Description
Tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF alpha) is a potent pleiotrophic cytokine produced by white blood cells, endothelium, and several other normal and tumour cells in response to a wide variety of stimuli. TNF alpha is involved in the pathophysiological processes of several chronic and acute diseases, including the induction of apoptosis and up regulation of inflammation. Recombinant TNF alpha comprises a 157 amino acid fragment (77-233) corresponding to the mature soluble TNF alpha chain protein. TNF alpha is expressed in E. coli with an amino-terminal hexahistidine tag.
