product information
cat :
T-100
SKU :
T-100_0.1 mg
Product Name :
Recombinant human TNF-alpha protein
Group Type :
Non Antibodies
Product Type :
Proteins
Accession :
P01375
Accession Number :
https://www.uniprot.org/uniprotkb/P01375/entry
Applications :
Cell survival assay
Formulation :
Lyophilized from filtrated Ammonium acetate solution. May contain acetate as a residual counter ion.
Storage After Reconstitution :
The reconstituted solution can be stored at 4°C for up to 1 week. For longer periods (up to 6 months), small aliquots should be stored at -20°C. We do not recommend storing the product in working solutions for longer than a few days. Avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles.
Reconstitution and Solubility :
Centrifuge the vial (10,000 × g for 5 minutes) before adding solvent to spin down all the powder to the bottom of the vial. The lyophilized product may be difficult to visualize. Add solvent directly to the centrifuged vial. Gently tap, tilt, and roll the vial to aid dissolution. Avoid vigorous vortexing; light vortexing for up to 3 seconds is acceptable if needed. For long-term storage in solution, we recommend preparing a stock solution by dissolving the product in sterile water at a concentration of at least 0.1 mg/mL. Divide the stock solution into small aliquots and store at -20°C. Before use, thaw the relevant vial(s) and dilute to the desired working concentration in your working buffer. It is recommended to prepare fresh solutions in working buffers just before use. Repeated freeze-thaw cycles may result in loss of activity.

Product Page - Scientific background :
TNF-α is a cytokine that binds to TNFR-55 and TNFR-75 receptors which are expressed on all somatic cells. It is derived from several types of cells but especially by activated monocytes1-2 and can induce cell death of certain tumor cell lines3. It is a potent pyrogen causing fever by direct action or by stimulation of interleukin-1 secretion and is implicated in the induction of cachexia. Under certain conditions it can stimulate cell proliferation and induce cell differentiation.The secretion of the acute phase protein TNF-α initiates a cascade of cytokines and increases vascular permeability, thereby recruiting macrophages and neutrophils to a site of bacterial, fungal, viral or parasitic infection. Without TNF-α, mice infected with gram negative bacteria experience septic shock4.The cytokine possesses both growth stimulating properties and growth inhibitory processes, and it appears to have self-regulatory properties as well. For instance, TNF-α induces neutrophil proliferation during inflammation, but it also induces neutrophil apoptosis upon binding to the TNF-R55 receptor5.TNF-α participates in both inflammatory disorders of inflammatory and non-inflammatory origin6. Originally, sepsis was believed to result directly from the invading bacteria itself, but it was later recognized that host system proteins, such as TNF-α induced sepsis in response.TNF-α seems to serve as a mediator in various pathologies. A few such examples include: septic shock, cancer, AIDS, transplantation rejection, multiple sclerosis, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, trauma, malaria, meningitis, ischemia-reperfusion injury, adult respiratory distress syndrome, ankylosing spondylitis, inflammatory bowel disease, psoriasis, hidradenitis suppurativa and refractory asthma. Since TNF-α plays a role in several diseases, a substantial amount of research has been conducted concerning TNF-α and anti-TNF-α therapies. TNF-α inhibition can be achieved with a monoclonal antibody or with a circulating receptor fusion protein. Clinical experience so far concludes that it is safe to give TNF antagonists to cancer patients since TNF antagonist treatment results in a period of disease stabilization or better in 20% of patients with advanced cancer7-10.
