products full name :
Recombinant Human Interferon-á2a (rHu IFN-á2a)
products short name :
Interferon-alpha2a
products name syn :
Interferon-alpha2a ; human IFN-alpha2a; Human Interferon-alpha2a; Interferon-a2a ; human IFN-a2a; Human Interferon-a2a
purity :
>97% by SDS-PAGE and HPLC analyses.
form :
Lyophilized from a 0.2mm filtered solution in PBS, pH 7.4. Physical Appearance: Sterile FilteredWhite lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
storage stability :
This lyophilized preparation is stable at 2-8 degree C, but should be kept at -20 degree C for long term storage, preferably desiccated. Upon reconstitution, the preparation is stable for up to one week at 2-8 degree C. For maximal stability, apportion the reconstituted preparation into working aliquots and store at -20 degree C to -70 degree C. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
other info1 :
Molecular Weight Information: Approximately 18.9 kDa, a single non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 174 amino acids.
other info2 :
Biological Activity: Fully biologically active when compared to standard. The specific activity as determined in a viral resistance assay was found to be no less than 1.0 x 108 IU/mg. Endotoxin Level: Less than 1EU/ug of rHuIFN-alpha2a as determined by LAL method. Reconstitution: We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Reconstitute in sterile distilled water or aqueous buffer containing 0.1% BSA to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL. Stock solutions should be apportioned into working aliquots and stored at <-20 degree C. Further dilutions should be made in appropriate buffered solutions.
products description :
At least 23 different variants of IFN-alpha are known. The individual proteins have molecular masses between 19-26 kDa and consist of proteins with lengths of 156-166 and 172 amino acids. All IFN-alpha subtypes possess a common conserved sequence region between amino acid positions 115-151 while the amino-terminal ends are variable. Many IFN-alpha subtypes differ in their sequences at only one or two positions. Naturally occurring variants also include proteins truncated by 10 amino acids at the carboxy-terminal end.
ncbi mol weight :
19kDa, a single non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 165 amino acids.
