Recombinant Human IFN-omega Protein Summary

Product Specifications

Endotoxin Level

<1.0 EU per 1 μg of the protein by the LAL method.

Activity

Interferon was titrated with the use of the cytopathic effect inhibition assay as described [Rubinstein, S., Familletti, P.C., and Pestka, S. (1981) "Convenient Assay for Interferons," J. Virol. 37, 755-758; Familletti, P.C., Rubinstein, S., and Pestka, S. (1981) "A Convenient and Rapid Cytopathic Effect Inhibition Assay for Interferon," in Methods in Enzymology, Vol. 78 (S. Pestka, ed.), Academic Press, New York, 387-394]. In this antiviral assay for interferon about 1 unit/ml of interferon is the quantity necessary to produce a cytopathic effect of 50%. As there is no international standard for human interferon omega, the units are determined with respect to the international reference standard for human interferon alpha A (Hu-IFN- alpha A) provided by the National Institutes of Health [see Pestka, S. (1986) "Interferon Standards and General Abbreviations," in Methods in Enzymology (S. Pestka, ed.), Academic Press, New York 119, 14-23]. Unit of activity measured on human lung carcinoma cell line A549 with encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV).

Background: IFN-omega

Interferon-omega (IFN-omega), a type I interferon, is a monomeric glycoprotein distantly related in structure to IFN-alpha and IFN-beta, but unrelated to IFN-gamma. The human type I interferon receptor complex, which mediates the biological activity of IFN-alpha and IFN-beta, also binds IFN-omega. The complex is composed of a 100 kDa ligand-binding subunit (IFN-alpha R1) and a 125 kDa subunit (IFN-alpha R2) that is involved both in ligand binding and signal transduction. IFN-omega is secreted by virus-infected leukocytes.
