IFN-alpha 1
IFN-alpha 1 (IFNA1; IFN-α1), belongs to the alpha/beta interferon family, is produced by macrophages with antiviral activities[1]. Interferon (IFN) is originally identified as a substance ‘interfering’ with viral replication in vitro. IFN-α/β and related molecules are classified as type I IFNs, as for the other two types of type II IFN (IFN-γ) and type III IFNs (IFN-λ), respectively[2].
IFNs binds to one of three type-specific receptors, which leads to the activation of JAK1 and TYK2[3]. This signal transduction results in phosphorylation of STAT1 and STAT2 and eventually in an association with IFN regulatory factor 9 (IRF9) and formation of the IFN-stimulated gene factor 3 (ISGF3) complex. Thus the ISGF3 complex induces transcription of IFN-stimulated genes (ISGs), with subsequent immunomodulatory effects on both innate and adaptive immune responses[4]. The interactions of type I IFN with the immune system is important for the generation of a durable antitumor response through its effects on dendritic cells (DC)[5].

The EpCAM/TROP1 protein serves as an important homogeneous interacting molecule that promotes direct contact between intestinal epithelial cells (IEC) and intraepithelial lymphocytes (IEL) in the mucosal epithelium. This feature helps establish an immune barrier against mucosal infections. EpCAM/TROP1 Protein, Human (His-SUMO) is the recombinant human-derived EpCAM/TROP1 protein, expressed by E. coli , with N-6*His, N-SUMO labeled tag.
