Active Recombinant Rat Ifng Protein (135 aa)

• Cat.No.: Ifng-009I
• Product Overview: Recombinant Rat Ifng Protein without tag was expressed in E. coli.

Specification

• Species: Rat
• Source: E.coli
• Protein Length: 135
• Description: Interferon-gamma (IFN-γ, also known as Type II interferon or immune interferon) is a cytokine produced primarily by T-lymphocytes and natural killer cells. The protein shares no significant homology with IFN-β or the various IFN-α family proteins. Mature IFN-γ exists as noncovalently-linked homodimers. Human IFN-γ is highly species specific and is biologically active only in human and primate cells. IFN-γ was originally characterized based on its antiviral activities. The protein also exerts antiproliferative, immunoregulatory and proinflammatory activities and is thus important in host defense mechanisms. IFN-γ induces the production of cytokines, upregulates the expression of class I and II MHC antigens, Fc receptor and leukocyte adhesion molecules. It modulates macrophage effector functions, influences isotype switching and potentiates the secretion of immunoglobulins by B cells. IFN-γ also augments TH1 cell expansion and may be required for TH1 cell differentiation.
• Form: Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
• Bio-activity: Measured in an antiviral assay using L929 mouse fibrosarcoma cells infected with encephalomyocarditis (EMC) virus. The ED50 for this effect is typically 1-3 ng/mL, corresponding to a Specific Activity of ＞3.3 × 10^5 IU/mg.
• Molecular Mass: Approximately 15.6 kDa, a single non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 135 amino acids.

• Endotoxin: Less than 1 EU/mg of rRaIFN-γ as determined by LAL method.
• Purity: >95% by SDS-PAGE and HPLC analyses.
• Storage: This lyophilized preparation is stable at 2-8 centigrade, but should be kept at -20 centigrade for long term storage, preferably desiccated. Upon reconstitution, the preparation is stable for up to one week at 2-8 centigrade. For maximal stability, apportion the reconstituted preparation into working aliquots and store at -20 to -70 centigrade. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
• Storage Buffer: Lyophilized from a 0.2mm filtered concentrated solution in PBS, pH 7.4.
• Reconstitution: We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Reconstitute in sterile distilled water or aqueous buffer containing 0.1% BSA to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL. Stock solutions should be apportioned into working aliquots and stored at < -20 centigrade. Further dilutions should be made in appropriate buffered solutions.
