Interferons (IFN) consist of two classes. The type I IFN class consists of 20 highly similar IFN-α proteins and a single IFN-ß protein. The second class, type II IFN, consists of a single protein, IFN-γ. IFN-α and IFN-ß signal through the same cell surface receptor IFNAR1 and have a similar range of biological activities including antiviral and antiproliferative activity. The type I IFNs also influence activation, growth and differentiation of T cells, B cells, macrophages, NK cells and other cell types such as endothelial cells and fibroblasts. IFN-ß has recently proven to be beneficial in patients with multiple sclerosis and could also be a potential therapy for rheumatoid arthritis. It is unclear what cellular mechanisms are involved in IFN-ß’s therapeutic effects, but they may be caused by a restoration of balance between pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines.

N This antibody is recommended for neutralization of mouse IFN-β bioactivity

IFNα/βR (IFNAR-1, IFNAR-2)

Armenian Hamster Anti-Mouse IFNβ (Clone MIB-5E9.1) recognizes Mouse IFNβ. This monoclonal antibody was purified using multi-step affinity chromatography methods such as Protein A or G depending on the species and isotype.

≥ 5.0 mg/ml

Functional grade preclinical antibodies are manufactured in an animal free facility using only In vitro protein free cell culture techniques and are purified by a multi-step process including the use of protein A or G to assure extremely low levels of endotoxins, leachable protein A or aggregates.

Each investigator should determine their own optimal working dilution for specific applications. See directions on lot specific datasheets, as information may periodically change.
