Description
Human IFN-α1 is a type I interferon previously known as B-cell interferon, leukocyte interferon, lymphoblast interferon, and pH2-stable interferon. IFN-α1 is one of at least 23 different known variants of IFN-α. The individual proteins have molecular masses between 19-26 kDa and consist of proteins with lengths of 156-166 and 172 amino acids. The IFN-α forms are produced by monocytes/macrophages, lymphoblastoid cells, fibroblasts, and other cell types following induction by viruses, nucleic acids, glucocorticoid hormones, and low-molecular weight substances (n-butyrate, 5-bromodeoxyuridine). Human IFN-α1 promotes antiviral, antiparasitic, and antiproliferative activities.
Applications Reported
For research use only, not for diagnostic or therapeutic use. Recombinant human IFN-α1 is biologically active. The Recombinant Human IFN-α1 Single-Use ELISA RSG Standard is intended to be used as a standard for the Human IFN-α1 Ready-SET-Go! ELISA. Typically, the standard is run in a series of 7 doubling dilutions from the ‘top’ standard described below.
Instructions for use:
For Ready-SET-Go! ELISA Set (TMB substrate). Dilution: Add 5 ul of standard solution to 2.5 ml of assay diluent to prepare the top standard solution (2000 pg/ml).
Note: These are single-use vials. Use one time and discard. Dilute only as suggested above or recovery may not be accurate. Use within 6 hours after initial dilution.
Applications Tested
This cytokine standard has been calibrated, and subsequently tested by sandwich ELISA using the Human IFN-α1 ELISA Ready-SET-Go! Set (eBioscience Cat. No. 88-7389)
