Description
The Quantikine Rat TNF-alpha Immunoassay is a 4.5 hour solid phase ELISA designed to measure rat TNF-alpha levels in cell culture supernates, serum, and plasma. It contains E. coli-expressed recombinant rat TNF-alpha and antibodies raised against the recombinant factor. This immunoassay has been shown to quantitate the recombinant rat TNF-alpha accurately. Results obtained using natural rat TNF-alpha showed dose response curves that were parallel to the standard curves obtained using the recombinant kit standards. These results indicate that this kit can be used to determine relative mass values for natural rat TNF-alpha
