Contributor: Suprya Jayadev
Date: August 15, 1991



Krebs-Ringer-Hepes Buffer (w/ BSA):

NaCl 7.112 g
KCl 0.365 g
MgSO4 - 7 H2O 0.3 g
CaCl2 - 2 H2O 0.1 g
Hepes 2.86 g

--> adjust pH to 7.4

BSA* to 0.1%

--> readjust pH to 7.4
--> qs to 1 liter volume
--> filter sterilize

* = charcoal treated, fatty acid free BSA


Resuspend 1 mg of TNFa in 0.5 ml of Krebs-Ringer-Hepes Buffer containing BSA

--> 117.6 µM solutin or

1 mg of TNFa resuspended in 0.588 ml of KRH/BSA buffer is a 100 µM solution
