A fast and efficient method for medium scale purification of recombinant human tumor necrosis factor beta (rTNF-beta) from Escherichia coli cells is described. The purified rTNF-beta displayed biological activity similar to rTNF-alpha in a WEHI 164 cell cytotoxicity assay. The titration curve of rTNF-beta and elution profiles of rTNF-beta in gel filtration experiments were different from those of rTNF-alpha. However, light scattering and ultra-centrifugation studies showed that both cytokines have trimeric structures in solution at 0.5 mg/ml, with minor differences in the distribution of nontrimeric species. rTNF-beta bound to purified 55- and 75-kDa TNF receptors with high affinity. The binding of rTNF-beta to either receptor was analyzed on Scatchard plots and compared with that of rTNF-alpha.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008233 Lymphotoxin-alpha A tumor necrosis factor family member that is released by activated LYMPHOCYTES. Soluble lymphotoxin is specific for TUMOR NECROSIS FACTOR RECEPTOR TYPE I; TUMOR NECROSIS FACTOR RECEPTOR TYPE II; and TUMOR NECROSIS FACTOR RECEPTOR SUPERFAMILY, MEMBER 14. Lymphotoxin-alpha can form a membrane-bound heterodimer with LYMPHOTOXIN-BETA that has specificity for the LYMPHOTOXIN BETA RECEPTOR.

D011956 Receptors, Cell Surface Cell surface proteins that bind signalling molecules external to the cell with high affinity and convert this extracellular event into one or more intracellular signals that alter the behavior of the target cell (From Alberts, Molecular Biology of the Cell, 2nd ed, pp693-5). Cell surface receptors, unlike enzymes, do not chemically alter their ligands.
