TNF-α Anti-Rat Rabbit IgG Affinity Purify

TNF-α (Tumor Necrosis Factor alpha) is a 17.5 kDa, 157 amino acid protein that is a potent lymphoid factor, which exerts cytotoxic effects on a wide range of tumor cells and other target cells. TNF-α has been suggested to play a pro-inflammatory role and has been detected in synovial fluids of patients with rheumatoid arthritis. It is the primary mediator of immune regulation. The biosynthesis of TNF-α is tightly controlled being produced in extremely small quantities in quiescent cells, but is a major secreted factor in activated cells. For research use only, not for use in diagnostic procedures.
