Description
Human interferons are grouped into three major classes: interferon-alpha (IFN-alpha), interferon-beta (IFN-beta), and interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma). An extensive variety of biological effects have been observed for the interferon family including antiviral activity, anti-proliferative activity; stimulation of cytotoxic activities in lymphocytes, natural killer cells and macrophages, and modulation of the major histocompatibility complex.
IFN-gamma is produced by only two cell types, T-cells and large granular lymphocytes.
IFN-gamma probably exists in its native form as a dimer of the two active species of 20 and 25 kD respectively.
Recombinant human IFN-gamma is purified from E.coli transfected with the human interferon gamma gene.
One unit of Hycult Biotech Human Gamma Interferon approximates the bioactivity contained in one unit of the human gamma interferon standard prepared by NIH (Gg23-901-530).
Formulation
Lyophilized product in PBS, 125 mM trehallose and 0.1% human serum albumin containing 1.0 x 105 Units.Reconstitute the vial by injection of 1 ml distilled or de-ionized water (Caution: vial is under vacuum).
Species
Human, E.coli-derived
Use
For dilutions use protein stabilized phosphate buffered saline, pH 7. (Do not use fresh serum).
Storage and stability
Lyophilized product should be stored at 4°C. Store stock solution after reconstitution in aliquots at -70°C. Repeated freeze and thaw cycles and prolonged exposure to light will cause loss of activity. Under recommended storage conditions, product is stable for one year.
