General Notes
Rat anti Mouse TNF alpha antibody, clone MP6-XT3 recognizes mouse tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF alpha), also known as TNFSF2. This 17 kDa cytokine is produced by monocytes, macrophages, neutrophils, NK cells and CD4+ T cells. TNF alpha forms dimers and trimers, and is also found as a 26 kDa integral membrane protein. Mouse TNF alpha has cytolytic activity against many tumor cell lines, and has an important immunoregulatory role.Rat anti Mouse TNF alpha antibody, clone MP6-XT3 is reported to neutralize the effects of mouse TNF alpha (Bauman et al. 2003).
