Recombinant Mouse IFN-beta (Mammalian) Protein, CF Summary

Product Specifications

Purity
>95%, by SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions and visualized by Colloidal Coomassie® Blue stain.
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 listed

Mouse (L929/EMCV) – performed as described [Rubinstein, et al. (1981) J. Virol. 37(2):755]. The EC50 for interferon in this assay is ~2.5 U/ml. Lot Activity was derived from multiple determinations in the above assay. The units are determined by use of a Mu-IFN-beta laboratory standard calibrated to the international reference standard for mouse interferon beta provided by the National Institutes of Health [Meager, et al. (2001) J. Immunol Methods. 257 (1- 2):17-33]. Please note that IFN assays vary between labs and assay systems [Meager, et al. (2001). J. Immunol. Meth. 257:17. Meager and Das (2005) J. Immunol. Meth. 306:1].

Source

Gene was obtained from mouse DNA expressed in mammalian cells.

Carrier Free

What does CF mean?

CF stands for Carrier Free (CF). We typically add Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) as a carrier protein to our recombinant proteins. Adding a carrier protein enhances protein stability, increases shelf-life, and allows the recombinant protein to be stored at a more dilute concentration. The carrier free version does not contain BSA.

What formulation is right for me?

In general, we advise purchasing the recombinant protein with BSA for use in cell or tissue culture, or as an ELISA standard. In contrast, the carrier free protein is recommended for applications, in which the presence of BSA could interfere.

Background: IFN-beta

Interferon-beta (IFN-beta) is a cytokine that is produced by fibroblasts and pathogen-exposed dendritic cells, macrophages, and endothelial cells. It signals through the heterodimeric IFN-alpha/beta Receptor. IFN-beta-deficient mice show increased susceptibility to experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), a disease model of human multiple sclerosis (MS). Furthermore, IFN-beta has been shown to suppress the Th17 cell response in both MS and EAE and has commonly been used as a treatment for MS.
