Description : |
IFN-gamma produced by lymphocytes activated by specific antigens or mitogens. IFN-gamma, 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. |
Amino Acid Sequence : |
The sequence of the first five N-terminal amino acids was determined and was found to be Ser-Tyr-Cys-Gln-Ala. |
Physical Appearance : |
Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder. |
Purity : |
Greater than 95.0% as determined by: (a) Analysis by RP-HPLC. (b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE. |
Formulation : |
The protein was lyophilized with no additives. |
Solubility : |
It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Interferon-gamma in sterile 18MΩ-cm H2O not less than 100µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions. |
Biological Activity : |
The ED50as determined by theamount of interferon that inhibited 50% of the cytopathic effect of vesicular stomatitis virus in MDBK cells was < 0.3 ng/ml. |
Protein Content : |
Protein quantitation was carried out by two independent methods: 1.UV spectroscopy at 280 nm using the absorbency value of 0.556 as the extinction coefficient for a 0.1% (1mg/ml) solution. This value is calculated by the PC GENE computer analysis program of protein sequences (IntelliGenetics). 2. Analysis by RP-HPLC, using a calibrated solution of IFN as a Reference Standard. |
Storage : |
Lyophilized Interferon-g although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18℃. Upon reconstitution IFN gamma should be stored at 4℃ between 2-7 days and for future use below -18℃. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA). Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |
