Molecular Weight:

Projected MW = 19.6 kDa. The recombinant protein migrates as two bands with an apparent MW = 21 and 23 kDa in SDS-PAGE.

Formulation:

Lyophilized from a 0.2 µm sterile filtered solution of PBS, pH 7.2.

Purity:

>98% by SDS-PAGE. Purified product carries no pyrogenic or pro-inflammatory contaminants, as assayed with monocyte activation test using custom human Multiplex Cytokine Assay measuring IL-6, TNF-alpha and IL-1beta induction.

Biological Activity:

The ED50 is determined by the Cytotoxicity Assay for the human- TNF- alpha for dosedependent cytolytic effects of serial dilutions of h-TNF-alpha on the fibrosarcoma L-929 cells. The ED50 for a typical batch of recombinant human TNF-alpha is 40 ng/ml.

Endotoxin Level:

< 0.005 ng per µg of product (< 0.05 EU/µg) as measured by kinetic LAL assay.
