Scientific Background
Interferon gamma (IFN-γ), also known as Type II interferon,is a cytokine produced primarily by T-lymphocytes and natural killer cells. The active form of IFN-γ is an antiparallel dimer that interacts with the receptor IFN-γR1 and activates the IFN-γ/JAK/STAT pathway. IFN-γ signaling promotesbiological functions primarily related to antiviral and antibacterial defense, apoptosis, inflammation, and regulation of innate and acquired immune responses.

Safety & Handling
This material is offered by USA Bioworld biotech for research, laboratory or further evaluation purposes. For research use only.
This protein was produced in E. coli expression system. Expression system selection determines glycosylation profile, folding, and post-translational modifications. For cell-based stimulation assays, verify the expression system matches the glycosylation requirements of your target receptor or pathway.
Reconstituted in ddH2O or PBS at 100 μg/ml. Reconstitute in sterile distilled water or PBS at 100 µg/mL as a standard starting concentration. Allow to dissolve at 4°C for 30 minutes without vortexing. Prepare working aliquots in 0.1% BSA carrier protein and store at −80°C.
This protein has been validated for functional bioactivity: ED50 <0.5 ng/ml, measured by cytotoxicity assay using WEHI-279 cells, corresponding to a specific activity of >2×10ˆ6 units/mg.. Optimal working concentrations may vary depending on your cell type, assay format, and culture conditions. Titrate the protein in a dose-response experiment to determine the optimal concentration for your system.
Endotoxin level is < 0.2 EU/μg, determined by LAL method. as determined by the LAL method. Low endotoxin is critical for cell-based studies because endotoxin activates NF-κB and TLR4 signalling in immune cells, producing artefactual cytokine induction that can completely mask the true biological activity of the recombinant protein.
Lyophilized recombinant Rat IFN-γ remains stable up to 6 months at -80°C from date of receipt. Upon reconstitution, recombinant Rat IFN-γ should be stable up to 1 week at 4°C or up to 2 months at -20° Upon receipt, immediately store at −80°C. Prepare single-use working aliquots to avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Lyophilized protein is stable for 6–12 months at −80°C from the date of receipt.
