Background of TNF

TNF alpha (Tumor Necrosis Factor alpha) gene encodes a multifunctional proinflammatory cytokine that belongs to the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) superfamily. This cytokine is mainly secreted by macrophages. It can bind to, and thus functions through its receptors TNFRSF1A/TNFR1 and TNFRSF1B/TNFBR. This cytokine is involved in the regulation of a wide spectrum of biological processes including cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, lipid metabolism, and coagulation. This cytokine has been implicated in a variety of diseases, including autoimmune diseases, insulin resistance, and cancer. Knockout studies in mice also suggested the neuroprotective function of this cytokine.

Antibody Validation

Boster validates all antibodies on WB, IHC, ICC, Immunofluorescence, and ELISA with known positive control and negative samples to ensure specificity and high affinity, including thorough antibody incubations.

3 Reviews For Anti-TNF alpha Antibody Picoband®

Using the Anti-TNFα antibody (Cat# PA1079) in WB on rat alveolar bone, TNFα levels were highest in diabetes-induced bone defect models and were effectively suppressed by EGCG and PGC-1α treatments, with clear and correctly positioned bands.

Excellent

SKU PA1079
Application Western Blot
Sample rat alveolar bone
Sample Processing Description ① Normal mouse hippocampal tissue, ② Hippocampal tissue from Alzheimer’s disease model mouse, ③ Hippocampal tissue from Alzheimer’s disease model mouse treated with a self-developed drug. Total protein was extracted from all samples.
Other Reagents RIPA lysis buffer, Protease inhibitor, Running buffer, Transfer buffer, Blocking buffer
Primary Antibody TNF alpha Antibody Picoband®
Primary Incubation 1:1000, overnight at 4 ℃
Secondary Antibody HRP Conjugated AffiniPure Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG (H+L) (BA1054)
Secondary Incubation 1:10000, 1 h in RT
Detection Substrate: ECL substrate, Image system: ChemiDoc MP
Results Summary TNFα is a typical pro-inflammatory factor that enhances inflammation, inhibits osteogenesis, and promotes bone resorption in bone defect models. The experimental results show that in rat alveolar bone tissue, TNFα levels increase in the following order: ① N: normal rats’ alveolar bone, ② D-EGC: EGCG-treated diabetic bone defect model, ③ D-PGC: PGC-1α-treated diabetic bone defect model, ④ D: diabetic bone defect model, indicating that both EGCG and PGC-1α can suppress TNFα expression.

Question

My question regarding product PA1079, anti-TNF alpha antibody. I was wondering if it would be possible to conjugate this antibody with biotin. I would need it to be without BSA or sodium azide. I am planning on using a buffer exchange of sodium azide with PBS only. Would there be problems for me to conjugate the antibody and store it in -20 degrees in small aliquots?

Verified Customer

Verified customer

Asked: 2018-08-06

Answer

We do not recommend storing this antibody with PBS buffer only in -20 degrees. If you want to store it in -20 degrees it is best to add some cryoprotectant like glycerol. If you want carrier free PA1079 anti-TNF alpha antibody, we can provide it to you in a special formula with trehalose and/or glycerol. These molecules will not interfere with conjugation chemistry and provide a good level of protection for the antibody from degradation. Please be sure to specify this in your purchase order.

Does anti-TNF alpha antibody PA1079 work for IF with prostatic carcinoma?

E. Anderson

Verified customer

Asked: 2014-03-05

Answer

According to the expression profile of prostatic carcinoma, TNF is highly expressed in prostatic carcinoma. So, it is likely that anti-TNF alpha antibody PA1079 will work for IF with prostatic carcinoma.

Question

Would PA1079 anti-TNF alpha antibody work on parafin embedded sections? If so, which fixation method do you recommend we use (PFA, paraformaldehyde, other)?

K. Collins

Verified customer

Asked: 2013-07-12

Answer

It shows on the product datasheet, PA1079 anti-TNF alpha antibody as been validated on IF. It is best to use PFA for fixation because it has better tissue penetration ability. PFA needs to be prepared fresh before use. Long term stored PFA turns into formalin, as the PFA molecules congregate and become formalin.
