Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFSF2, TNF alpha) is a member of the TNF Superfamily. TNF alpha, being an endogenous pyrogen, is able to induce fever, to induce apoptotic cell death, to induce sepsis (through IL-1 & IL-6 production), to induce cachexia, induce inflammation, and to inhibit tumorigenesis and viral replication. Mouse TNF alpha Recombinant Protein is purified TNF alpha (TNFSF2) produced in yeast.
