Description:Recombinant Human TNF Protein is produced by E. coli using rDNA technology. The protein consists of three identical polypeptide chains of 158 amino acids combined to form a compact bell-shaped homotrimer. The individual subunits have a relative molecular mass of 17484 Daltons each. TNF-α is a potent lymphoid factor that exerts cytotoxic effects on a wide range of tumor cells and certain other target cells.Form:Lyophilized from a 0.2 μM filtered solution of 20mM PB, 150mM NaCl, pH 7.0.Gene Symbol:TNFAlternative Names:TNFA; TNFSF2; Tumor necrosis factor; Cachectin; TNF-alpha; Tumor necrosis factor ligand superfamily member 2; TNF-a

Do not mix by vortex or pipetting. It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100 μg/ml. Dissolve the lyophilized protein in 1X PBS. Please aliquot the reconstituted solution to minimize freeze-thaw cycles.Quality Control:Endotoxin: Less than 0.1 ng/μg (1 IEU/μg) as determined by LAL test.Storage/Stability:Lyophilized protein should be stored at -20°C, though stable at room temperature for 3 weeks. Reconstituted protein solution can be stored at 2-8°C for 2-7 days. Aliquots of reconstituted samples are stable at -20°C for 3 months.
