Description
Interferon-gamma (IFN-γ), also known as Type II interferon or immune interferon, is a pleiotropic cytokine which is now recognised as an important modulator of the immune response. Mature human IFN-γ exists as a non-covalently linked homodimer of 20-25 kDa variably glycosylated subunits. It shares 90% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with rhesus IFN-γ, 59%64% with bovine, canine, equine, feline, and porcine IFN-γ, and 37%43% with cotton rat, mouse, and rat IFN-γ. Interferons have had increasing clinical usage in the treatment of a variety of disorders, at times being used in combination with chemo‐ or radiotherapy.IFN-γ increases the potential immunogenicity of vascular endothelial cells by up-regulation of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and class I MHC antigen expression and by induction of class II MHC antigens and certain chemokines.

Reconstitution |
We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Reconstitute in sterile distilled water or aqueous buffer containing 0.1 % BSA to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/ml. Stock solutions should be apportioned into working aliquots and stored at ≤ -20 °C. Further dilutions should be made in appropriate buffered solutions. |
Shipping and Storage
The products are shipped with ice pack and can be stored at -20 ℃ for 1 year.
1 month, 2 to 8 °C under sterile conditions after reconstitution.
3 months, -20 °C under sterile conditions after reconstitution.
Recommend to aliquot the protein into smaller quantities when first used and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
