This lyophilized preparation is stable at 2-8 degrees C, but should be kept at -20 degrees C for long term storage, preferably desiccated. Upon reconstitution, the preparation is most stable at -20 to -80 degrees C, and can be stored for one week at 2-8 degrees C. For maximal stability, apportion the reconstituted preparation into working aliquots and store at -20 degrees C to -80 degrees C. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.

Purity

>95%, by SDS-PAGE and HPLC

Endotoxin Level

Less than 1 EU/ug of IFN-gamma as determined by LAL method.

Predicted Molecular Mass

15.5 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

Interferon gamma Protein is fully biologically active when compared to standard. The ED50 as determined by an anti-viral assay using murine L929 cells infected with encephalomyocarditis (EMC) virus is less than 0.8 ng/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of > 1.3 x 10^6 IU/mg.

Background: IFN-gamma

Interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma), also known as Type II interferon or immune interferon, is a cytokine produced primarily by Tlymphocytes and 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. It shares high sequence indentity with rat IFN-gamma (86 %). 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.
