The AlphaLISA Human TNFα Biotin-Free Detection Kit is designed for the quantitative detection of human TNFα in serum, cell culture medium, and other samples types using a homogeneous (no wash steps, no separation steps) assay. The biotin-free kit uses anti-DIG (anti-Digoxin) Donor beads instead of streptavidin Donor beads, which makes the kit compatible with high-biotin culture media and other sample types that contain high levels biotin (including brain/liver tissue extracts, milk and eggs).

Features and Benefits:
Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha is a multifunctional proinflammatory cytokine synthesized mainly by nucleated blood cells as a 233 aa type II transmembrane protein which is cleaved by ADAM17 between aa76-77 to form a soluble homotrimeric complex. TNFα plays a role in lipid metabolism, coagulation and endothelial function and has been associated with cancer, infection and inflammation (including inflammatory bowel disease), ischemia/reperfusion injury and heart failure, and insulin resistance. This kit is used when the analyte is in a matrix containing high levels of biotin, such as can be found in cell culture media such as RPMI, or milk.
AlphaLISA technology allows the detection of molecules of interest in a no-wash, highly sensitive, quantitative assay. In an AlphaLISA biotin-free assay, a DIG-labeled anti-analyte antibody binds to the anti-DIG-coated Donor beads while another anti-analyte antibody is conjugated to AlphaLISA Acceptor beads. In the presence of the analyte, the beads come into close proximity. The excitation of the Donor beads causes the release of singlet oxygen molecules that triggers a cascade of energy transfer in the Acceptor beads, resulting in a sharp peak of light emission at 615 nm.

Breast cancer tumors can adapt to immune cell infiltration by responding to the increased concentration of interferon gamma (IFN-ɣ) and other cytokines secreted by subsets of T lymphocytes with the upregulation of the immune checkpoint proteins such as Programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1). These checkpoint proteins allow the tumors to evade immune targeting and reduce the immune response, thus promoting tumor progression.
In this application note, you will learn:
Various cytokines are secreted during an active immune response that can have modulatory effects on target cell populations, including interferon gamma (IFN-ɣ), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFa) and several interleukins.
