Invitrogen™ TNF alpha Monoclonal Antibody (MP6-XT22), eBioscience™, Invitrogen™

Rat Monoclonal Antibody

Description: The MP6-XT22 antibody reacts with mouse tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF alpha), a 17 kDa cytokine produced by monocytes, macrophages, neutrophils, NK cells and CD4(+)T cells. TNF alpha has cytolytic activity against a range of tumor cells and is important in immune regulation. TNF alpha forms dimers and trimers and also exists as a 26 kDa membrane-bound form. Applications Reported: This MP6-XT22 antibody has been reported for use in intracellular staining followed by flow cytometric analysis, and immunohistology staining of frozen tissue sections. (Fluorochrome conjugated MP6-XT22 is recommended for use in intracellular flow cytometry.). Applications Tested: The MP6-XT22 antibody has been tested to block staining with fluorochrome conjugated MP6-XT22. This can be used at less than or equal to 2 μg per test. A test is defined as the amount (μg) of antibody that will stain a cell sample in a final volume of 100 μL. Cell number should be determined empirically but can range from 10^5 to 10^8 cells/test. It is recommended that the antibody be carefully titrated for optimal performance in the assay of interest. Purity: Greater than 90%, as determined by SDS-PAGE. Aggregation: Less than 10%, as determined by HPLC. Filtration: 0.2 μm post-manufacturing filtered.
