Preparation:
Produced from sera of rabbits immunized with highly pure Recombinant Rat IFN-gamma. Anti-Rat IFN-gamma-specific antibody was purified by affinity chromatography employing an immobilized Rat IFN-gamma matrix.

Sandwich ELISA:
To detect Rat IFN-gamma by sandwich ELISA (using 100 µL/well antibody solution), a concentration of 0.25–1.0 µg/mL of this antibody is required.
This biotinylated polyclonal antibody, in conjunction with PeproTech Polyclonal Anti-Rat IFN-gamma (500-P122) as a capture antibody, allows the detection of at least 0.2–0.4 ng/well of Recombinant Rat IFN-gamma.

Western Blot:
To detect Rat IFN-gamma by Western Blot analysis, this antibody can be used at a concentration of 0.1–0.2 µg/mL.
When used in conjunction with compatible secondary reagents, the detection limit for Recombinant Rat IFN-gamma is 1.5–3.0 ng/lane, under either reducing or non-reducing conditions.

Packaging:
500-P122BT-1MG is provided as 2 × 500 µg.

Target Information

IFN gamma (Interferon gamma, Type II interferon) is a macrophage activation factor and immune interferon produced primarily by T-lymphocytes and natural killer cells in response to antigens, mitogens, and cytokines.
It is a dimeric glycoprotein consisting of two 146 amino acid subunits (~45 kDa as a homodimer).
On SDS-PAGE, it appears as 25, 20, and minor 15.5 kDa bands due to differential glycosylation.
Its biological activity is highly species-specific; human IFN gamma does not cross-react with mouse IFN gamma.

Functions include:

• Antiviral and tumor antiproliferative activity
• Induction of MHC class I and II
• Macrophage activation
• Enhanced immunoglobulin secretion by B lymphocytes
• Cytokine regulation and JAK-STAT pathway activation

IFN gamma expression is upregulated by IL-2, FGF basic, and EGF, and downregulated by vitamin D3 or DMN.
Mutations in the IFN gamma gene are associated with aplastic anemia.
