IFN gamma, also known as IFNG, is a secreted protein which belongs to the type I I interferon family. IFN gamma is produced predominantly by natural killer and natural killer T cells as part of the innate immune response, and by CD4 and CD8 cytotoxic T lymphocyte effector T cells once antigen-specific immunity develops. IFN gamma has antiviral, immunoregulatory, and anti-tumor properties. IFNG, in addition to having antiviral activity, has important immunoregulatory functions, it is a potent activator of macrophages, and has antiproliferative effects on transformed cells and it can potentiate the antiviral and antitumor effects of the type I interferons. The IFNG monomer consists of a core of six α-helices and an extended unfolded sequence in the C-terminal region. IFN gamma is critical for innate and adaptive immunity against viral and intracellular bacterial infections and for tumor control. Aberrant IFN gamma expression is associated with a number of autoinflammatory and autoimmune diseases. The importance of IFN gamma in the immune system stems in part from its ability to inhibit viral replication directly, and most importantly from its immunostimulatory and immunomodulatory effects. IFNG also promotes NK cell activity.

Human Cells

A DNA sequence encoding the mouse IFNG (P01580) (Met 1-Cys 155) was expressed, fused with a polyhistidine tag at the C-terminus.

Mouse

The recombinant mouse IFNG comprises 144 amino acids and has a calculated molecular mass of 17 kDa. As a result of glycosylation, the apparent molecular mass of rn IFNG is approximately 21 kDa in SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions.

1. Measured in antiviral assays using L929 cells infected with vesicular stomatitisvirus (VSV). The ED₅₀ for this effect is typically 0.2-1 ng/mL.
2. Measured by its binding ability in a functional ELISA. Immobilized mouse IFNG-His (cat:504176)at 10 μg/ml (100 μl/well) can bind mouse IFNGR1-Fc (Cat:503623). The EC₅₀ of mouse IFNGR1-Fc (Cat:503623) is 58.2-135.9 ng/ml.
