Technical datasheet
Description
The antibody reacts with human gamma IFN (IFN-gamma) of both natural and recombinant origin. IFN-gamma is a pluripotent cytokine with important pro-inflammatory functions. The antibody inhibits the biological activity of natural and recombinant human IFN-gamma. The antigen specificity was further assessed by ELISA and Western blot. No cross reactivities with other cytokines have been detected.
Formulation
1 ml (100 µg/ml) 0.2 µm filtered antibody solution in PBS, containing 0.02% sodium azide and 0.1% bovine serum albumin.
Species
Rabbit IgG
Application
The antibody is useful for neutralization of human IFN-gamma in bio-assays. Furthermore the antibodies can be used for Western blotting, immuno assays and to stain cells containing IFN-gamma in frozen sections as well as in cells cultured on cover slips.
Use
For immunohistology and Western blotting dilutions to be used depend on detection system applied. It is recommended that users test the reagent and determine their own optimal dilutions. The typical starting working dilution is 1:10. For neutralization of biological activity in vitro dilutions have to be made according to the amount of IFN-gamma to be inactivated. Before use in biological assays, the product must be filter sterilized and depending on the concentration to be used dialyzed against culture medium to remove the sodium azide added. Please inquire for availability of azide free solutions.
