Recognizes a protein of 20-25kDa, identified as human interferon. This mAb is specific to human IFN- and recognizes both recombinant and native human IFN-gamma;. It does not neutralize the activity of IFN-. T lymphocytes and NK cells mainly produce IFN-. It is a pleiotropic cytokine involved in the regulation of nearly all phases of immune and inflammatory responses, including the activation, growth and differentiation of T cell, B cells, macrophages, NK cells and other cell types such as endothelial cells and fibroblasts. It has weak anti-viral and anti-proliferative activity, and potentiates the antiviral and anti-tumor effects of IFN- (type I interferon).

Store the Interferon gamma antibody at 2-8°C (with azide) or aliquot and store at -20°C or colder (without azide).
