TNF alpha antibody

Catalog No. ABIN5596796

Product Details anti-TNF alpha Antibody

Target: TNF alpha (Tumor Necrosis Factor alpha (TNF alpha))

Reactivity: Human

Host: Rabbit

Clonality: Polyclonal

Conjugate: This TNF alpha antibody is un-conjugated

Application: Western Blotting (WB), ELISA, Immunohistochemistry (IHC), Neutralization (Neut)

Specificity: This antibody is primarily directed against mature 17,000 MW human TNFalpha and is useful in determining its presence in various assays. In general, this antibody also detects primate TNFalpha in the same formats using similar dilutions. The antibody does not recognize human TNGß (lymphotoxin). This IgG fraction antibody will recognize the cell-bound precursor of TNFalpha as a 26,000 protein in immunoblots, particularly in denatured samples. This antibody is also useful for neutralization of human and primate TNFalpha activity in bioassays. It does not neutralize the biological activity of lymphotoxin. For neutralization, it is recommended to incubate the sample with a 1:200 dilution of the antibody for at least 4 hours before being tested. A control of similarly diluted normal rabbit IgG is recommended.

Characteristics: Anti TNF alpha Antibody recognizes TNF alpha (TNF, cachexin, cachectin, tumor necrosis factor-alpha or TNF-alpha) a cytokine involved in systemic inflammation. TNF alpha is a member of a group of cytokines that stimulate the acute phase reaction. It is produced chiefly by activated macrophages, although it can be produced by other cell types as well. The primary role of TNF alpha is in the regulation of immune cells. TNFis an endogenous pyrogen that is able to induce fever, apoptotic cell death, sepsis (through IL-1 & IL-6 production), cachexia, inflammation, and to inhibit tumorigenesis and viral replication. Dysregulation of TNF production has been implicated in a variety of human diseases, including Alzheimer's disease, cancer, major depression, and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

Sterility: Sterile filtered

Immunogen: The whole rabbit serum used to produce this IgG fraction antibody was prepared by repeated immunizations with recombinant human TNFalpha produced in E.coli.
Immunogen Type: RecombinantProtein

Isotype: IgG

Application Details

Application Notes: This IgG fraction antibody of anti-Human TNFα has been tested for use in neutralizations, ELISA, immunohistochemistry and immunoblotting. It recognizes the 17,000 MW TNFα. Reactivity in other immunoassays is unknown.
