Description

Accession
P16599
Source
Optimized DNA sequence encoding Rat Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha mature chain was expressed in Escherichia Coli.
Molecular weight
Native Rat TNF-alpha, generated by the proteolytic removal of the signal peptide and propeptide,the molecule has a calculated molecular mass of approximately 17kDa. Recombinant Rat Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha is a monomeric protein consisting of 157 amino acid residue subunits, and migrates as an approximately 17 kDa protein under non-reducing conditions and reducing conditions in SDS-PAGE.
Purity
>98%, as determined by SDS-PAGE and HPLC
Biological Activity
The ED(50) was determined by the dose-dependent stimulation of the proliferation of monkeyMBr-5 cells was found to be in the range of.0-40.0 ng/ml.

Endotoxin
Endotoxin content was assayed using a LAL gel clot method. Endotoxin level was found to be less than.1 ng/µg(1EU/µg).
Presentation
Recombinant rat TNF-a was lyophilized from a.2 μm filtered PBS solution pH7.0.
Reconstitution
A quick spin of the vial followed by reconstitution in distilled water to a concentration not less than.1 mg/mL. This solution can then be diluted into other buffers
Storage
The lyophilized protein is stable for at least years from date of receipt at -20° C. Upon reconstitution, this cytokine can be stored in working aliquots at° -° C for one month, or at -20° C for six months, with a carrier protein without detectable loss of activity. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.

Molecular function

Methods

Chemicals and Kits

  • The biochemical tests conducted with the specific enzymatic colorimetric assay kits were all provided by, either located at Switzerland or .
  • The reagents IFCC and P-5-P were used for assay of GOT and GPT.
  • Octacalcium phosphate (OCP) and UV were used for the determination of serum calcium and phosphate ions.
  • For other determinations we used BCG for serum albumin, CHOD for cholesterol, lipase-glycerol oxidase for triglycerides; KINETIC for serum BUN, picric acid for creatinine (reaction), colorimetric oxidase for uric acid, and Sirius Red for collagen staining.
  • Doxorubicin (DR) was a product of Pfizer .
  • The kits for other determinations included SO and TBAS from Cayman (Michigan, ), the rat IL-6 EIA Kit from , and the rat TNF-α Kit from the& .
  • The sources of the antibodies used in this experiment were: PDGF Receptor β (1∶1000), phosphor-PDGF Receptor β (1∶1000) and β-actin from Cell Signaling ; phosphor-PI3K (1∶500) from Santa…

Cytokine Expression

  • After the swimming training was completed, the rats were subjected to intraperitoneal ketamine and xylasine anesthesia and the blood samples were immediately withdrawn from the abdominal aorta.
  • The levels of IL-6 and TNF-α were measured by the at IL-6 EIA KIT provided by and the at TNF-α KIT by & according to the manufacturer’s instruction.
  • The minimal detectable limits instructed by the manufacturers for IL-6 and TNF-α are 62 and 5 pg·mL−1, respectively.

Bone marrow (BM) cell cultures

  • BM-derived cells were obtained by flushing tibiae and femurs.
  • After lysis of red blood cells with lysing solution , the remaining cells were suspended in complete medium (CM; RPMI 1640 supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum [FBS], antibiotics, sodium pyruvate, L-glutamine, nonessential amino acids, and 2-ME; all from, , ).
  • Where indicated, the cells were stimulated with FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 ligand (Flt3L; 200 ng/ml, , ), anti-4-1BB (5 µg/ml; clone 3H3, rat IgG2a; produced in-house), LPS (10 µg/ml), ODN-2395 (10 µg/ml), PolyI:C (10 µg/ml), TNF-α (5 ng/ml,), IFN-γ (5 ng/ml), anti-CD40 (5 µg/ml, , ), anti-μ (10 µg/ml , , ), or LA-4Ig (10 µg/ml: Bristol-Myers Squibb, , ).

Expression of markers relevant to antigen presentation and T cell activation on HBEC.

  • HBEC were stimulated with either 10 ng/ml TNF (blue line), 50 ng/ml IFNg (green line), or 10 ng/ml TNF+50 ng/ml IFNg (orange line) and compared to unstimulated cells (red line).

Conditioned medium of ADSC promotes proliferation rate of cardiomyocytes.

  • This proliferation rate was not significantly influenced by treatment with TNF-α or IL-1β.

Culture and characterization of DCs

  • DCs were generated from rat bone marrow as previously described[6 cells/mL in medium'>RPMI-1640 medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum , 2 mM glutamine, 100 μg/mL penicillin , 100 μg/mL streptomycin , 500 U/mL of recombinant rat granulocyte-macrophage colony- stimulating factor , and 500 U/mL of recombinant rat interleukin-4 .
  • On days 2 and 4, half of the culture supernatant was removed and replaced with fresh medium containing recombinant rat granulocyte macrophage colony- stimulating factor and interleukin-4.
  • On day 6, all the loosely adherent cells were harvested, centrifuged and counted.
  • Then C6 glioma cell lysates and DCs (a ratio of 3 tumor cells to 1 DC) were incubated in fresh medium with recombinant rat granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor and interleukin-4 together at 37°C in 5% CO2.
  • To stimulate DC maturation in vitro, on day 8, the cultures were additionally…
