Biological activities of human tumor necrosis factor-alpha and its novel mutants.

Biochemistry and molecular biology international - 1 May 1996

Abstract excerpt

Biological activities of human tumor necrosis factor-alpha (hTNF-alpha) and its mutants were compared. In cytotoxicity assay with L929 cells, one mutant, designated as TNF-B, showed 4.5-fold higher activity than TNF examined. In receptor binding assay, TNF-B had almost the same affinity for TNF receptors on L929 cells as hTNF-alpha. We also found that TNF-B retained the cytotoxicity of hTNF-alpha for HEp-2 cells....
