Scientific Data Images for Human IFN-gamma Antibody

Detection of IFN- gamma antibody in Human PBMCs antibody by Flow Cytometry.

Detection of IFN- gamma in Human PBMCs by Flow Cytometry.

Human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) treated with 50 ng/mL PMA, 1 ug/mL Ionomycin, and 3 uM Monensin overnight were stained with either (A) Mouse Anti-Human IFN- gamma Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB2851) or (B) Mouse IgG2B Isotype Control (Catalog # MAB0041) followed by anti-Mouse IgG PE-conjugated secondary antibody (Catalog # F0102B) and Mouse Anti-Human CD3 epsilon APC-conjugated Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # FAB100A). To facilitate intracellular staining, cells were fixed and permeabilized with FlowX FoxP3 Fixation & Permeabilization Buffer Kit (Catalog # FC012).

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

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

Recombinant Human IFN-gamma (Catalog # 285-IF) reduces the Encephalomyocarditis Virus (EMCV)-induced cytopathy in the HeLa human cervical epithelial carcinoma cell line in a dose-dependent manner (orange line). Inhibition of EMCV activity elicited by Recombinant Human IFN-gamma (5 ng/mL) is neutralized (green line) by increasing concen-trations of Mouse Anti-Human IFN-gamma Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB2851). The ND50 is typically 0.2-0.6 µg/mL.

Applications for Human IFN-gamma Antibody

0.25 µg/106 cells
Sample: Human peripheral blood mononuclear cells treated with PMA, Ionomycin, and Monensin fixed and permeabilized with FlowX FoxP3 Fixation & Permeabilization Buffer Kit (Catalog # FC012)

Neutralization

Measured by its ability to neutralize IFN‑ gamma 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 0.2-0.6 µg/mL in the presence of 5 ng/mL Recombinant Human IFN‑ gamma.
Please Note: Optimal dilutions of this antibody should be experimentally determined.

Background: IFN-gamma

Interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma), also known as type II or immune interferon, exerts a wide range of immunoregulatory activities and is considered to be the prototype proinflammatory cytokine (1, 2). Mature human IFN-gamma exists as a non-covalently linked homodimer of 20-25 kDa variably glycosylated subunits (3). It shares 90% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with rhesus IFN-gamma, 59-64% with bovine, canine, equine, feline, and porcine IFN‑ gamma, and 37-43% with cotton rat, mouse, and rat IFN-gamma. IFN-gamma dimers bind to IFN-gamma RI (alpha subunits) which then interact with IFN-gamma RII (beta subunits) to form the functional receptor complex of two alpha and two beta subunits. Inclusion of IFN-gamma RII increases the binding affinity for ligand and the efficiency of signal transduction (4, 5). IFN-gamma is produced by a variety of immune cells under inflammatory conditions, notably by T cells and NK cells (6). It plays a key role in host defense by promoting the development and activation of Th1 cells, chemoattraction and activation of monocytes and macrophages, upregulation of antigen presentation molecules, and immunoglobulin class switching in B cells. It also exhibits antiviral, antiproliferative, and apoptotic effects (6, 7). In addition, IFN-gamma functions as an anti-inflammatory mediator by promoting the development of regulatory T cells and inhibiting Th17 cell differentiation (8, 9). The pleiotropic effects of IFN-gamma contribute to the development of multiple aspects of atherosclerosis (7).
