Synonyms
Immune IFN, type II IFN, T cell IFN, MAF, IFNG, IFG, IFI, IFN-gamma.
Introduction
IFN-gamma produced by lymphocytes activated by specific antigens or mitogens.
IFN-gamma, in addition to having antiviral activity, has important immunoregulatory functions, it is a potent activator of macrophages, and has antiproliferative effects on transformed cells and it can potentiate the antiviral and antitumor effects of the type I IFNs.
Description
IFN-gamma Mouse Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 134 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 15.6kDa.
The IFN-gamma is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Formulation
Solubility
It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized IFN-gamma in sterile distilled water or 20mM AcOH at concentrations ranging between 0.1mg-0.5mg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.
Stability
Lyophilized IFN-gamma although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution IFN-gamma 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.
