Name : Mouse IFN alpha 1 Protein

Product Source :
Recombinant Mouse IFN alpha 1 Protein is expressed from HEK293 with hFc tag at the C-Terminus. It contains Cys24-Lys189.[Accession | P01572]

Molecular Weight :
The protein has a predicted MW of 45.88 kDa. Due to glycosylation, the protein migrates to 50-60 kDa based on Tris-Bis PAGE result.

Endotoxin Level :
Less than 1EU per μg by the LAL method.

Purity :
> 95% as determined by Tris-Bis PAGE

Formulation :
Lyophilized from 0.22μm filtered solution in PBS (pH 7.4). Normally 8% trehalose is added as protectant before lyophilization.

Reconstitution :
Centrifuge the tube before opening. Reconstituting to a concentration more than 100 μg/ml is recommended. Dissolve the lyophilized protein in distilled water.

Storage and Stability :
-20 to -80°C for 12 months as supplied from date of receipt.-80°C for 3-6 months after reconstitution.2-8°C for 2-7 days after reconstitution.Recommend to aliquot the protein into smaller quantities for optimal storage. Please minimize freeze-thaw cycles.

Product Concentration :
Tris-Bis PAGE Mouse IFN alpha 1 on Tris-Bis PAGE under reduced condition. The purity is greater than 95%. SPR Data Human IFN alpha/beta R1, His Tag captured on CM5 Chip via anti-his antibody can bind Mouse IFN alpha 1, hFc Tag with an affinity constant of 11.96 nM as determined in SPR assay (Biacore T200).

Background :
IFN-α, a cytokine expressed in human islets from individuals affected by type 1 diabetes, plays a key role in the pathogenesis of diabetes by upregulating inflammation, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and MHC class I overexpression, three hallmarks of islet histology in early type 1 diabetes.

Synonyms :
