Purity: >95% by SDS-PAGE and HPLC analyses.
Biological Activity: Fully biologically active when compared to standard. The ED50 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 × 106 IU/mg.
Physical Appearance: Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
Formulation: Lyophilized from a 0.2μm filtered solution in PBS, pH 7.4, containing 5% trehalose.
Endotoxin: Less than 1EU/μg of rMuIFN-γ as determined by LAL method.
Reconstitution: We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the
bottom. Reconstitute in sterile distilled water or aqueous buffer containing 0.1% BSA to a
concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL. Stock solutions should be apportioned into working aliquots and
stored at <-20°C. Further dilutions should be made in appropriate buffered solutions.
Storage: This lyophilized preparation is stable at 2-8°C, but should be kept at -20°C for long term storage,
preferably desiccated. Upon reconstitution, the preparation is stable for up to one week at 2-8°C. For
maximal stability, apportion the reconstituted preparation into working aliquots and store at -20°C to
-70°C. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
Usage: This material is offered by Shanghai Corning Bio-Tech for research, laboratory or further evaluation purposes. NOT FOR HUMAN USE.
Murine Interferon-gamma
Interferon-gamma (IFN-γ, also known as Type II interferon or immune interferon) is a cytokine produced primarily by T-
lymphocytes and natural killer cells. The protein shares no significant homology with IFN-β or the various IFN-α family proteins.
Mature IFN-γ exists as noncovalently-linked homodimers. Human IFN-γ is highly species specific and is biologically active only
in human and primate cells.IFN-γ 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-γ
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. IFN-γ also augments TH1 cell expansion and may be required for TH1 cell differentiation.
