| Three types of interferons have been described: interferon-alpha (IFN-alpha), interferon-beta (IFN-beta), and interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma). An extensive variety of biological effects have been observed for the interferon family including antiviral activity; anti-proliferative activity; stimulation of cytotoxic activities in lymphocytes, natural killer cells, and macrophages; and modulation of the major histocompatibility complex. Only one mouse-IFN-beta gene has yet been described. It codes for a 161 amino acid polypeptide (20kD). Mouse-IFN-beta binds to the type I interferon receptor. It is not recognized by antibodies directed against mouse | | | alpha interferon or mouse gamma interferon. | | | Catalog # | I7662-11B | | One unit of mouse beta interferon is the amount of beta interferon which protects 50% of the indicator cell population from viral destruction. One unit of Mouse Beta Interferon approximates the bioactivity contained in one unit of the mouse beta interferon standard prepared by NIH (Gb02-902-511). | | Source | Mouse, CHO-derived | | Recommended Dilution | For dilutions use a buffer containing 2% bovine serum albumin or culture medium. (Do not use fresh serum.) | | Storage and Stability | Lyophilized powder may be stored at-20°C. Stable for 12 months at -20°C. Reconstitute with 1ml distilled or de-ionized water.
