Background: Interferon alpha-1/13(IFN-alpha-1/13 for short), also known as Interferon alpha-D, is a secreted protein which belongs to the alpha/beta interferon family. It is produced by macrophages. IFN-alpha have antiviral activities. Interferon stimulates the production of two enzymes: a protein kinase and an oligoadenylate synthetase. IFN-alpha exerts a variety of other biological effects, including antitumor and immunomodulatory activities and are increasingly used clinically to treat a range of malignancies, myelodysplasias and autoimmune diseases.
Sequence: Cys24-Glu189
Purity: > 95 % as determined by reducing SDS-PAGE.
Formulation: Lyophilized from a 0.2 um filtered solution of 20mM PB, 150mM NaCl, pH 7.4.
Normally 5 % - 8 % trehalose, mannitol and 0.01% Tween80 are added as protectants before lyophilization.
Please refer to the specific buffer information in the printed manual.
Endotoxin: < 1.0 EU per ug of the protein as determined by the LAL method.
