Gene Information

human ... IFNB1(3456)

General description

Interferon-β (IFN-β) is a cytokine that belongs to type I interferons. The IFN-β gene is mapped on the human chromosome at 9p21.3.

Immunogen

a 17 amino acid peptide from near the center of human IFN-b.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Interferon-β (IFN-β) plays a major role in antibacterial and antiviral defense. It is also involved in apoptosis, cell growth, and autoimmune disorders. It binds to multimeric cell receptors and successful binding results in a cascade of intracellular events.

Linkage

The action of this antibody can be blocked using blocking peptide SBP4243.

Physical form

Solution in phosphate buffered saline containing 0.02% sodium azide

Type I IFNs are a cytokine family essential for antiviral defense. More recently, type I IFNs were shown to be important during bacterial infections. In this article, we show that, in addition to known cytokine functions, IFN-β is antimicrobial. Parts

Repetitive implant-related infections (IRIs) are devastating complications in orthopedic surgery, threatening implant survival and even the life of the host. Biofilms conceal bacterial-associated antigens (BAAs) and result in a "cold tumor"-like immune silent microenvironment, allowing the persistence of IRIs. To

Interferon IFN-beta is indicated for the treatment of multiple sclerosis. A significant proportion of patients show a poor clinical response to therapy. Type I interferon exerts its effect at least partially through interaction of specific transcription factors with interferon-stimulated response

Two recombinant IFN-beta products have been approved for the treatment of multiple sclerosis, a glycosylated form with the predicted natural amino acid sequence (IFN-beta-1a) and a non-glycosylated form that has a Met-1 deletion and a Cys-17 to Ser mutation (IFN-beta-1b).
