RecombinantIFN-α2b, Human
Interferon-Alpha 2b (IFN-Alpha 2b) produced by leukocytes is a member of Interferon family. IFN-alpha is mainly involved in innate immune response against a broad range of viral infections. IFN-alpha 2 has three acid stable forms (a, b, c) signaling through IFNAR2. IFN-alpha 2b shares 99.4% aa sequence identity with both IFN-alpha 2a and 2c. IFN-alpha contains four highly conserved cysteine residues which form two disulfide bonds, one of which is necessary for biological activity.Recombinant human Interferon-Alpha 2b (rhIFN-Alpha 2b) produced in E.coli is a single non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 165 amino acids. A fully biologically active molecule, rhIFN-Alpha 2b has a molecular mass of 19.2kDa analyzed by reducing SDS-PAGE and is obtained by proprietary chromatographic techniques at GenScript.
