Product name | Human IFN-γ protein |
Sequence | Amino acid sequence derived from human IFN-γ (NP_000610.2) (Met 1-Gln 166) was expressed and purified. |
Activity | Measured in antiviral assays using WISH human amnion cells infected with vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV). The EC50 for this effect is typically 0.1-0.5 ng/mL. . The EC50 for this effect is typically 0.1-0.5 ng/mL. |
Protein length | The secreted recombinant human IFN-γ consists of 143 amino acids and has a predicted molecular mass of 16.7 kDa. γ-IFN migrates as two bands with apparent molecular mass of 21&25 kDa probably due to different glycosylation. |
Preparation method | CHO Stable Cells |
Purity | > 92 % as determined by SDS-PAGE |
Alternative | IFG; IFI; IFN gamma; Interferon Gamma; Interferon gamma; IFNG |
Formulation | Lyophilized from sterile PBS, pH 7.4 |
Molecular weight | 16.7 kDa |
Usage notes | Always centrifuge tubes before opening. It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Human IFN-gamma protein in sterile ddH2O not less than 100µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions. |
Storage instructions | Lyophilized Human IFN-γ proteinshould be stored desiccated below -20°C. Upon reconstitution, the protein should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -20°C. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.66% HSA or BSA). Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |

Background | IFN-γ, also known as IFNG, is a secreted protein which belongs to the type I I interferon family. IFN-γ is produced predominantly by natural killer and natural killer T cells as part of the innate immune response, and by CD4 and CD8 cytotoxic T lymphocyte effector T cells once antigen-specific immunity develops. IFN-γ has antiviral, immunoregulatory, and anti-tumor properties. IFNG, in addition to having antiviral activity, has important immunoregulatory functions, it is a potent activator of macrophages, and has antiproliferative effects on transformed cells and it can potentiate the antiviral and antitumor effects of the type I interferons. The IFNG monomer consists of a core of six α-helices and an extended unfolded sequence in the C-terminal region. IFN-γ is critical for innate and adaptive immunity against viral and intracellular bacterial infections and for tumor control. Aberrant IFN-γ expression is associated with a number of autoinflammatory and autoimmune diseases. The importance of IFN-γ in the immune system stems in part from its ability to inhibit viral replication directly, and most importantly from its immunostimulatory and immunomodulatory effects. IFNG also promotes NK cell activity. |
