Product Specification

SPECIES CROSSREACTIVITY:	Human Mouse Rat
MW:	~20kDa (SDS-PAGE).
SOURCE/HOST:	Produced in E. coli. The extracellular domain of mouse TNF-α (tumor necrosis factor-α) (aa 77-235) is fused at the N-terminus to a linker peptide (8 aa) and a FLAG^®-tag.
CONCENTRATION:	1mg/ml after reconstitution.
PURITY:	≥95% (SDS-PAGE)
FORMULATION:	Lyophilized. Contains PBS.
ENDOTOXIN CONTENT:	<0.1EU/µg purified protein (LAL test; Bio Whittaker).
RECONSTITUTION:	Reconstitute with 50µl sterile water. Further dilutions should be made with medium containing 5% fetal calf serum.
SPECIFICITY:	Binds to human, mouse and rat TNF-R1 and less efficiently to TNF-R2. In the presence of cross-linking enhancer (see Set Prod. No. ALX-850-061), TNF-α shows a significantly higher affinity for TNF-R2 than for TNF-R1, mimicking the characteristics of membrane-bound TNF-α.
BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY:	Exerts its biological activity in a concentration range of 0.5-1ng/ml (WEHI 164 cells).
SPECIFIC ACTIVITY:	ED₅₀=0.02ng/ml (WEHI 164 cells)
SHIPPING:	SHIPPED ON BLUE ICE
LONG TERM STORAGE:	-20°C
USE/STABILITY:	Stable for at least 6 months after receipt when stored at -20°C.
HANDLING:	After reconstitution, prepare aliquots and store at -20°C. Avoid freeze/thaw cycles.
