BackgroundInterferon-gamma (IFN-γ) or type II interferon is a dimerized soluble cytokine that is the only member of the type II class of interferons.1 It is a cytokine critical for innate and adaptive immunity against viral and intracellular bacterial infections and for tumor control. IFNG is produced predominantly by natural killer (NK) and natural killer T (NKT) cells as part of the innate immune response, and by CD4 and CD8 cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) effector T cells once antigen-specific immunity develops.2 IFN-γ has antiviral, immunoregulatory, and anti-tumour properties.3 Protein DetailsPurity >97% by SDS Page and analyzed by silver stain. Endotoxin Level <0.01 EU/µg as determined by the LAL method Biological Activity The biological activity of Rat IFN-Gamma was determined in an anti-viral assay using L-929 cells infected with EMC virus (Meager, A., 1987, Lymphokines and Interferons, a Practical Approach, M.J. Clemens, Morris, A.G. and Gearing, A.J.H., eds., IRL Press, p. 129). The expected ED50 for this effect is 1 - 3 ng/ml.
