An expression plasmid encoding the extracellular domain of the 75-kDa human tumor necrosis factor (TNF) type 2 receptor (TNF-R2) was constructed and used to generate a stable cell line secreting soluble TNF-R2 (sTNF-R2). Purified sTNF-R2 was resolved by SDS-PAGE into one band of approximate M(r) 43,000, consistent with a molecular weight of 36,000 +/- 4800 obtained by sedimentation equilibrium analysis. The apparent molecular weight observed by gel filtration chromatography was approximately 136,000. Glycosylation analysis revealed that Asn-149 is fully glycosylated, while Asn-171 is incompletely glycosylated (approximately 50%), and that a proline-, serine-, and threonine-rich region (residues 175-234) contains O-linked carbohydrate structures. Scatchard analysis of [125I]TNF-alpha and [125I]TNF-beta binding to sTNF-R2 gave dissociation constants (Kd) of 0.3 and 0.75 nM, respectively, comparable to those observed for intact cell-surface TNF-R2. The sTNF-R2 was found to block the cytotoxicity of both TNF-alpha and TNF-beta in a murine L-M cell assay. The sizes of the sTNF-R2.TNF-alpha and sTNF-R2.TNF-beta complexes determined by gel filtration chromatography were approximately 322 and 204 kDa, respectively. The stoichiometry of the sTNF-R2.TNF-alpha and sTNF-R2.TNF-beta complexes were examined by size-exclusion chromatography, sedimentation equilibrium, and cross-linking. The data from these studies suggest that at least two molecules of sTNF-R2 can bind to a single TNF-alpha or TNF-beta trimer.
