Anti-Mouse IFN gamma Alexa Fluor® 488

Description: The XMG1.2 antibody reacts with mouse interferon-γ. The XMG1.2 antibody is a neutralizing antibody. Mouse IFN-γ is a 20 kDa factor produced by activated T, B and NK cells, and is an anti-viral and anti-parasitic cytokine. IFN-γ, in synergy with other cytokines such as TNF-α, inhibits proliferation of normal and transformed cells. Immunomodulatory effects of IFN-γ are exerted on a wide range of cell types expressing the high affinity receptors for IFN-γ. Glycosylation of IFN-γ does not affect its biological activity.
