R&D Systems™ Recombinant Human TNF-alpha Protein

Description

Extensive quality control produces industry leading bioactivity and lot-to-lot consistency that instills confidence in results and ensures reproducibility. Applications: Bioactivity

Measured in a cytotoxicity assay using L-929 mouse fibroblast cells in the presence of the metabolic inhibitor actinomycin D. Matthews, N. and M.L. Neale (1987) in Lymphokines and Interferons, A Practical Approach. Clemens, M.J. et al. (eds): IRL Press. 221. The ED50 for this effect is 25-100 pg/mL. The specific activity of Recombinant Human TNF-alpha is approximately 7.6 x 104 IU/μg, which is calibrated against human TNF-alpha WHO International Standard (NIBSC code: 88/786). Specific activity is for reference purposes only and is not routinely tested.
