IFNB1, Type I Interferon

Measure by its ability to protect HeLa cells infected with encephalomyocarditis (EMC) virus.
The ED50 for this effect is <5 pg/mL.
The specific activity of recombinant mouse IFN beta 1a is > 1 x 109 IU/mg.

Interferon-beta is, a cytokine, released by fibroblasts and pathogen-exposed dendritic cells, macrophages, and endothelial cells. IFN beta 1a conducts through the heterodimeric IFN-alpha/beta Receptor. IFN-beta-deficient mice are easier to suffer from experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), a disease model of human multiple sclerosis (MS).In addition, IFN-beta has been proved to suppress the Th17 cell response in both MS and EAE and is usually used to treat MS disease.

The protein was lyophilized from a solution containing 1X PBS, pH 7.4.

It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized protein in sterile H2O to a concentration not less than 100 μg/mL and incubate the stock solution for at least 20 min to ensure sufficient re-dissolved.

Blue Ice

Lyophilized protein should be stored at -20°C for 1 year.
Upon reconstitution, store at 2°C to 8°C for up to 1 week. Further dilute in a buffer containing a carrier protein or stabilizer (e.g. 0.1%
BSA, 10%FBS, 5%HSA or 5% trehalose solution), protein aliquots should be stored at -20°C or -80°C for 3-6 months.
