This lyophilized preparation is stable for 12 months from date of receipt at -20 to -70 degrees C, preferably desiccated. Upon reconstitution, the preparation can be stored for 1 month at 2-8 degrees C under sterile conditions, and for 3 months at -20 degrees C to -70 degrees C. Use a manual defrost freezer and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Stock solutions should be aliquoted and stored at < -20 degrees C. Further dilutions should be made in appropriate buffered solutions

Purity

> 97 % pure by SDS-PAGE and HPLC

Endotoxin Level

Less than 0.1 EU/ug of IFN-gamma as determined by LAL method.

Predicted Molecular Mass

16.7 kDa.
Disclaimer note: The observed molecular weight of the protein may vary from the listed predicted molecular weight due to post translational modifications, post translation cleavages, relative charges, and other experimental factors.

Activity

Fully biologically active when compared to standard. The ED50 as determined by an anti-viral assay using human HeLa cells infected with encephalomyocarditis (EMC) virus is less than 10.0 ng/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of > 1.0 x 10^5 IU/mg.

Background: IFN-gamma

Interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma), also known as Type II interferon or immune interferon, is a cytokine produced primarily by Tlymphocytesand natural killer cells. The protein shares no significant homology with IFN-beta or the various IFN-alpha family proteins. Mature IFN-gamma exists as noncovalently-linked homodimers. IFN-gamma was originally characterized based on its antiviral activities. The protein also exerts antiproliferative, immunoregulatory and proinflammatory activities and is thus important in host defense mechanisms. IFN-gamma induces the production of cytokines, upregulates the expression of class I and II MHC antigens, Fc receptor and leukocyte adhesion molecules. It modulates macrophage effector functions, influences isotype switching and potentiates the secretion of immunoglobulins by B cells. Additionally, IFN-gamma augments TH1 cell expansion and may be required for TH1 cell differentiation. Equine IFN-gamma shares 73 %~82 % amino acid sequence identity with bovine, canine, feline, and porcine IFN-gamma and 42 %~64 % with cotton rat, human,murine, rat, and rhesus macaque IFN-gamma.
