Name: Human TNF-alpha Antibody
Brand: R&D Systems
SKU: MAB2101
Price: 459 USD

Human TNF-alpha antibody, Clone # 6401, binds to and neutralizes Catalog # 210-TA, which is an E. coli-derived human TNF-alpha protein, Val77-Leu233, and has been shown to be cytotoxic to L‑929 mouse fibroblast cells. According to Uniprot, the soluble form of TNF-alpha is amino acids 77-233: https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/P01375. We have also shown binding of Clone # 6401 to the membrane bound form of TNFa via flow cytometry. We are aware of a few citations showing the antibody acts to neutralize TNFa. See https://www.rndsystems.com/products/human-tnf-alpha-antibody-6401_mab2101#product-citations. Therefore, clone #6401 detects both membrane bound and soluble forms of TNF-alpha.

Human

Specificity

Detects human TNF-alpha in direct ELISAs and Western blots. In direct ELISAs, approximately 25‑50% cross‑reactivity with recombinant porcine TNF‑ alpha and recombinant rhesus macaque TNF-alpha is observed but no cross-reactivity with recombinant cotton rat TNF‑ alpha, recombinant rat TNF‑ alpha, recombinant human (rh) LT alpha 1/ beta 2, rhLT alpha 2/ beta 1, rhAPRIL, rhBAFF, rhEDA‑A2, recombinant mouse EDA, rhFas Ligand, rhLIGHT, rhOX40 Ligand, rhTRAIL, rhTRANCE, rhTWEAK, or rhVEGI is observed.

Sample

Flow Cytometry

0.25 µg/10⁶ cells

Human PBMC treated with 1 μg/ml LPS for 4 hours

CyTOF-ready

Ready to be labeled using established conjugation methods. No BSA or other carrier proteins that could interfere with conjugation.

Neutralization

Measured by its ability to neutralize TNF‑ alpha -induced cytotoxicity in the L‑929 mouse fibroblast cell line. Matthews, N. and M.L. Neale (1987) in Lymphokines and Interferons, A Practical Approach. Clemens, M.J. et al. (eds): IRL Press. 221. The Neutralization Dose (ND₅₀) is typically 0.015-0.06 µg/mL in the presence of 0.25 ng/mL Recombinant Human TNF‑ alpha and 1 µg/mL actinomycin D.

Please Note: Optimal dilutions should be determined by each laboratory for each application. General Protocols are available in the Technical Information section on our website.

Cytotoxicity Induced by TNF‑ alpha and Neutralization by Human TNF‑ alpha Antibody. Recombinant Human TNF-a (Catalog # 210-TA) induces cytotoxicity in the L-929 mouse fibroblast cell line in a dose-dependent manner (orange line). Cytotoxicity elicited by Recombinant Human TNF-a (0.25 ng/mL) is neutralized (green line) by increasing concentrations of Human TNF-a Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB2101). The ND₅₀ is typically 0.015-0.06 µg/mL in the presence of the metabolic inhibitor actinomycin D (1 µg/mL).

Background: TNF-alpha

Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha, TNF- alpha, TNFA ), also known as Cachectin and TNFSF2, is the prototypic ligand of the TNF superfamily. It is a pleiotropic molecule that plays a central role in inflammation, immune system development, apoptosis, and lipid metabolism. TNF- is produced by several lymphoid cells as well as by astrocytes, endothelial cells, and smooth muscle cells. Human TNF-alpha consisits of a 35 amino acid (aa) cytoplasmic domain, a 21 aa transmembrane segment, and a 177 aa extracellular domain (ECD). Within the ECD, human TNF-alpha shares 97% aa sequence identity with rhesus and 71%-92% with bovine, canine, cotton rat, equine, feline, mouse, porcine, and rat TNF-alpha. TNF-alpha is produced by a wide variety of immune, epithelial, endothelial, and tumor cells. TNF-alpha is assembled intracellularly to form a noncovalently linked homotrimer which is expressed on the cell surface. Cell surface TNF-alpha can induce the lysis of neighboring tumor cells and virus infected cells, and it can generate its own downstream cell signaling following ligation by soluble TNFR I. Shedding of membrane bound TNF-alpha by TACE/ADAM17 releases the bioactive cytokine, a 55 kDa molecular weight soluble trimer of the TNF-alpha extracellular domain. TNF-alpha binds the ubiquitous 55-60 kDa TNF RI and the hematopoietic cell-restricted 80 kDa TNF RII, both of which are also expressed as homotrimers present on virtually all cell types. Both type I and type II receptors bind TNF-alpha with comparable affinity, although only TNF RI contains a cytoplasmic death domain which triggers the activation of apoptosis. Soluble forms of both types of receptors are released and can neutralize the biological activity of TNF-alpha.
