Scientific Data Images for Mouse IFN-gamma Antibody

Detection of IFN-? antibody in Mouse Splenoctyes antibody by Flow Cytometry.

Detection of IFN‑ gamma in Mouse Splenoctyes by Flow Cytometry.

Mouse splenocytes either (A) stimulated to induce Th1 cells or (B) unstimulated were stained with Rat Anti-Mouse IFN-gamma Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB485) followed by Phycoerythrin-conjugated Anti-Rat IgG Secondary Antibody (F0105B) and Rat Anti-Mouse CD4 APC-conjugated Monoclonal Antibody (FAB554A). Quadrant markers were set based on control antibody staining (MAB006). To facilitate intracellular staining, cells were fixed with Flow Cytometry Fixation Buffer (FC004) and permeabilized with Flow Cytometry Permeabilization/Wash Buffer I (FC005).

IFN‑ gamma Inhibition of EMCV-induced Cytopathy and Neutralization by Mouse IFN‑ gamma Antibody.

IFN‑ gamma Inhibition of EMCV-induced Cytopathy and Neutralization by Mouse IFN‑ gamma Antibody.

Recombinant Mouse IFN-gamma 485-MI) reduces the Encephalomyocarditis Virus (EMCV)-induced cytopathy in the L-929 mouse fibroblast cell line in a dose-dependent manner (orange line), as measured by crystal violet staining. Inhibition of EMCV activity elicited by Recombinant Mouse IFN-gamma (2.5 ng/mL) is neutralized (green line) by increasing concentrations of Rat Anti-Mouse IFN-gamma Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB485). The ND50 is typically 0.075-0.3 µg/mL.

Background: IFN-gamma

Interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma, IFNG), also known as type II or Immune Interferon, exerts a wide range of immunoregulatory activities and is considered to be the prototype proinflammatory cytokine. Mature human IFN-gamma exists as a non-covalently linked homodimer of 20-25 kDa molecular weight variably glycosylated subunits. It shares 86% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with rat IFN-gamma, 38-44% with bovine, canine, cotton rat, equine, feline, human, porcine and rhesus IFN‑ gamma. IFN-gamma dimers bind to IFN-gamma RI (alpha subunits) which then interact with IFN-gamma RII (beta subunits) to form the functional receptor complex of two alpha and two beta subunits. Inclusion of IFN-gamma RII increases the binding affinity for ligand and the efficiency of signal transduction. IFN-gamma is produced by a variety of immune cells under inflammatory conditions, notably by T cells and NK cells. It plays a key function in host defense by promoting the development and activation of Th1 cells, chemoattraction and activation of monocytes and macrophages, up‑regulation of antigen presentation molecules, and immunoglobulin class switching in B cells. It also exhibits antiviral, antiproliferative, and apoptotic effects. In addition, IFN-gamma functions as an anti-inflammatory mediator by promoting the development of regulatory T cells and inhibiting Th17 cell differentiation. The pleiotropic effects of IFN-gamma contribute to the development of multiple aspects of atherosclerosis.
