Anti-Mouse IFN gamma Biotin

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