| Introduction | Interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) is a dimerized soluble cytokine that is the only member of the type II class of interferons. This interferon was originally called macrophage-activating factor, a term now used to describe a larger family of proteins to which IFN-gamma belongs. IFN-gamma, or type II interferon, is a cytokine that is critical for innate and adaptive immunity against viral and intracellular bacterial infections and for tumor control. Aberrant IFN-gamma expression is associated with a number of autoinflammatory and autoimmune diseases. The importance of IFN-gamma in the immune system stems in part from its ability to inhibit viral replication directly, but, most important, derives from its immunostimulatory and immunomodulatory effects. IFN-gamma is produced predominantly by natural killer (NK) and natural killer T (NKT) cells as part of the innate immune response, and by CD4 and CD8 cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) effector T cells once antigen-specific immunity develops. |

| Usage | |
|---|---|
| Application | FC, IF |
| Dilutions | Flow Cytometry (0.5-1 µg/10^6 cells in 0.1 mL); Immunofluorescence (0.5-1.0 µg/mL) |
| Reactivity | Human |
| Specificity | Recognizes a protein of 20-25kDa, identified as human interferon. This MAb is specific to human IFN- and recognizes both recombinant and native human IFN-gamma. It does not neutralize the activity of IFN-. T lymphocytes and NK cells mainly produce IFN-. It is a pleiotropic cytokine involved in the regulation of nearly all phases of immune and inflammatory responses, including the activation, growth and differentiation of T cell, B cells, macrophages, NK cells and other cell types such as endothelial cells and fibroblasts. It has weak anti-viral and anti-proliferative activity, and potentiates the antiviral and anti-tumor effects of IFN- (type I interferon). |
