Anyone have a trans-membrane TNF alpha expressing mammalian cell line?

09 September 2018 1 6K Report

Anyone have a trans-membrane TNF alpha expressing mammalian cell line that you would be willing to share a couple vials of? Just need it for a FACS binding assay.

I cant find any for sale online, and don't want to delay my project with the unnecessary work that goes into the gene synthesis, cloning, transfection, selection, validation etc.

I asked ABM (www.abmgood.com) about this cell line before, and they said they were in the process of obtaining it. You can check with them to see if they have it abailable.
