Typical Testing Data/Standard Curve (for reference only)
Principle of the Assay: The Picokine� Mouse Tnf Pre-Coated ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) kit is a solid-phase immunoassay specially designed to measure Mouse Tnf with a 96-well strip plate that is pre-coated with antibody specific for Tnf. The detection antibody is a biotinylated antibody specific for Tnf. The capture antibody is monoclonal antibody from hamster and the detection antibody is polyclonal antibody from goat. The kit contains recombinant Mouse Tnf with immunogen: Expression system for standard: E.coli; Immunogen sequence: L80-L235. The kit is analytically validated with ready-to-use reagents. To measure Mouse Tnf, add standards and samples to the wells, then add the biotinylated detection antibody. Wash the wells with PBS or TBS buffer, and add Avidin-Biotin-Peroxidase Complex (ABC-HRP). Wash away the unbounded ABC-HRP with PBS or TBS buffer and add TMB. TMB is an HRP substrate and will be catalyzed to produce a blue color product, which changes into yellow after adding the acidic stop solution. The absorbance of the yellow product at 450nm is linearly proportional to Mouse Tnf in the sample. Read the absorbance of the yellow product in each well using a plate reader, and benchmark the sample wells\' readings against the standard curve to determine the concentration of Mouse Tnf in the sample.
Background/Introduction: Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha, or TNF) is secreted by macrophages in response to inflammation, infection and cancer. Human Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF) and Lymphotoxin (TNF-beta) are cytotoxic proteins which have similar biological activities and share 30% amino acid homology. TNF-alpha is produced by monocytes, which can stimulate endothelial cells to produce the multilineage growth factor granulocytemacrophage colony-stimulating factor and extend the role of this immunoregulatory protein to the regulation of hematopoiesis in vitro. TNF is a soluble protein that causes damage to tumor cells but has no effect on normal cells. Human TNF has been purified to apparent homogeneity as a 17.3-kilodalton protein from HL-60 leukemia cells and has showed cytotoxic and cytostatic activities against various human tumor cell lines. The human TNF cDNA is 1585 base pairs in length and encodes a protein of 233 amino acids. The mature protein begins at residue 77, leaving a long leader sequence of 76 amino acids. TNF-alpha has been mapped to human chromosome 6.
