Catalog / TNF-α antibodies
TNF-α antibodies
We make 14 TNF-α antibodies for 5 species, unconjugated or conjugated to biotin. This page explains how they differ, so you can pick the one your experiment needs.
Rather use a ready-made kit? See our TNF-α ELISA kits and TNF-α ELISpot kits.
What differs between these antibodies
Which species they are for
Available for Human, Mouse, Bovine, Human/monkey, and Porcine. The species decides which clones there are, so it is the first thing to choose. Many also cross-react with related species, so if you work in one we do not list here, check the reactivity on the product page.
Which clone
We make 13 TNF-α antibody clones. A clone is one specific antibody that binds one site on its target, so it is what you cite or reorder by name. A sandwich assay needs two clones that bind different sites; the capture and detection pairs below are matched for that.
Which conjugate
Unconjugated antibodies carry no label. You coat a plate with them as the capture antibody, or use them where the antibody itself is the reagent. Biotinylated antibodies are detected with a streptavidin conjugate, such as streptavidin-ALP or streptavidin-HRP.
Capture and detection pairs
To build your own TNF-α ELISA or ELISpot, coat with the unconjugated capture antibody and detect with the biotinylated detection antibody, then a streptavidin conjugate. These are the same pairs our own kits use.

About TNF-α
Tumor necrosis factor (TNF), also known as TNF-α, is produced by many different cell types, e.g., monocytes, macrophages, T cells, and B cells. Among the many effects of TNF-α are protection against bacterial infection, cell growth modulation, immune system regulation, and involvement in septic shock.
