Catalog No. 50-136-83

Description

Description: The MD-1 antibody reacts with human, rhesus, cynomolgus and baboon interferon-gamma (IFN gamma), the signature Th1 cytokine, which is produced mainly by activated T cells, NK cells and B cells. IFN gamma is a dimeric protein. IFN gamma has antiviral and antiparasitic activities and also inhibits the proliferation of normal and transformed cells. Applications Reported: The MD-1 antibody has been reported for use in intracellular flow cytometric analysis, cytokine neutralization, immunohistochemical staining, ELISA, and ELISPOT. (Fluorochrome conjugated MD-1 is recommended for use in intracellular flow cytometry.) (Please use Functional Grade purified MD-1, Product # 16-7317, in functional assays). Applications Tested: The MD-1 antibody has been tested as the capture antibody in a sandwich ELISA for analysis of human interferon gamma (IFN gamma) in combination with the biotinylated 4S.B3 (Product # 13-7319-81) antibody for detection and recombinant human IFN gamma (39-8319) as the standard. A suitable range of concentrations of this antibody for ELISA capture is 1-4 μg/mL. A standard curve consisting of doubling dilutions of the recombinant standard over the range of 1000 pg/mL - 8 pg/mL should be included in each ELISA plate. The FG Purified format of the MD-1 antibody has been tested as the capture antibody in an ELISPOT assay (in conjunction with the biotinylated 4S.B3 antibody) and for neutralization of IFN gamma biological activity. A suitable range of c...

IFN gamma (Interferon gamma, Type II interferon) is a macrophage activation factor, and immune interferon that is produced primarily by T-lymphocytes and natural killer cells in response to antigens, mitogens, Staphylococcus enterotoxin B, phytohemaglutanin and other cytokines. IFN gamma is a dimeric protein consisting of two 146 amino acid subunits. IFN gamma is a glycoprotein that exists, functionally, as a homodimer of approximately 45 kDa. On SDS-PAGE, IFN gamma appears as a combination of 25, 20 and minor 15.5 kDa bands as a result of differential glycosylation. The biological activity of the IFN gamma homodimer is highly species specific. Human IFN gamma does not show cross-reactivity with mouse. IFN gamma function includes the following: antiviral activity, tumor antiproliferative activity, induction of class I and II MHC, macrophage activation, and enhanced immunoglobulin secretion by B lymphocytes. IFN gamma is involved in cytokine regulation and also acts synergistically with other cytokines. Activation of IFN gamma takes place through binding of IFN gamma receptor I and II, and activating the JAK-STAT pathway. IFN gamma does not show any homology with IFN alpha or IFN beta but human IFN gamma shows about 40% sequence homology with mouse IFN gamma. IFN gamma is upregulated by IL2, FGF basic, EGF and downregulated by vitamin D3 or DMN. IFN gamma gene mutations are associated with aplastic anemia.
