Biological Activity

Description

IFN-gamma Protein, Rat is a pro-inflammatory cytokine with potent immunomodulatory, anti-proliferative, and antiviral properties.

Background

Interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) is a cytokine with potent immunomodulatory, anti-proliferative, and antiviral properties. IFN-γ activates cells via a different receptor than IFN-α and IFN-β, which accounts for the different physiological properties of the proteins. Production of IFN-γ is largely restricted to activated CD4+ TH1 T cells, CD8+ T cells, and natural killer cells. One of the most important consequences of IFN-γ secretion is the activation of macrophages. In addition, IFN-γ plays a central role in inflammatory responses by activating endothelial cells, promoting TH1 cell development and cellular immune responses, and up-regulation of major histocompatability complex protein expression on antigen-presenting cells[1].

Verified Bioactivity

1.The ED50 is <0.5 ng/mL as measured by WEHI-279 cells, corresponding to a specific activity of >2 × 106 units/mg.
2.Measured by its binding ability in a functional ELISA. Immobilized rat IFN gamma at 10 μg/mL (100 μL/well) can bind biotinylated rat IFN gamma R1. The ED50 for this effect is 5-40 ng/mL.
