Description

General description

Rabbit polyclonal antibody supplied as diluted serum. Recognizes the ~20 kDa β-interferon protein.

Recognizes the ~20 kDa IFN-β protein. Note: 1 KU = 1000 neutralization units.

This Anti-β-Interferon Rabbit pAb is validated for use in Neutralization Studies for the detection of β-Interferon.

Immunogen

Human

recombinant, human β-interferon

Application

Neutralization Studies (see application references)

Biochem/physiol Actions

≥1 x 10⁵ neutralization units/ml

Warning

Toxicity: Standard Handling (A)

Physical form

Serum diluted in PBS.

Reconstitution

Following initial thaw, aliquot and freeze (-20°C).

Other Notes

Does not recognize α-interferon or γ-interferon by immunoblotting. Effectively neutralizes human β-interferon (see application references). One neutralization unit is the amount of diluted serum required to neutralize 1 unit of human interferon-β. One KU = 1,000 neutralization units. Variables associated with assay conditions will dictate the proper working dilution.
