Anti-Human TNF alfa (Adalimumab) Fc Muted

Expression Host : HEK-293 Pathogen Testing : To protect mouse colonies from infection by pathogens and to assure that experimental preclinical data is not affected by such pathogens, all of this recombinant biosimilar antibodies are tested and guaranteed to be negative for all pathogens in the IDEXX IMPACT I Mouse Profile. This non-therapeutic biosimilar antibody uses the same variable region sequence as the therapeutic antibody Adalimumab. Clone D2E7 binds to soluble TNF- alpha, but not to TNF- beta (lymphotoxin) . This product is for research use only. Adalimumab is a research-grade monoclonal antibody that works by inactivating tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) . TNF-alpha is a 17.5 kD protein that mediates inflammation and immunity caused by the invasion of viruses, bacteria, and parasites by initiating a cascade of cytokines that increase vascular permeability, thus bringing macrophages and neutrophils to the site of infection. TNF-alpha secreted by the macrophage causes the blood to clot which provides containment of the infection. TNF-alpha inactivation has proven to be important in downregulating the inflammatory reactions associated with autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, Crohn's disease, moderate to severe chronic psoriasis, and juvenile idiopathic arthritis. Adalimumab blocks the interaction with the p55 and p75 cell surface TNF receptors thus, neutralizing the biological function of TNF. Anti-Human TNF alpha (Adalimumab) utilizes the same variable regions from the therapeutic antibody Adalimumab making it ideal for research projects.
