Scientific Data Images for Human TNF-alpha Antibody

Cytotoxicity Induced by TNF-alpha  and Neutralization by Human TNF-alpha  Antibody.

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).
Detection of TNF- alpha antibody in Human PBMC Monocytes antibody by Flow Cytometry.

Detection of TNF‑ alpha in Human PBMC Monocytes by Flow Cytometry.

Human PBMCs were treated with 1μg/ml LPS for 4 hours then stained with (A) Mouse Anti-Human TNF-a Membrane Form Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB2101) or (B) isotype control antibody (MAB002) followed by anti-Mouse IgG PE-conjugated Secondary Antibody (F0102B) and Mouse anti-Human CD14 APC-conjugated Monoclonal Antibody (FAB3832A). Staining was perfomed using our Staining Membrane-associated Proteins protocol.
Detection of Insect TNF-alpha by Western Blot

Detection of Insect TNF-alpha by Western Blot

The pre-integrated TMD docks to the cytosolic tip of the lateral gate.(A) Co-immunoprecipitation of recombinant FLAG-Sec61 alpha and Sec61 gamma. Sf21 insect cell microsomes were solubilized with 1% Deoxy BigChap (DBC) and subjected to anti-FLAG immunoprecipitation (IP). Eluted samples (Sf21) were analyzed by immunoblotting next to a sample of canine microsomal ER membranes (CRM). (B) Comparison of the relative CT7 photo-crosslinking efficiency of canine rough microsomes (CRM) and Sf21 microsomes containing wild-type FLAG-Sec61 alpha/ gamma complex. CT7 crosslinking was performed as before. The relative crosslinking efficiency of recombinant Sec61 alpha was normalized to the native protein. (C) BMH crosslinking reactions using recombinant FLAG-Sec61 alpha/ gamma complex. Cys49 TNF alpha 126-mers were prepared in the presence of Sf21 microsomes, and BMH crosslinking reactions were conducted as described previously. Reactions were either analyzed directly (Total) or after denaturing IP with anti-FLAG affinity resin. IP with the anti-HA affinity resin served as a specificity control. (D) Western blots of Sf21 microsomes co-expressing either wild-type or mutant FLAG-Sec61 alpha/ gamma. Insect cell microsomes from cells infected with a baculovirus that lacked Sec61 genes (control virus) served as a control. (E) CT7 crosslinking of mutant Sec61 alpha/ gamma complexes containing the indicated cysteine substitutions. The region of the gel corresponding to FLAG-Sec61 alpha is shown. Detection of photo-affinity labeling that is competed by CT9 indicates that the mutant Sec61 alpha/ gamma complex is properly folded.DOI:https://dx.doi.org/10.7554/eLife.01483.010 Image collected and cropped by CiteAb from the following publication (https://elifesciences.org/articles/01483), licensed under a CC-BY license.

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.
