Active Tumor Necrosis Factor Beta (TNFb) (APA134Hu01)

TNF-β, a member of the tumor necrosis factor family, is a potent lymphoid factor that exerts cytotoxic effects on a wide range of tumor cells. The biological effects of TNF-β are very similar to TNF-α, due to the similarity of molecular structure and the receptors. As reported, TNF-β could inhibit the proliferation and induce necrosis of A549 cells, and the concentration of IL-1β in cell supernatant will increase after stimulation. Therefore, A549 cells were incubated in DMEM with TNF-β (10ng/mL) for 8h, 24h, 48h, 72h, then cells were observed by inverted microscope and IL-1β was detected in the cell supernatant by ELISA . Cell necrosis after incubation with TNF-β(10ng/mL) for 72h was shown in Figure 1.

The production of IL-1β after incubation with TNF-β (10ng/mL) for 8h is shown in Table 1.
