(a) Two monoclonal antibodies against distinct epitopes are conjugated with oligo probes, then form a sandwich complex with the antigen. (b) Following antigen recognition by the paired antibodies, the conjugated oligonucleotides are spatially proximate, and generate an amplifiable dsDNA template under the enzymatic action. (c) qPCR amplification is then performed. CT values correlate inversely with protein concentration, and sample target concentrations are calculated via standard curve.

Kit Info N/A
Target Info Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha, TNFSF2) is the prototypic ligand of the TNF superfamily. Rat TNF-alpha consisits of a 35 amino acid (aa) cytoplasmic domain, a 21 aa transmembrane segment, and a 179 aa extracellular domain (ECD). Within the ECD, rat TNF-alpha shares 94% aa sequence identity with mouse. TNF-alpha is produced by a wide variety of immune, epithelial, endothelial, and tumor cells. TNF exists as a homotrimer and interacts with SPPL2B. TNF is mainly secreted by macrophages and can induce cell death of certain tumor cell lines. TNF is a key cytokine in the development of several inflammatory disorders. It contributes to the development of type 2 diabetes throught its effects on insulin resistance and fatty acid metabolism.
