IFN-alpha 2a Human Recombinant
At least 23 different variants of IFN-alpha are known. The individual proteins have molecular masses between 19-26 kDa and consist of proteins with lengths of 156-166 and 172 amino acids. All IFN-alpha subtypes possess a common conserved sequence region between amino acid positions 115-151 while the amino-terminal ends are variable. Many IFN-alpha subtypes differ in their sequences at only one or two positions. Naturally occurring variants also include proteins truncated by 10 amino acids at the carboxy-terminal end.
Full Name | Interferon-Alpha 2a Human Recombinant |
Synonyms | Leukocyte interferon, B cell interferon, Type I interferon, IFNA2, IFN-a 2a. |
Source | E. coli |
Amino Acid Sequence | The sequence of the first fifteen N-terminal amino acids was determined and was found to be Met-Cys-Asp-Leu-Pro-Gln-Thr-His-Ser-Leu-Gly-Ser-Arg- Arg-Thr-Leu. |
Molecular Weight | Recombinant Human IFN-alpha 2a produced in E. coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 165 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 19kDa. |
Purity | >95% as determined by SDS-PAGE and HPLC |
Endotoxin | Endotoxin level was found to be ≤ 0.1 ng/µg(1EU/µg) by LAL gel clot method. |
Formulation | Lyophilized from a 0.2µm filtered solution of 20mM PB,150mM NaCl,pH7.2. |
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. Be cautious and avoid potential contamination with bacteria and endotoxin |
Stability | The lyophilized form of the protein is stable at room temperature for 3 weeks and at -20°C for at least 2 years from the date of receipt. Upon reconstitution, the protein should be stored at 4°C for no more than 7 days. The protein is stable at -20°C for six months. For long term storage, please store at -80°C and the addition of a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA) is recommended. Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |
Biological Activity | The specific activity as determined in a viral resistance assay using VSV-WISH cells was found to be greater than 1.0 x 108 IU/ mg. |
Usage | LABORATORY RESEARCH USE ONLY. Not intended for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes. |
