Scientific Data Images for Human IFN-beta Antibody

IFN-beta  Inhibition of EMCV-induced Cytopathy and Neutralization by Human IFN-beta  Antibody.

IFN-beta Inhibition of EMCV-induced Cytopathy and Neutralization by Human IFN-beta Antibody.

Recombinant Human IFN-beta (8499-IF) reduces the Encephalomyocarditis Virus (EMCV)-induced cytopathy in the HeLa human cervical epithelial carcinoma cell line in a dose-dependent manner (orange line), as measured by crystal violet staining. Inhibition of EMCV activity elicited by Recombinant Human IFN-beta (50 pg/mL) is neutralized (green line) by increasing concentrations of Human IFN-beta Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB814). The ND50 is typically 1.50-18.0 µg/mL.

Detection of IFN-beta in M1 macrophages by Flow Cytometry.

M1 macrophages treated with 50 ng/mL each of rhGM-CSF (215-GM) for 6 days followed by an overnight polarization with IFNg and LPS (285-IF) and restimulated with monensin for 3 hours (3uM) were stained with Mouse Anti-Human CD14 PE-conjugated Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # FAB3832P) and either (A) Mouse Anti-Human IFN-beta Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB814) or (B) Mouse IgG1 Isotype Control (Catalog # MAB002) followed by Allophycocyanin-conjugated Anti-Mouse IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # F0101B).

Sample: Recombinant Human IFN-beta

Neutralization

Measured by its ability to neutralize IFN‑ beta inhibition of EMCV-induced cytopathy in the HeLa human cervical epithelial carcinoma cell line. Meager, A. (1987) in Lymphokines and Interferons, a Practical Approach. Clemens, M.J. et al. (eds): IRL Press. 129. The Neutralization Dose (ND50) is typically 1.50-18.0 µg/mL in the presence of 50 pg/mL Recombinant Human IFN‑ beta.
Please Note: Optimal dilutions of this antibody should be experimentally determined.

Background: IFN-beta

Interferon beta (IFN-beta) is synthesized and secreted by fibroblasts and many other cell types in response to pathogens. IFN-beta binding to type I interferon receptors induces the upregulation of IRF-7 and activation of Rnase L. IRF-7 can exert a positive feedback on IFN-beta production. RNase L cleaves both viral and cellular single stranded mRNA, thereby limiting viral replication and dissemination.
