The biological activity is measured by its ability to neutralize the TNF-? mediated cytotoxicity in mouse L-929 cells in the presence of the metabolic inhibitor actinomycin D.
Application
Tumor Necrosis Factor Soluble Receptor II (TNF sRII)/Fc Chimera human can be used as a test compound for analyzing the interaction between tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and its two soluble receptors by using surface plasmon resonance (SPR) technique.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Tumor Necrosis Factor Soluble Receptor II (TNF sRII)/Fc Chimera human belongs to TNF family of receptors and mediates the metabolic effects of TNF-?. Tumor Necrosis Factor Soluble Receptor II blocks the TNF-?-induced apoptosis and hence regulates the TNF-? function. It also has a pivotal role in neutralizing the biological activities of both TNF-? and TNF-?.
Physical form
