Mouse Anti-Human TNF-alpha Clone MAb1 LE/NA mAb

TNF-alpha is secreted by macrophages, monocytes, neutrophils, T-cells (principally CD4+), and NK-cells. Many transformed cell lines also secrete TNF-alpha. Monomeric human TNF-alpha is a 157 amino acid protein (non-glycosylated) with a reported molecular weight of 17 kD. TNF-alpha forms multimeric complexes, stable trimers are most common in solution. A 26 kD membrane form of TNF-alpha has also been described. TNF-alpha binding to surface receptors elicits a wide array of biologic activities including: cytolysis and cytostasis of many tumor cell lines, in vitro , hemorraghic necrosis of tumors, in vivo , increased fibroblast proliferation, and enhanced chemotaxis and phagocytosis in neutrophils. The MAb1 antibody can neutralize the bioactivity of natural or recombinant TNF-alpha.
