Stability and Reconstitution

Stability and Storage Lyophilized proteins are stable for 1 year from the date of receipt if stored between (-20°C) and (-80°C). Upon reconstitution we recommend that the solution can be stored at (4°C) for short term or at (-20°C) to (-80°C) for long term. Repeated freeze thaw cycles should be avoided with reconstituted products.
Reconstitution Briefly centrifuge the vial before opening. It is recommended to reconstitute the protein to 0.2 mg/mL in sterile 1x PBS pH 7.4 containing 0.1% endotoxin-free recombinant human albumin (HSA). Gently swirl or tap vial to mix.

Our GMP recombinant proteins are animal component free (ACF), xeno free (XF) and tag free (TF). Read more about these policies here.

Background

Interferon gamma (IFN γ), is a type II interferon that provides immunity against bacterial, viral and protozoan infections. In its active form, IFN γ is a glycosylated, non-covalently linked homodimer of 17, 21-32 kDa subunits. It is produced by a number of immune cell types including natural killer cells, natural killer T cells, and effector lymphocyte T cells following antigenic and inflammatory triggers. The IFN γ dimer binds to its cognate receptor which has two subunits: IFN-γR1 which is the ligand-binding chain (α chain) and IFN-γR2, the signal-transducing chain (β chain). Binding to the receptor activates the JAK/STAT pathway which in turn activates IFN γ responsive genes. While IFN γ can inhibit viral replication, it also works as an immune-modulator and immune-stimulator by increasing surface expression of class I MHC proteins (PMID: 19268625; 10688427)
