Recombinant Human IFNA2

• Cat.No.: IFNA2-29497TH
• Product Overview: Recombinant full length Interferon alpha 2a protein , containing 165 amino acids and a MW of 19 kDa.

Specification

• Species: Human
• Source: E.coli
• Tag: Non
• Description: This gene is a member of the alpha interferon gene cluster on chromosome 9. The encoded protein is a cytokine produced in response to viral infection. Use of the recombinant form of this protein has been shown to be effective in reducing the symptoms and duration of the common cold.
• Biological activity: Specific Activity is 2.7 x 10⁸ IU/mg.
• Form: Lyophilised:Reconstitute in sterile 18MOhm/cm water to not less than 100μg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.
• Purity: >95% by SDS-PAGE
• Storage buffer: Preservative: NoneConstituents: Sodium chloride, 0.77mg/ml Ammonium Acetate.
• Storage: Shipped at 4°C. Upon delivery aliquot and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze / thaw cycles.
• Sequences of amino acids: The sequence of the first five N-terminal amino acids was determined and was found to be Cys-Asp-Leu-Pro-Gln, conforming to the sequence of native human IFN-a.N-terminal methionine has been completely removed enzymatically.
• Sequence Similarities: Belongs to the alpha/beta interferon family.
• Full Length: Full L.
