The antibody MR2-1 reacts with the extra-cellular part of the TNF-RII. It also reacts with the soluble receptor. TNF-RII is present on most cell types and is considered to play a prominent role in cell stimulation by TNF-alpha. TNF-RII molecule is shown to be responsible for stimulation of activated T-lymphocytes by TNF-alpha. The antibody cross reacts with rhesus and cynomolgus natural TNF-RII.
