Overview
- Species: Human
- Keywords: Cytokines
- Product Type: Interferon
- Donor / Source:Nicotiana Sp.Plant.
- Formulation:Lyophilized, containing 50% SDS.
- Purity:Greater than 99.0% as determined by both: (a) Analysis by RP-HPLC. (b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE.
- Amino acid sequence:The sequence of the first twelve N-terminal amino acids was determined and was found to be Cys-Asp-Leu-Pro-Gln-Thr-His-Ser-Leu-Gly-Ser-Arg.
- Solubility:It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Interferon-α 2a in sterile 18MΩ-cm H2O not less than 100µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.
- Stability:Lyophilized Interferon α 2a although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution IFN-α 2a should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA). Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
