Abstract excerpt
Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) is a pleiotropic cytokine with a wide range of biological activities including cytotoxicity, immune-cell proliferation, and mediation of inflammatory responses. Mutational analysis of mature TNF has been facilitated by the high expression levels that were obtained in Escherichia coli cells. Furthermore, the fact that mature TNF does not form inclusion bodies, but remains soluble in...
