IFN-alpha 2b | Interferon-Alpha 2b, human

Interferon alpha-2b plays a role in regulating immune responses. Its function is believed to promote an innate immune system in response to viral pathogens by acting upon external cellular receptors to stimulate a host of intracellular and extracellular activities. Extracellularly, interferon alpha-2b is thought to also enhance the expression of human leukocyte antigens (HLAs) and other HPV-specific antigens on the cell surface, thereby promoting the recognition of the infected cells by cytotoxic T cells, natural killer cells, and other cells of the innate immune response.
Full Name Interferon-Alpha 2b Human Recombinant
Synonyms Interferon alpha 2b, IFNA, INFA2, MGC125764, MGC125765.
Source E. coli
Amino Acid Sequence The sequence of the N-terminal amino acids was determined to be Met-Cys-Asp-Leu-Pro.
Molecular Weight Interferon-a 2b Human Recombinant was produced in E. coli as a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 166 amino acids and shown to exhibit a molecular mass of ≈19.4 kDa by SDS-PAGE.
Purity >95% 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 sodium phosphate dibasic (2.3 mg) and sodium phosphate monobasic (0.55 mg) buffer, 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 In a viral resistance assay using bovine kidney MDBK cells, the specific activity was determined to be 200,000,000 IU/ mg.
Usage FOR LABORATORY RESEARCH USE ONLY. Not intended for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes.
