Interferon alpha 2 Antibody / IFNA2

• Description:

  Recognizes a protein of 16-27 kDa, identified as human Interferon alpha 2 (IFNA2). Its epitope maps between amino acids 43-53 of the IFNA2. This mAb is specific for IFNA2 and does not cross-react with IFNA1. The epitopes of clones N27 and N39 mAbs are different and represent a good combination of antibodies to set up an ELISA assay for the quantitation of IFNA2 after viral infections. The IFNA family consists of 24 or more genes or pseudo-genes. The alpha interferons are mainly produced by lymphocytes, monocytes, macrophages, and cell lines such as Namalwa and KG1 following induction by viruses, nucleic acids, and glucocorticoid hormones. They are involved in virus resistance on target cells, inhibition of cell proliferation, induction of cytokines and regulation of expression of MHC class I antigens.
