Product Overview
Tag | His |
Host Species | Human |
Synonym | Leukocyte interferon, B cell interferon, Type I interferon, IFNA2, IFN-a 2a. |
Background | IFN-alpha is expressed by macrophages and has antiviral activities. Interferon stimulates the production of two 56: protein kinase and an oligoadenylate synthetase. |
Description | Interferon Alpha Human 2a Recombinant expressed in Plant is a single, glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 165a.a. and having a molecular weight of 19 kDa.The Interferon-a 2a contains affinity 6xHis tag on C-terminus.The IFN-A 2a is purified by unique purification methods. |
Source | Plant |
AA Sequence | The sequence of the first twelve N-terminalaa was determined and was found to be Cys-Asp-Leu-Pro-Gln-Thr-His-Ser-Leu-Gly-Ser-Arg. |
Purity | >99.0% as determined by both:(a) Analysis by RP-HPLC.(b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE. |
Endotoxin | <1.0 EU per μg by the LAL method. |
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 |
Formulation | Lyophilized, containing 50% SDS. |
Stability | Recombinant protein is stable for 12 months at -70°C |
Usage | For Research Use Only |
Storage | 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. |
