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 up regulating 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 intracellular human IFN-γ. The product is prepared by conjugation of carboxyfluorescein to Protein G purified IFN-γ monoclonal antibody.
Specificity
The conjugates will identify and quantitate cells containing intracellular forms of human IFN-γ by flow cytometry.
Immunogen
recombinant human IFN-γ
Application
Anti-interferon-γ antibody may be used for detection of intracellular IGN-γ in peripheral blood lymphocytes by adding 10 μL of the antibody to 1-5 X 105 cells.
Physical form
Solution in phosphate buffered saline containing 0.1% sodium azide.
Preparation Note
Purified antibody is conjugated to carboxyfluorescein.

Interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) coordinates a diverse array of cellular programs through transcriptional regulation of immunologically relevant genes. This article reviews the current understanding of IFN-gamma ligand, receptor, signal transduction, and cellular effects with a focus on macrophage responses and to a
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. Since the

The x-ray crystal structure of recombinant human interferon-gamma has been determined with the use of multiple-isomorphous-replacement techniques. Interferon-gamma, which is dimeric in solution, crystallizes with two dimers related by a noncrystallographic twofold axis in the asymmetric unit. The protein is
