Study on Cloning and Expression of TNF-α Variants in E. coli: Production, Purification, and Interaction with Anti-TNF-α Inhibitors.

This study was the first to analyze binding efficiency of homemade sTNF-α protein against three major TNF-α inhibitors (adalimumab, etanercept, and infliximab) in a single study. The high binding efficiency of sTNF-α with adalimumab, etanercept, and infliximab, evidenced in this study supports the feasibility of its use in therapeutic applications, contributing to more sustainable, cost-effective, and independent healthcare system.
