Product Details anti-TNF alpha Antibody

Brand: BD Pharmingen™

Characteristics: 1. Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
2. Please refer to us for technical protocols.
3. Caution: Sodium azide yields highly toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in plumbing.

Purification: The monoclonal antibody was purified from tissue culture supernatant or ascites by affinity chromatography.

Immunogen: Recombinant mouse TNF

Isotype: IgG1

Application Details

Application Notes: Blocking Control for Intracellular Staining:
The purified MP6-XT22 antibody (ABIN967462) can be used as a blocking control to demonstrate specificity of TNF protein staining by directly conjugated -MP6-XT22 antibody. To perform this control, the fixed/permeabilized cells (~ 1 million) can be incubated with 1 -10 µg of unlabeled MP6-XT22 antibody (ABIN967462) for 20 minutes at 4°C, prior to staining with directly conjugated antibody (e.g., 0.1 -0.5 µg mAb/1 million cells). The intracellular cytokine staining technique and use of blocking controls are described in detail by C. Prussin and D. Metcalfe.

ELISA Capture:
The purified MP6-XT22 antibody (ABIN967462) is useful as a capture antibody for a sandwich ELISA for measuring mouse TNF protein levels. Purified MP6-XT22 antibody can be paired with the biotinylated polyclonal rabbit anti-mouse/rat TNF antibody as the detecting antibody, with recombinant mouse TNF as the standard. This pair measures total TNF, free TNF as well as TNF bound by soluble receptors.
Note : This ELISA pair is recommended primarily for measuring cytokine from experimental cell culture systems. These ELISA reagents are not recommended for assaying serum or plasma samples.

WB:
The MP6-XT22 antibody has been reported to be useful for Western blotting. Please note that this application is not routinely tested.

Target Details for TNF alpha

Target: TNF alpha (Tumor Necrosis Factor alpha (TNF alpha))

Alternative Name: TNF

Background: The MP6-XT22 antibody reacts with mouse tumor necrosis factor (TNF, also known as TNF-alpha). The immunogen used to generate this hybridoma was recombinant mouse TNF. This antibody is routinely tested by flow cytometric analysis.
