Species ReactivityHuman
ReconstitutionIt is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized IFN-alpha 2b in sterile water not less than 100µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.
Stability and StorageLyophilized IFN 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).
SynonymsIFN alpha 2b, IFNA, INFA2, MGC125764, MGC125765.
DescriptionIFN-alpha is produced by macrophages and has antiviral activities. IFN stimulates the production of two enzymes: protein kinase and an oligoadenylate synthetase. IFN-a 2b Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 166 amino acids and having 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.
