This antibody is primarily directed against mature 17,000 MW human TNFα and is useful in determining its presence in various assays. In general, this antibody also detects primate TNFα in the same formats using similar dilutions. The antibody does not recognize human TNFß (lymphotoxin) . This IgG fraction antibody will recognize the cell-bound precursor of TNFα as a 26,000 protein in immunoblots, particularly in denatured samples. This antibody is also useful for neutralization of human and primate TNFα 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.

Store anti-TNF alpha at -20° C prior to opening. Aliquot contents and freeze at -20° C or below for extended storage. Avoid cycles of freezing and thawing. Centrifuge product if not completely clear after standing at room temperature. This product is stable for several weeks at 4° C as an undiluted liquid. Dilute only prior to immediate use.

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.
