TNF alpha Monoclonal / FITC / REA636

Product Details

Description	Clone REA636 recognizes the mouse tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) antigen, a 17 kDa cytokine that binds to TNFRSF1A/TNFR1 and TNFRSF1B/TNFBR. TNF-α is produced by cells that are involved in inflammatory immune responses. It is secreted by activated CD4+ T cells, monocytes, macrophages, NK cells, and neutrophils. TNF-α binding to surface receptors elicits a wide array of biologic activities, including cytolysis and cytostasis of many tumor cell lines in vitro, hemorraghic necrosis of tumors in vivo, increased fibroblast proliferation, and enhanced chemotaxis and phagocytosis in neutrophils. Furthermore it causes fever by direct action or by stimulation of interleukin-1 secretion. \| Additional information: Clone REA636 displays negligible binding to Fc receptors.

About FITC
Fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) has an excitation peak at 495 nm and an emission peak at 519 nm. The name FITC is a misnomer in that the isothiocyanate is a reactive form of this dye. Once FITC is conjugated to an antibody, it is simply Fluorescein conjugated. FITC is one of the most widely used dyes for fluorescent applications, therefore most instruments come standard with a 488 nm laser and FITC filter set up. FITC is commonly conjugated to secondary antibodies and used in applications such as flow cytometry, immunocytochemistry, and immunohistochemistry. FITC is relatively dim, sensitive to photobleaching and it is susceptible to changes is pH. There are better performing alternatives to FITC, like Vio®Bright 515, Alexa Fluor™ 488, iFluor® 488, CF®488A and DY-488. FITC is a long-time generic dye with no sole manufacturer or trademark.
