2 μg of IFN-γ, Human (Cat. No. Z02915) was resolved with SDS-PAGE under reducing (R) and non-reducing (N) conditions and visualized by Coomassie Blue staining.
Biological Activity
IFN-gamma, Human (Cat. No. Z02915) induced cytotoxicity of HT-29 (HTB-38) cells. The ED50 for this effect is less than 0.05ng/mL.
Target Background |
Human Interferon gamma (hIFN-γ) is amacrophage‐activating factor and the lone member of Interferon type II.The active form of IFN-γ is an antiparallel dimer that interacts with the receptor IFN-γR1 and sets off IFN-γ/JAK/STAT pathway. IFN-γ signaling does diverse biological functions primarily related to host defense and immune regulation, including antiviral and antibacterial defense, apoptosis, inflammation, and innate and acquired immunity. While IFN-γ–induced inflammatory cascade summons a variety of immune‐related cell types, such as macrophages, natural killer (NK) cells and cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs), IFN-γ is also implicated in resistance to NK cell and CTL responses and in immune escape in a variety of cancers. |
