General description

Interferons (IFNs) are cytokines that are secreted in response to viral or bacterial infections and tumorigenesis. There are two types of IFNs, type I (IFN-α and IFN-β) and type II (IFN-γ). IFN-γ binds to specific receptor complex consisting of IFNγR1 and IFNγR2. There are many pathways that are mediated by IFN-γ binding such as JAK/STAT1, AP-1, NF-κB, STAT3 and STAT5. IFN-γ is pleotropic and performs various functions related to immune response, inflammation, differentiation and activation of T cells, cell cycle and apoptosis. The most studied function of IFN-γ is priming the antigen presenting cells by upregulating major histocompatibility (MHC) Class I molecules. IFN-γ has clinical applications in autoimmune diseases (rheumatoid arthritis), multiple sclerosis, cancer, HIV and fungal infections
Anti-Interferon-γ recognizes human Interferon-γ. It does not bind specifically to mouse, hamster or bovine IFN-γ.

Specificity

The antibody shows no cross-reactivity with recombinant mouse IFN-γ.

Immunogen

recombinant human IFN-γ.

Application

Anti-interferon-γ antibody may be used for immunoblotting at a working concentration of 1-2 μg/ml. The antibody is suitable for neutralization reactions.

Physical form

Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution in phosphate buffered saline containing carbohydrates.

Interferons are cytokines that have antiviral, antiproliferative and immunomodulatory effects. Because of these important properties, in the past two decades, major research efforts have been undertaken to understand the signalling mechanisms through which these cytokines induce their effects.
