Scientific Data Images for Porcine TNF-alpha Antibody
Cytotoxicity Induced by TNF-alpha and Neutralization by Porcine TNF-alpha Antibody.
Recombinant Porcine TNF-a (Catalog # 690-PT) induces cytotoxicity in the the PK-15 porcine kidney epithelial cell line in a dose-dependent manner (orange line), as measured by crystal violet staining. Cytotoxicity elicited by Recombinant Porcine TNF-a (0.05 ng/mL) is neutralized (green line) by increasing concentrations of Goat Anti-Porcine TNF-a Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF690). The ND50 is typically 0.2-0.8 µg/mL in the presence of the metabolic inhibitor actinomycin D (1 µg/mL).
TNF‑ alpha in Porcine PBMCs.
TNF-a was detected in immersion fixed porcine peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) treated with calcium ionomycin and PMA using Goat Anti-Porcine TNF-a Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF690) at 15 µg/mL for 3 hours at room temperature. Cells were stained using the NorthernLights™ 557-conjugated Anti-Goat IgG Secondary Antibody (red; Catalog # NL001) and counterstained with DAPI (blue). Specific staining was localized to cytoplasm.

Detection of Porcine TNF-alpha by Western Blot
Inflammatory response in PAMs induced by PRRSV 5′UTR RNA and LPS. A, B PAMs were transfected with different doses of 5′UTR RNA (1, 2, and 4 μg/well) along with 1 μg/mL LPS. qRT-PCR and Western blot results showed that compared with PAMs in other groups, PAMs in the 4 μg 5′UTR RNA and 1 μg/mL LPS co-stimulation group produced higher levels of IL-1 beta (p < 0.05). C After co-stimulation, the relative expression level of IL-1 beta mRNA obtained was similar at the 12 and 24 h time-points. D 5′UTR RNA and LPS co-stimulation induced IL-1 beta expression in cells and supernatants. E, F 5′UTR RNA and LPS co-stimulation induced increased levels of IL-6, IL-8 and TNF-alpha mRNA and protein. Expression was normalized to that of GAPDH. Different letters (a, b, c, d, and e) on data indicate significant differences between groups (p < 0.05).

Background: TNF-alpha
Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha), also known as cachectin and TNFSF2, is the prototypic ligand of the TNF superfamily. It is a pleiotropic molecule that plays a central role in inflammation, apoptosis, and immune system development. TNF-alpha is produced by a wide variety of immune and epithelial cell types (1, 2). Porcine TNF-alpha consisits of a 35 amino acid (aa) cytoplasmic domain, a 21 aa transmembrane segment, and a 176 aa extracellular domain (ECD) (3). Within the ECD, porcine TNF-alpha shares 69%‑86% aa sequence identity with bovine, canine, cotton rat, equine, feline, human, mouse, rat, and rhesus TNF-alpha. The 26 kDa type 2 transmembrane protein is assembled intracellularly to form a noncovalently linked homotrimer (4). Ligation of this complex induces reverse signaling that promotes lymphocyte costimulation but diminishes monocyte responsiveness (5). Cleavage of membrane bound TNF-alpha by TACE/ADAM17 releases a 55 kDa soluble trimeric form of TNF-alpha (6, 7). TNF-alpha trimers bind the ubiquitous TNF RI and the hematopoietic cell-restricted TNF RII, both of which are also expressed as homotrimers (1, 8). TNF-alpha regulates lymphoid tissue development through control of apoptosis (2). It also promotes inflammatory responses by inducing the activation of vascular endothelial cells and macrophages (2). TNF-alpha is a key cytokine in the development of several inflammatory disorders (9). It contributes to the development of type 2 diabetes through its effects on insulin resistance and fatty acid metabolism (10, 11).
