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 serum albumin (HSA). Gently swirl or tap vial to mix.

Background

Interferon alpha 2 is a type 1 interferon secreted by virus-infected cells to protect surrounding cells from the pathogen. Recombinant human interferon alpha 2 has been approved for therapeutic application in a range of human oncological and viral diseases. Three Interferon alpha 2 subvariants (2A, 2B, 2C) differ by only one or two amino acids at positions 23 and/or 34 of the mature protein (PMID: 25982860; 10672347; 1694761)
