IFN-β protein is a type I interferon that plays a key role in the innate immune response by binding to IFNAR2 and IFNAR1 receptors and activating Jak-STAT signaling. This results in transcriptional regulation of interferon-regulated genes, affecting antiviral proteins, cell proliferation regulators, and immunomodulatory proteins. IFN-beta Protein, Mouse (HEK293, Fc) is the recombinant mouse-derived IFN-beta protein, expressed by HEK293 , with C-hFc labeled tag.

Description

IFN-β protein is a type I interferon that plays a key role in the innate immune response by binding to IFNAR2 and IFNAR1 receptors and activating Jak-STAT signaling. This results in transcriptional regulation of interferon-regulated genes, affecting antiviral proteins, cell proliferation regulators, and immunomodulatory proteins. IFN-beta Protein, Mouse (HEK293, Fc) is the recombinant mouse-derived IFN-beta protein, expressed by HEK293 , with C-hFc labeled tag.

Background

IFN-beta Protein, a type I interferon cytokine, assumes a pivotal role in the innate immune response to infections, tumors, and various inflammatory stimuli. Its signaling involves binding to the high-affinity receptor IFNAR2 and the low-affinity receptor IFNAR1, forming a heterodimeric complex and activating the canonical Jak-STAT signaling pathway. This activation results in the transcriptional modulation of interferon-regulated genes, encompassing antiviral proteins, regulators of cell proliferation and differentiation, and immunoregulatory proteins. While predominantly signaling through the IFNAR1-IFNAR2 heterodimeric receptor, IFN-beta can also function with IFNAR1 alone, operating independently of Jak-STAT pathways. IFN-beta elicits diverse responses, including antiviral and antibacterial activities, and influences B-cell development, myelopoiesis, and lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-inducible production of tumor necrosis factor. Beyond its immune functions, IFN-beta plays a crucial role in neuronal homeostasis by regulating dopamine turnover and protecting dopaminergic neurons, promoting neuronal autophagy, and facilitating alpha-synuclein clearance, thereby preventing dopaminergic neuron loss. Notably, IFN-beta demonstrates greater potency than interferon-alpha (IFN-alpha) in inducing apoptotic and antiproliferative pathways crucial for controlling tumor cell growth. It functions as a monomer in these regulatory processes.

Biological Activity

1. Measured in antiviral assay using L929 cells infected with vesicular stomatitisvirus (VSV) and the ED50 is typically 8 pg/mL.
2. Measured by its binding ability in a functional ELISA. Immobilized Recombinant Mouse IFNAR2 at 2 μg/mL (100 μL/well) can bind Biotinylated Recombinant Mouse IFNB1. The ED50 for this effect is 3.885 ng/mL.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.

The reconstitution calculator equation

Volume (to add to vial) = Mass (in vial) ÷ Desired Reconstitution Concentration

Volume (to add to vial) = Mass (in vial) ÷ Desired Reconstitution Concentration
= ÷

The dilution calculator equation

Concentration (start) × Volume (start) = Concentration (final) × Volume (final)

This equation is commonly abbreviated as: C1V1 = C2V2

Concentration (start) × Volume (start) = Concentration (final) × Volume (final)
× = ×

The specific activity calculator equation

Specific Activity (Unit/mg) = 106 ÷ Biological Activity (ED50)

Specific Activity (Unit/mg) = 106 ÷ Biological Activity (ED50)
Unit/mg = 106 ÷ ng/mL
