Fig 4. Characterization of the purified AK-TNFα and cleaved TNFα.
(A) SEC-HPLC analysis of the purity and estimation of the molecular-weight of AK-TNFα and TNFα. (B) Analysis of the biological function (L929 assay) and determination of the IC50 of AK-TNFα and cleaved TNFα in comparison to a commercial source of TNFα (R&D Systems). Data presented were representative of at least three independent experiments.
