Abstract

Tumour necrosis factor (TNF), released by induced macrophages, causes tumour necrosis in animals and kills preferentially transformed cells in vitro. mRNA induced in the established mouse monocytic PU 5.1.8 cell line by lipopolysaccharide, was converted into double-stranded cDNA and cloned in the pAT153 vector. Recombinant plasmids were screened by plus-minus hybridization and TNF-specific oligonucleotide probes constructed on the basis of partial amino acid sequences of rabbit TNF. A series of TNF specific clones were identified and confirmed by hybrid selection of mouse TNF-specific mRNA. The sequence codes for a 235 amino acids long polypeptide, of which 156 amino acids presumably correspond to the mature product. It can be concluded that mature mouse TNF is a glycosylated dimer. Biologically active TNF was secreted by both Cos-I and CHO-cells transfected with the chimaeric expression vector pSV2d2-mTNF containing the coding region of the mouse TNF cDNA gene.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
