Name :
Recombinant Human Interferon omega-1 Protein (hFc Tag)

Biological Activity :

Background :
IFNs are a large family of proteins having antiviral, antiproliferative, and immunomodulatory effects, and are divided into two major classes, type I and type II, based on differences in receptor binding and nucleotide sequence. Type I IFNs consist of IFN α, β, τ, and ω and bind to the type I IFN receptor, whereas IFN-γ is the only type II IFN and is specific for the type II IFN receptor. Human IFN-ω, was identified by three independent groups in 1985 and is structurally related to IFN-α and -β. Both human IFN-ω and IFN-α are produced by virally induced leukocytes and have similar antiviral activities on human cell lines, and a sizeable proportion (at least 1%) of the total antiviral activity of leukocyte IFN is contributed by IFN-ωl. Also, it was reported that IFN-ω could inhibit the growth of human tumors in vivo.

Biological Activity :
Measured in antiviral assays using WISH human amnion cells infected with vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV). The EC50 for this effect is 0.03-0.3 ng/mL.

Expression Host :
Human

Synonyms :
interferon, omega 1

Amino Acid Sequence :

Molecular Weight :
The recombinant human IFNω/Fc chimera is a disulfide-linked homodimer. The reduced monomer comprises 409 amino acids with a predicted molecular mass of 46.6 kDa. As a result of glycosylation, rh IFNω/Fc monomer migrates as an approximately 50 kDa band in SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions.

Purity :
> 92 % as determined by SDS-PAGE

State of Matter :

Product Concentration :

Storage and Stability :
Samples are stable for up to twelve months from date of receipt at -20℃ to -80℃. Store it under sterile conditions at -20℃ to -80℃. It is recommended that the protein be aliquoted for optimal storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

Endotoxin Level :
< 1.0 EU per μg of the protein as determined by the LAL method

Protein Construction :
A DNA sequence encoding the human IFNω (NP_002168.1) (Cys 24-Ser 195) was fused with the Fc region of human IgG1 at the N-terminus.

Buffer Solution :
Lyophilized from sterile PBS, pH 7.4.Please contact us for any concerns or special requirements. Normally 5 % – 8 % trehalose, mannitol and 0.01% Tween80 are added as protectants before lyophilization. Please refer to the specific buffer information in the hardcopy of datasheet.

Shipping :
In general, recombinant proteins are provided as lyophilized powder which are shipped at ambient temperature.Bulk packages of recombinant proteins are provided as frozen liquid. They are shipped out with blue ice unless customers require otherwise.

Redissolution :
A hardcopy of datasheet with reconstitution instructions is sent along with the products. Please refer to it for detailed information.
