Overview
Interferon gamma Antibody is a research-use primary antibody intended for detection of INTERFERON in experimental workflows. It is supplied in Biotin Conjugate format. Key antibody attributes include Mouse, Monoclonal (mouse origin), clone IFNG/466, isotype Mouse IgG2b, kappa. Applications listed for this product include IHC-P. Reported/annotated localization context: Cytoplasm, cell surface. Species reactivity (as provided): Human.
Key elements and design rationale
- Target: INTERFERON (Interferon gamma) — selectivity and interpretation should be considered in the context of isoforms, post-translational modifications, and related family members when applicable.
- Format: Biotin Conjugate — format can influence background, multiplexing compatibility, and downstream detection strategies.
- Antibody identity: Mouse, Monoclonal (mouse origin), clone IFNG/466, isotype Mouse IgG2b, kappa — these attributes help align secondary reagents and controls (e.g., isotype-matched controls) with your assay design.
- Localization: Cytoplasm, cell surface — expected subcellular distribution can guide band/structure interpretation and help flag off-target signal.
- Product notes (from provided description): Recognizes a protein of 20-25kDa, identified as human interferon. This MAb is specific to human IFNg and recognizes both recombinant and native human IFN-gamma. T lymphocytes and NK cells mainly produce IFNg. It is a pleiotropic cytokine involved in the regulation of nearly all phases of immune and inflammatory responses, including the activation, growth and differentiation of T cell, B cells, macrophages, NK cells and other cell types such as endothelial cells and fibroblasts. It has weak anti-viral and anti-proliferative activity, and potentiates the antiviral and anti-tumor effects of IFN-a/b (type I interferon).
Where multiple assay formats are possible, align the antibody format, host/isotype, and listed applications with your detection system and controls to support clear interpretation of signal.
Biological background
In this catalog, INTERFERON is positioned within Immunology & Inflammation, Tumor research contexts. Localization annotations (e.g., Cytoplasm, cell surface) can help contextualize expected signal patterns in imaging and fractionation-based readouts. For authoritative gene/protein nomenclature, domains/isoforms, and curated functional annotations, consult resources such as UniProt, NCBI Gene, and Ensembl.
Research relevance and current trends
- Higher-plex and spatially resolved readouts (e.g., multiplex IF/IHC, spatial omics) are increasing demand for well-characterized primary antibodies with clearly stated host/isotype and labeling strategies.
- Genetic perturbation controls (knockout/knockdown) and orthogonal measurements (e.g., RNA vs protein) are commonly used to strengthen target attribution when interpreting antibody-derived signals.
- Reproducibility initiatives emphasize transparent reporting of antibody identity (clone, host, isotype) and experimental context to improve cross-study comparability.
Common research applications
- IHC-P: interpret changes in signal in the context of sample composition, epitope accessibility, and potential isoform/PTM differences across conditions.
- Typical workflow themes: IHC on FFPE tissue, ELISA binding assay, Specificity controls.
- Workflow notes: Detect INTERFERONGAMMA by IHC in FFPE tissue sections (optimize antigen retrieval + dilution), Measure binding to INTERFERONGAMMA peptide/protein by ELISA with dilution series (include blanks), Confirm specificity usi…
When comparing conditions, consistent sample processing and appropriate negative/positive controls support interpretation of qualitative localization differences and quantitative abundance changes.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Isoforms and post-translational modifications may shift apparent molecular weight or epitope accessibility, especially across cell states or treatments.
- Species and tissue context can affect sequence conservation, expression level, and background binding; predicted reactivity should be verified in your sample.
- Control concepts include isotype-matched controls, secondary-only controls (for indirect detection), and genetic/orthogonal controls (e.g., KO/KD, independent antibodies, or RNA measurements) when feasible.
Monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies can differ in epitope recognition breadth and lot-to-lot characteristics; consider clonality and clone information (when provided) alongside your assay requirements. Conjugated formats may simplify detection but can change background and multiplexing behavior compared with unconjugated primaries.
Customization & Add-ons: Can’t find the antibody you need—or require a custom format for your assay? We can help you source the best match or support custom antibody solutions for diverse research needs, including species and isotype selection, conjugations and labeling (e.g., HRP/AP, biotin, fluorophores), purification grade options (Protein A/G, affinity purified), formulation preferences (buffer selection, carrier-free, glycerol-free), custom concentrations and aliquoting, low-endotoxin options for cell-based work, and application-focused QC/validation support (project dependent).
