Scientific Data Images for Porcine TNF‑ alpha Antibody

Cytotoxicity Induced by TNF‑ alpha and Neutralization by Porcine TNF‑ alpha Antibody.

Cytotoxicity Induced by TNF‑ alpha and Neutralization by Porcine TNF‑ alpha Antibody.

Recombinant Porcine TNF-a (Catalog # 690-PT) induces cytotoxicity in the the PK-15 porcine kidney epithelial cell line in a dose-dependent manner (orange line). Cytotoxicity elicited by Recombinant Porcine TNF-a (0.05 ng/mL) is neutralized (green line) by increasing concentrations of Mouse Anti-Porcine TNF-a Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB6903). The ND50 is typically 0.005-0.02 µg/mL in the presence of the metabolic inhibitor actinomycin D (1 µg/mL).
TNF-a antibody in Porcine PBMCs by Immunocytochemistry (ICC).

TNF‑ alpha in Porcine PBMCs.

TNF-a was detected in immersion fixed porcine peripheral blood mononuclear cells treated with calcium ionomycin and PMA using Mouse Anti-Porcine TNF-a Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB6903) at 25 µg/mL for 3 hours at room temperature. Cells were stained using the NorthernLights™ 557-conjugated Anti-Mouse IgG Secondary Antibody (red; Catalog # NL007) and counterstained with DAPI (blue). Specific staining was localized to cytoplasm.

Background: TNF-alpha

Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha ), also known as cachectin and TNFSF2, is the prototypic ligand of the TNF superfamily. It is a pleiotropic molecule that plays a central role in inflammation, apoptosis, and immune system development. TNF-alpha is produced by a wide variety of immune and epithelial cell types (1, 2). Porcine TNF-alpha consisits of a 35 amino acid (aa) cytoplasmic domain, a 21 aa transmembrane segment, and a 176 aa extracellular domain (ECD) (3). Within the ECD, porcine TNF-alpha shares 69%‑86% aa sequence identity with bovine, canine, cotton rat, equine, feline, human, mouse, rat, and rhesus TNF-alpha. The 26 kDa type 2 transmembrane protein is assembled intracellularly to form a noncovalently linked homotrimer (4). Ligation of this complex induces reverse signaling that promotes lymphocyte costimulation but diminishes monocyte responsiveness (5). Cleavage of membrane bound TNF-alpha by TACE/ADAM17 releases a 55 kDa soluble trimeric form of TNF-alpha (6, 7). TNF-alpha trimers bind the ubiquitous TNF RI and the hematopoietic cell-restricted TNF RII, both of which are also expressed as homotrimers (1, 8). TNF-alpha regulates lymphoid tissue development through control of apoptosis (2). It also promotes inflammatory responses by inducing the activation of vascular endothelial cells and macrophages (2). TNF-alpha is a key cytokine in the development of several inflammatory disorders (9). It contributes to the development of type 2 diabetes through its effects on insulin resistance and fatty acid metabolism (10, 11).
