Recombinant Human IFNA2 therapeutic protein

• Cat.No.: IFNA2-P008H
• Product Overview: Recombint Human Interferon, Alpha 2 therapeutic protein(human leukocyte clone hif-sn 206 protein moiety reduced). A type I interferon consisting of 165 amino acid residues with arginine in position 23. This protein is produced by recombinant DNA technology and resembles interferon secreted by leukocytes. It is used extensively as an antiviral or antineoplastic agent.

Specification

• Description: This gene is a member of the alpha interferon gene cluster on chromosome 9. The encoded protein is a cytokine produced in response to viral infection. Use of the recombinant form of this protein has been shown to be effective in reducing the symptoms and duration of the common cold. The expression product is the active ingredient of PEG-Intron, Unitron PEG, Roferon-A and Intron-A.
