R Hu TNF a 1 Right

High quality cGMP materials.
See why everyone is choosing Akron cytokines.

Akron’s Recombinant Human Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha (rHu TNF-α) product is manufactured following all relevant cGMP guidelines for ancillary materials. Akron’s rHu TNF-α is a glycosylated cytokine analog expressed in yeast. Its active form is a homo-trimer with subunit molecular weights of approximately 17.4 kDa. The lyophilized product is packaged into vials and available in 25 µg and 50 µg aliquots.

In vivo, TNF-α is an endogenous pyrogen that can induce fever and apoptosis. There are both soluble and bound forms of TNF-α, and two different receptors which it signals through. This allows it to act in one of two opposite ways; it can be pro-inflammatory inducing apoptosis, or anti-inflammatory inducing proliferation. TNF-α is produced by a wide array of cell types in the body and causes a myriad of responses. Akron’s cGMP-compliant rHu TNF-α can be used to promote ex vivo responses from B cells, natural killer (NK) cells, neutrophils, hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), hematopoietic progenitors, endothelial cells, and neurons
