- Species: Human
- Source: E. coli
-
Storage:Stored at -20°C for 2 years from date of receipt. After reconstitution, it is stable at 4°C for 1 week or -20°C for longer (with carrier protein). It is recommended to freeze aliquots at -20°C or -80°C for extended storage.
Biological Activity
IFN-omega 1 Protein, Human has antiviral, anti-proliferation, and antitumor activities that are similar to those of IFN-α.
Interferon-omega (IFN-omega), a type I interferon, is a monomeric glycoprotein distantly related in structure to IFN-alpha and IFN-beta, but unrelated to IFN-gamma. The human type I interferon receptor complex, which mediates the biological activity of IFN-alpha and IFN-beta, also binds IFN-omega. IFN-omega is secreted by virus-infected leukocytes. Human IFN-ω binds to the α/β receptor but not to the interferon γ receptor[1]. IFN-omega has antiviral function on hepatitis B virus replication in human hepatoma cells[2]. IFN-ω also has been explored as a treatment option for some diseases or viral infections in humans and other animals[3].
The ED50 is <0.01086 ng/mL as measured by human TF-1 cells, corresponding to a specific activity of >9.2 × 107 units/mg.

2.Lyophilized from a 0.22 μm filtered solution of PBS, pH 7.4, 8% trehalose.
Please refer to the lot-specific COA for specific buffer information.
<1 EU/μg, determined by LAL method.
It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100 μg/mL in ddH2O. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% BSA, 5% HSA, 10% FBS or 5% Trehalose).
Stored at -20°C for 2 years from date of receipt. After reconstitution, it is stable at 4°C for 1 week or -20°C for longer (with carrier protein). It is recommended to freeze aliquots at -20°C or -80°C for extended storage.
Room temperature in continental US; may vary elsewhere.
