Product overview
Mouse TNF alpha ELISA Kit (ab208348) is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of TNF alpha protein in cell culture supernatant, serum, cit plasma, edta plasma, and hep plasma. It uses our proprietary SimpleStep ELISA® technology. Quantitate Mouse TNF alpha with 9.1 pg/ml sensitivity.
SimpleStep ELISA® technology employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody used to coat our SimpleStep ELISA® plates. This approach to sandwich ELISA allows the formation of the antibody-analyte sandwich complex in a single step, significantly reducing assay time. See the SimpleStep ELISA® protocol summary in the image section for further details. Our SimpleStep ELISA® technology provides several benefits:
- Single-wash protocol reduces assay time to 90 minutes or less
- High sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility from superior antibodies
- Fully validated in biological samples
- 96-wells plate breakable into 12 x 8 wells strips
A 384-well SimpleStep ELISA® microplate (ab203359) is available to use as an alternative to the 96-well microplate provided with SimpleStep ELISA® kits.
ASSAY SPECIFICITY
This kit recognizes both native and recombinant mouse TNF alpha protein in serum, plasma, and cell culture supernatant samples only.
CROSS REACTIVITY
Recombinant mouse TNF RI, TNF RII, OPG, CD40 receptor, IL1 beta, IL-16, and IL-5 were prepared at 100 ng/mL and assayed for cross reactivity. No cross-reactivity was observed.
Recombinant human TNF alpha was prepared at 100 ng/mL, 25 ng/mL, and 3 ng/mL and assayed for cross reactivity. On average, 3.0% cross-reactivity was observed with a standard deviation of 0.7%.
INTERFERENCE
Recombinant mouse TNF RI, TNF RII, OPG, CD40 receptor, IL1 beta, IL-16, and IL-5 and recombinant human TNF alpha were prepared at 100 ng/mL and tested for interference. No interference with was observed.
SPECIES REACTIVITY
This kit recognizes mouse TNF alpha protein.
CALIBRATION
This immunoassay is calibrated against a highly purified mouse TNF alpha. The NIBSC/WHO unclassified purified mouse TNF alpha preparation 88/532 was evaluated in this kit.
The dose response curve of the unclassified standard 88/532 parallels the SimpleStep standard curve. To convert sample values obtained with the SimpleStep mouse TNF alpha kit to approximate NIBSC 88/532 units, use the equation below.
NIBSC (88/532) approximate value (units/mL) = 2.0 x SimpleStep mouse TNF alpha value (pg/mL)

Notes
Tumor necrosis factor, or TNF alpha, is a cytokine that binds to TNFRSF1A/TNFR1 and TNFRSF1B/TNFBR. Furthermore, TNF alpha is a ligand of the TNF superfamily which plays a central role in inflammation, apoptosis, proliferation, invasion, angiogenesis, metastasis, and morphogenesis. It is mainly secreted by macrophages, and can induce cell death of certain tumor cell lines. Rat and Human TNF alpha are 95% and 79% identical to Mouse TNF alpha, respectively.
TNF alpha is expressed on macrophages and endothelial, epithelial, and tumor cells as a 26 kDa transmembrane protein. TNF-alpha is cleaved by proteolytic processing into six chains: (1) TNF membrane form, (2) Intracellular domain 1 (ICD1), (3) Intracellular domain 2 (ICD2), (4) C-domain 1, (5) C-domain 2 and (6) TNF soluble form. ICD1 and ICD2 are released into the cytosol, while C-domain 1 and C-domain 2 are released into the extracellular space. Furthermore, the membrane form, but not the soluble form, is phosphorylated on serine residues. Dephosphorylation of the membrane form occurs by binding to soluble TNFRSF1A/TNFR1.
Signaling from TNF-alpha differs depending on the type of ligand initiating the signaling event (intracellular, membrane, or soluble). As an example, the membrane form of TNF-alpha appears to mediate anti-tumorigenic therapeutic responses whereas the soluble ligand is linked to inflammation and proliferation. Likewise, the TNF intracellular domain (ICD) form induces IL-12 production in dendritic cells.

Function
Cytokine that binds to TNFRSF1A/TNFR1 and TNFRSF1B/TNFBR. It is mainly secreted by macrophages and can induce cell death of certain tumor cell lines. It is potent pyrogen causing fever by direct action or by stimulation of interleukin-1 secretion and is implicated in the induction of cachexia, Under certain conditions it can stimulate cell proliferation and induce cell differentiation. -
Involvement in disease
Genetic variations in TNF are a cause of susceptibility psoriatic arthritis (PSORAS) [MIM:607507]. PSORAS is an inflammatory, seronegative arthritis associated with psoriasis. It is a heterogeneous disorder ranging from a mild, non-destructive disease to a severe, progressive, erosive arthropathy. Five types of psoriatic arthritis have been defined: asymmetrical oligoarthritis characterized by primary involvement of the small joints of the fingers or toes; asymmetrical arthritis which involves the joints of the extremities; symmetrical polyarthritis characterized by a rheumatoidlike pattern that can involve hands, wrists, ankles, and feet; arthritis mutilans, which is a rare but deforming and destructive condition; arthritis of the sacroiliac joints and spine (psoriatic spondylitis). -
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the tumor necrosis factor family. -
Post-translational
modificationsThe soluble form derives from the membrane form by proteolytic processing.
The membrane form, but not the soluble form, is phosphorylated on serine residues. Dephosphorylation of the membrane form occurs by binding to soluble TNFRSF1A/TNFR1.
O-glycosylated; glycans contain galactose, N-acetylgalactosamine and N-acetylneuraminic acid. -

Assay sensitivityThe calculated minimal detectable dose (MDD) is determined by calculating the mean of zero standard replicates and adding 2 standard deviations then extrapolating the corresponding concentrations. The MDD is dependent on the Sample Diluent buffer used.
