IFN alpha Antibody (221001) in ELISA
Communications biology 2020 -
Fig. 2 Increased levels of neutrophil regulating factors in retinas from Cryba1 cKO mice and human early AMD donor eyes. The levels of a CXCL1, b IFNalpha, and c IFNlamda were increased in the RPE-choroid tissue homogenate of 15-month-old Cryba1 cKO mice compared to age-matched Cryba1 fl/fl controls as measured by ELISA. No changes were observed in 3-month-old mice. n = 6. * P < 0.05 (one-way ANOVA and ... View More

Product Specific Information
221001 targets IFN alpha in ELISA and Neutralization applications and shows reactivity with mouse samples. Purity is greater than 95%, and endotoxin level is less than 1 EU/ug.
In neutralization assays, one neutralization unit is the amount of antiserum required to neutralize one unit of mouse IFN alpha to a 50% endpoint. This antibody is expected to work in IP applications, although it has not been fully evaluated for IP.
After receipt, the product may be stored at -20C for short-term use (under 6 months). For long-term storage, the product should be kept at -70C or below for retention of full activity.
IFN alpha has a predicted molecular weight of approximately 19 kDa.
Target Information
IFN alpha (Interferon alpha) is a Type I interferon belonging to a family of structurally related, species-specific proteins exclusive to vertebrates. The interaction of IFN-alpha with its receptor component result in the activation of a number of signaling pathways which are mainly involved in innate immune response against viral infection. In humans, the gene for IFN alpha is located on on chromosome 9. The type I interferons consist of 14 different alpha isoforms (subtypes with slightly different specificities), and single beta, omega, epsilon and kappa isoforms. Homologous molecules are found in many species, including rats and mice (and most mammals), and have been identified in birds, reptiles and fish species. IFN alpha is produced primarily by plasmacytoid dendritic cells, is a potent component of the anti-viral innate immune response and modulates adaptive immunity. Diseases associated with the dysfunction of IFN alpha include Hepatitis C and Hepatitis.
