Human IFN a 2a Protein
Recombinant of Human IFN a 2a protein
Product Specifications
Product Name Alternative
Leukocyte interferon, B cell interferon, Type I interferon, IFNA2, IFN-a 2a.
Source
Nicotiana Sp.Plant
Field of Research
Infectious Disease & Virology
Purity
Greater than 99.0% as determined by both: (a) Analysis by RP-HPLC. (b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE.
Bioactivity
The specific activity was determined by a quantitative gene report bioassay using human Type I interferon-sensitive cells. Compared with bacterial derived recombinant IFN-a 2a, assayed in the same conditions, plant derived IFN-alpha 2a showed 6.1 x 108 Units/mg in reference to a viral resistance assay using bovine kidney MDBK cells.
Form
Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
Solubility
It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Interferon-alpha 2a in sterile 18MΩ-cm H2O not less than 100μg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.
Storage Conditions
Stability: Lyophilized Interferon alpha 2a although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution IFN-alpha 2a should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C.For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA) .Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles
Notes
For research use only.
Applications Notes
Cytokines And Growth Factors
Preservative
Lyophilized, containing 50% SDS.
AA Sequence
The sequence of the first twelve N-terminal amino acids was determined and was found to be Cys-Asp-Leu-Pro-Gln-Thr-His-Ser-Leu-Gly-Ser-Arg
