IFN-a 1a (Interferon-Alpha 1a), Human Recombinant, E.coli

Type I interferons was first discovered that virally infected cells secrete a substance that prevents the infection of other cells with virus. Now, This substance called interferon, and comprised of a mixture of multiple subtypes that include alpha, beta, omega, kappa, epsilon, tau and zeta interferon. Interferon (IFN)-alpha is an innate immune cytokine that has both antiviral and anti-proliferative activities and is therefore used to treat infectious diseases and cancer, meanwhile, IFN-alpha is a regulatory secretory protein with distinctive biological effects such as antiproliferative actions against many tumor cell lines. For another, some research support that IFN-alpha has been used to study the effects of innate immune cytokines on the brain and behavior in humans. In the clinical operation, INF-alpha is used for treatment of HIV and Hepatitis C infections. IFN-α comprises a family of multiple subtypes and IFA-α therapies is based on a single IFN-α subtype.

Molecular Weight Recombinant Interferon alpha was produced in E. coli as a non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 166 amino acids and shown to exhibit a Molecular Weight of approximately 19 kDa by SDS-PAGE (under reducing and non-reducing conditions). The IFN-a 1a was purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Purity >97% as determined by SDS-PAGE and HPLC
Endotoxin Endotoxin level was found to be ≤ 0.1 ng/µg(1EU/µg) by a LAL gel clot method.
Formulation Lyophilized from a PBS solution pH7.2, filtered with a membrane (0.2 µm) .
Reconstitution To reconstitute the protein, add sterile water to the lyophilized protein and make a preparation with a concentration ≥0.1mg/ml. The preparation can be diluted into other appropriate buffers if necessary. Cautions should be taken to avoid bacterial growth, resulting in potential contamination with endotoxin.
Stability Once lyophilized, the protein is stable at room temperature (≈3 weeks) and at -20°C (≥ 2 years from the date of receipt).Upon reconstitution, it can be stored at 4°C (≤ 7 days) or at -20°C (≤ 6 months). For long term storage, please store at -80°C and the addition of a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA) is recommended.Avoid frequent freeze-thaw cycles.
Biological Activity The specific activity was determined to be 100MIU/ mg by using a viral resistance assay in Human WISH cells.
Usage FOR LABORATORY RESEARCH USE ONLY. Not intended for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes.
