The viability of L-929 cells, treated with hTNF-α #8902, in the presence of 1 μg/ml actinomycin D was determined. After 24 hour treatment with hTNF-α, viable cells were stained with a tetrazolium salt and the OD 450 was determined.
The neutralization ability of Human TNF-α Neutralizing (D1B4) Rabbit mAb on hTNF-α-induced cell cytotoxicity was assessed by adding increasing concentrations of antibody with 1 ng/ml of hTNF-α #8902, before addition to L-929 cells in the presence of 1 μg/ml actinomycin D. After 24 hour incubation, viable cells were stained and % neutralization was calculated.
