catalog number :
MBS212785
products full name :
MOUSE ANTI CHICKEN INTERFERON ALPHA
products short name :
IFN ALPHA
other names :
interferon type A1/A2; Interferon type A1/A2; interferon type A1/A2; IFN alpha; interferon alpha; interferon type A3; interferon-alpha; interferon; N/A
other gene names :
IFNA3; IFNA1; IFNA; IFNA1; IFNA2; IFNA6; IFN-alpha; IFN-gamma; N/A
uniprot entry name :
IFNA1_CHICK
specificity :
This item recognizes chicken Interferon alpha (chIFN-alpha). The classification of mammalian cytokines with antiviral activity, is well documented as being either Type I Interferon (IFNI) or Type II Interferon (IFNII). This is not the case for avian IFNs however, even though IFN was first detected in the chicken. A growing number of functional studies indicate similarities between chicken IFN and mammalian IFNI, revealing the conservation of cysteine residues and the existence of around ten closely related intron-less IFN alpha genes. Further research has shown that chIFN-alpha genes are strongly expressed following viral infection of monocyte-derived macrophage and embryo fibroblasts and that recombinant chicken IFN acts as a potent antiviral agent. This item does not cross react with IFN beta or IFN gamma and does not neutralize chIFN-alpha.
