Description

Interferon alpha 2b Human, E. coli Recombinant Protein is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 166 amino acids and has a molecular mass of 19400 Dalton. The difference between IFNA2A and IFNA2B is in the amino acid present at position 23. IFN-alpha 2a has a lysine at that position 23 while IFN-alpha 2b has arginine.

The IFN-alpha 2b gene was obtained from human leukocytes. The IFN-a 2b protein is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Summary

IFN-alpha is produced by macrophages and has antiviral activities. IFN stimulates the production of two enzymes: protein kinase and an oligoadenylate synthetase.

Source

E. coli

Purity

Greater than 98.0%.

Biological Activity

The specific activity as determined in a viral resistance assay using bovine kidney MDBK cells was found to be 260,000,000 IU/ mg.

Formulation

Sterile-filtered white lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder. Lyophilized from a (1 mg/ml) solution in containing 2.3 mg Sodium phosphate dibasic and 0.55 mg sodium phosphate monobasic buffer.

Reconstitution

It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized IFN-alpha 2b in sterile 18MΩ-cm H2O not less than 100 µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.

Shipping

Shipped at ambient temperature. Upon receipt, store the product at the temperature recommended below.

Storage/Expiration

Lyophilized IFN-a 2b, although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution, IFN alpha 2b should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA). Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
