Target Background
Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF alpha), also known as lymphotoxin and cachectin, is a pleiotropic cytokine. TNF alpha is a smaller cytokine with a molecular weight of 26 kDa (transmembrane) and 17 kDa (soluble) that binds to the same receptors producing a vast array of effects similar to those of TNF-beta. Both TNF-alpha and TNF-beta share 30% amino acid homology and have similar biological activities. TNF-alpha is produced primarily by monocytes, neutrophils and macrophages. It is found in synovial cells and macrophages in the tissues. TNF-alpha and TNF-beta can modulate many immune and inflammatory functions, while having the ability to inhibit tumor growth. Target tumor cells must express TNF receptors 1 (55 kDa) and 2 (75 kDa) to be killed, with the p55 receptor mediating the cytotoxic response.
