be stored at 4 °C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18 °C.
For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).
Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
Activity:
The ED50 as determined by the cytolysis of murine L929 cells in the presence of Actinomycin D is less than 0.03ng/ml, corresponding to a Specific Activity of 30,000,000 IU/mg.
Physical Appearance:
Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
Usage:
Denovo Biotechnology's products are furnished for LABORATORY RESEARCH USE ONLY. The product may not be used as drugs, agricultural or pesticidal products, food additives or household chemicals.
