Recombinant human TNF alpha protein (Active) (ab259410)

Wild-type A549 control cells or IP-10 knockout A549 cells (ab266969), grown to 40% confluency, were stimulated with Recombinant Human Interferon gamma protein (ab259377) at 100 ng/ml and Recombinant human TNF alpha protein (ab259410) at 10 ng/ml or vehicle control for 16 or 32 hours.

THP-1 cells, grown to 40% confluency, were stimulated with Recombinant Human Interferon gamma protein (ab259377) at 200 ng/ml and LPS at 50 ng/mL or vehicle control for 24 hours.

The concentrations of IP-10 (CXCL10) in cell culture supernatants were measured in duplicate and interpolated from the IP-10 standard curves using Human IP-10 ELISA Kit (ab173194) . IP-10 from vehicle control samples were measured in undiluted supernatants and the treated samples were diluted 200 times. The interpolated dilution factor corrected values are plotted (mean +/- SD, n=2).

Fully biologically active when compared to standard. The ED₅₀ as determined by the dose-dependant Killing/apoptosis of L-929 cells is 0.71 ng/mL corresponding to a Specific Activity of 1.41 x 10⁶ IU/mg.

Sandwich ELISA - Recombinant human TNF alpha protein standard curve.

Background subtracted standard curve using Human TNF alpha Antibody Pair - BSA and Azide free (ab241791) and Recombinant human TNF alpha protein (Active) (ab259410) in sandwich ELISA. The ELISA was performed using the components of the corresponding SimpleStep® kit, which uses the same antibody pair with a different formulation and format.

Flow cytometry overlay histogram showing wild-type A549 (green line) and VCAM1 knockout A549 cells (red line, ab273758), treated with 10 ng/ml TNF-alpha for 16 h (left) and untreated (right), stained with ab103173. The cells were incubated in 1x PBS containing 10% normal goat serum to block non-specific protein-protein interaction followed by the antibody (ab103173) (1x10⁶ in 100μl at 0.2μg/ml) for 30 min at 4°C.

Isotype control antibody mouse IgG1κ Allophycocyanin was used at the same concentration and conditions as the primary antibody (wild-type A549 - black line VCAM knockout A549 - grey line). Unlabelled sample was also used as a control (this line is not shown for the purpose of simplicity).

Acquisition of >5000 events were collected using a 40 mW Red laser (638nm) and 660/10 bandpass filter.

Lanes 1 - 6: Merged signal (red and green). Green - ab214668 observed at 11 kDa. Red - loading control ab8245 (Mouse anti-GAPDH antibody [6C5]) observed at 37kDa.

ab214668 was shown to react with IP10 in wild-type A549 cells in western blot with loss of signal observed in IP10 knockout cell line ab266971 (knockout cell lysate ab256888). Wild-type and IP10 knockout A549 cell lysates were subjected to SDS-PAGE. Membranes were blocked in fluorescent western blot (TBS-based) blocking solution before incubation with ab214668 and ab8245 (Mouse anti-GAPDH antibody [6C5]) overnight at 4°C at a 1 in 1000 dilution and a 1 in 20000 dilution respectively. Blots were incubated with Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye^® 800CW) preabsorbed (ab216773) and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye^® 800CW) preabsorbed (ab216772) secondary antibodies at 1 in 20000 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature before imaging.

Lanes 1 - 4: Merged signal (red and green). Green - ab137018 observed at 11 kDa. Red - loading control ab8245 (Mouse anti-GAPDH antibody [6C5]) observed at 37kDa.

ab137018 was shown to react with IP10 in A549 wild-type cells in western blot with loss of signal observed in IP10 knockout cell line ab266969 (IP10 knockout cell lysate ab256886). A549 wild-type and IP10 knockout cell lysates were subjected to SDS-PAGE. Membranes were blocked in fluorescent western blot (TBS-based) blocking solution before incubation with ab137018 and ab8245 (Mouse anti-GAPDH antibody [6C5]) overnight at 4°C at a 1 in 500 dilution and a 1 in 20000 dilution respectively. Blots were incubated with Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye^® 800CW) preabsorbed (ab216773) and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye^® 800CW) preabsorbed (ab216772) secondary antibodies at 1 in 20000 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature before imaging.

Purity: 100%

The spectrum was recorded using a 1260 Infinity II HPLC system with DAD and a MabPac RP column (3.0x100 mm, 4 µm). 5 µL of purified protein was injected and the gradient run from 80 % water:TFA (99.9:0.1 v/v) and 20 % acetonitrile:water:TFA (90:9.9:0.1 v/v/v) to 20 % water:TFA (99.9:0.1 v/v) and 80 % acetonitrile:water:TFA (90:9.9:0.1 v/v/v) within 3 minutes followed by an isocratic step for another 3 min. Flow rate was 0.5 mL/min and the column compartment temperature was 50 °C.

M + 0.2 Da (calc. mass 17409.8 Da)

The spectrum was recorded with a 6545XT AdvanceBio LC/Q-TOF (Agilent Technologies) and a MabPac RP column (42.1x50 mm, 4 µm, Thermo Scientific). 5 µL of purified protein was injected and the gradient run from 85 % water:FA (99.9:0.1 v/v) and 15 % acetonitrile:FA (90:9.9:0.1 v/v/v) to 55 % water:FA (99.9:0.1 v/v) and 45 % acetonitrile:FA (90:9.9:0.1 v/v/v) within 3 minutes followed by an isocratic step for another 2.5 min. Flow rate was 0.4 mL/min and the column compartment temperature was 60 °C. Data was analysed and deconvoluted using the Bioconfirm software (Agilent Technologies).
