Scientific Data Images for Mouse Limitin/IFN- zeta Antibody
Limitin Inhibition of EMCV-induced Cytopathy and Neutralization by Mouse Limitin Antibody.
Recombinant Mouse Limitin (1535-LM) reduces the Encephalomyocarditis Virus (EMCV)-induced cytopathy in the L-929 mouse fibroblast cell line in a dose-dependent manner (orange line), as measured by Resazurin (AR002). Inhibition of EMCV activity elicited by Recombinant Mouse Limitin (30 pg/mL) is neutralized (green line) by increasing concentrations of Goat Anti-Mouse Limitin Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF597). The ND50 is typically 1.5-7.5 ng/mL.
Detection of Limitin/IFN- zeta in Mouse Thymus.
Limitin/IFN- zeta was detected in immersion fixed paraffin-embedded sections of mouse thymus using Goat Anti-Mouse Limitin/IFN- zeta Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF597) at 1 µg/ml for 1 hour at room temperature followed by incubation with the Anti-Goat IgG VisUCyte™ HRP Polymer Antibody (Catalog # VC004) or the HRP-conjugated Anti-Goat IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF109). Before incubation with the primary antibody, tissue was subjected to heat-induced epitope retrieval using VisUCyte Antigen Retrieval Reagent-Basic (Catalog # VCTS021). Tissue was stained using DAB (brown) and counterstained with hematoxylin (blue). Specific staining was localized to the membrane of lymphocytes.

Neutralization
Measured by its ability to neutralize Limitin inhibition of EMCV-induced cytopathy in the L-929 mouse fibroblast cell line. Vogel, S. and M. Hogan (1995) in Current Protocols in Immunology. Ciocio, R. (ed); John Wiley & Sons, Inc. p. 6. 9. 1. The Neutralization Dose (ND50) is typically 1.5-7.5 ng/mL in the presence of 30 pg/mL Recombinant Mouse Limitin.
Please Note: Optimal dilutions of this antibody should be experimentally determined.

Background: Limitin/IFN-zeta
Limitin, also known as IFN-zeta, is a 20 kDa glycoprotein that is secreted by T cells and bronchial and salivary duct epithelial cells. It inhibits B-lineage cell development but has little effect on myelopoiesis or erythropoiesis. Limitin binds to IFN-alpha / beta receptors and has potent antiviral activity. Mouse Limitin shares 32%, 26%, and 30% amino acid sequence identity with mouse IFN-alpha, mouse IFN-beta, and human IFN-omega, respectively.
