Requirement of endogenous tumor necrosis factor/cachectin for recovery from experimental peritonitis [PDF]
, 1990 By intrasplenic immunization we raised a rat mAb (mAb V1q; IgG2a, kappa) with a potent neutralizing activity against natural mouse TNF (1 microgram/ml mAb V1q/100 U/ml TNF). mAb V1q was used to study the role of endogenous TNF in experimental peritonitis
