Overview

Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) is a pro-inflammatory cytokine that activates NF-κB, MAPK, and PI3K/AKT pathways. Activated T cells and macrophages are the primary producers of TNF-α in response to inflammation and infectious conditions. Many other cell types have been shown to produce TNF-α, among them B cells, NK cells, mast cells, neutrophils, dendritic cells, microglia, endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells, cardiomyocytes, and fibroblasts. TNF-α has cytotoxic effects on cancer cells in vitro by stimulating anti-tumor immunosuppressive responses. TNF-α stimulates expression of E- and P-selectins, thus facilitating adhesion of neutrophils, monocytes, and memory T cells to activated platelets and endothelial cells (Zelová & Hosek). Other effects of TNF-α include vasodilatation and edema formation.

Data Figures

(A) The biological activity of Mouse Recombinant TNF-alpha was tested by its ability to induce cytolysis of L929 cells growing in the presence of actinomycin D. Cell viability was measured after 19 hours of culture using a fluorometric assay method. The EC50 is defined as the effective concentration of the growth factor at which cell viability is at 50% of maximum. The EC50 in the above example is 0.013 0.02 ng/mL. (B) 1 μg of Mouse Recombinant TNF-alpha was resolved with SDS-PAGE under reducing (+) and non-reducing (-) conditions and visualized by Coomassie Blue staining. Mouse Recombinant TNF-alpha has a predicted molecular mass of 17.4 kDa.
