Source:
A BALB/c mouse was immunized with human rTNF-alpha.
Fusion partner: NS-1.

Specifications:
EBS-O-175 reacts with human TNF-alpha and not with mouse TNF-alpha. This antibody neutralises Hu-rTNFa-mediated cytotoxicity of L929 cells and inhibits tumor growth in mice. Itprotects mice against toxicity of Hu-rTNFa.

Species reactivity:
Positive: human. Negative: mouse.

Applications:
Detection of TNF-alpha and in vivo studies.
Blocking function: +
ELISA: +
