Key elements and design rationale
- Antibody format: Rabbit Polyclonal Rabbit IgG
- Immunogen / epitope context: E.coli-derived mouse TNF alpha recombinant protein (Position: L80-Q227). Mouse TNF alpha shares 79% and 95% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with human and rat TNF alpha, respectively. (reported region: L80-Q227).
- Molecular weight context: reported MW: 25 kDa; calculated MW: 25896 MW
- Reactivity: Mouse
- Applications: WB
As a polyclonal antibody, the reagent recognizes multiple epitopes on the target, which can improve detection robustness but may increase sensitivity to sample-dependent epitope changes.
Biological background
Tumor necrosis factor; Tumor necrosis factor. TNFα (Tumor Necrosis Factor alpha) gene encodes a multifunctional proinflammatory cytokine that belongs to the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) superfamily. This cytokine is mainly secreted by macrophages. It can bind to, and thus functions through its receptors TNFRSF1A/TNFR1 and TNFRSF1B/TNFBR. This cytokine is involved in the regulation of a wide spectrum of biological processes including cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, lipid metabolism, and coagulation. This cytokine has been implicated in a variety of diseases, including autoimmune diseases, insulin resistance, and cancer. Knockout studies in mice also suggested the neuroprotective function of this cytokine. Functional note: Cytokine that binds to TNFRSF1A/TNFR1 and TNFRSF1B/TNFBR. It is mainly secreted by macrophages and can induce cell death of certain tumor cell lines. It is potent pyrogen causing fever by action or by stimulation of interleukin-1 secretion and is implicated in the induction of cachexia, Under certain conditions it can stimulate cell proliferation and induce cell differentiation. Reported localization: Cell membrane; Single-pass type II membrane protein. Expression/tissue context: Most abundant in placenta and skeletal muscle. It is also detected in the heart, lung, liver and kidney. IL15- S21AA is preferentially expressed in tissues such as testis and thymus.
Research relevance and current trends
- Atherosclerosis: Researchers commonly examine how TNF (Tumor necrosis factor) relates to this theme using model systems and orthogonal readouts.
- Cancer: Researchers commonly examine how TNF (Tumor necrosis factor) relates to this theme using model systems and orthogonal readouts.
- Cardiovascular: Researchers commonly examine how TNF (Tumor necrosis factor) relates to this theme using model systems and orthogonal readouts.
Common research applications
- Western blotting: compare relative TNF (Tumor necrosis factor) levels across conditions; band patterns may reflect isoforms and processing.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Specificity notes: No cross reactivity with other proteins.
- Cross-reactivity: No cross-reactivity with other proteins
- Family / similarity context: Belongs to the IL-15/IL-21 family.
- Isoforms and PTMs: Apparent size and signal patterns can differ across splice isoforms, proteolytic processing, and post-translational modifications.
- Controls: Include an isotype control (as relevant), no-primary control for imaging, and orthogonal validation such as KD/KO samples when available.
