Interferon-γ is a effective multifunctional cytokine which is released mainly by activated NK cells and T cells. IFN-γ is primarily characterized based on its anti-viral activities, and then been proved to have several functions such as anti-proliferative, immune-regulatory, and pro-inflammatory activities. IFN-γ can upregulate expression of MHC class I and II antigen by antigen-presenting cells.

Source:
Escherichia coli
Endotoxin Test:
<0.01 EU per 1 μg of the protein by the LAL method.
Activity:
Measure by its ability to protect PK15 cells infected with encephalomyocarditis (EMC) virus. The ED50 for this effect is <40 pg/mL.
Purity:
>95% as determined by SDS-PAGE. Ni-NTA chromatography
Formulation:
The protein was lyophilized from a solution containing 1X PBS, pH 7.4.
Reconstitution:
It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized protein in sterile H2O to a concentration not less than 100 μg/mL and incubate the stock solution for at least 20 min to ensure sufficient re-dissolved.
Storage:
Lyophilized protein should be stored at -20°C. Upon reconstitution, protein aliquots should be stored at -20°C or -80°C.
Note:
Please use within one month after protein reconstitution.
