IFN gamma (IFNg) antibody matched pair for ELISA, ELISPOT, and Western blotting.

Thermo Scientific Pierce IFN gamma monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies enable measurement of human interferon gamma (IFNg) in ELISA, ELISPOT, and Western Blot. These human IFNg antibodies provide excellent high specificity and sensitivity. The M700A / M701B monoclonal antibody matched pair is very well-published and comes highly recommended for ELISA and ELISPOT applications. The detecting antibody can be purchased biotin-labeled or in a purified, carrier-free format.
 

IFN gamma, also called Type II interferon, macrophage activation factor, and immune interferon is produced primarily by T-lymphocytes and natural killer cells in response to antigens, mitogens, Staphylococcus enterotoxin B, phytohemaglutanin and other cytokines. IFN gamma is a glycoprotein that exists, functionally, as a homodimer of approximately 45 kDa. On SDS-PAGE it appears as a combination of 25, 20 and minor 15.5 kDa bands as a result of differential glycosylation. The biological activity of the IFN gamma homodimer is highly species specific and includes the following: antiviral activity, tumor antiproliferative activity, induction of class I and II MHC, macrophage activation, and enhanced immunoglobulin secretion by B lymphocytes. IFNg is involved in cytokine regulation and also acts synergistically with other cytokines.
