TNF-α Neutralization Assay
1. Plate 2 x 104 murine L929B cells into individual wells of 96-well (flat bottomed) microtiter plate.
2. Incubate overnight at 37°C in humidified 5% CO2 incubator.
3. The next day, prepare serial dilutions of anti-TNF (human) in medium containing 2 μg/mL of actinomycin D, for a final volume of 50 μL
4. Add 50 μL of TNF (10 ng/mL final concentration) to each antibody dilution and incubate for 1 hour at 37°C.
5. Add 100 μL of the antibody/antigen mixture to the pre-seeded L929B cells.
6. Incubate 24 hours at 37°C, 5% CO2.
7. Score wells for cytotoxicity.
Optimal working dilutions must be determined by the end user.
