Interferons are divided into type I, II, and III. Type I IFNs (IFN-α and IFN-β) are most abundant in number, distribution, and expression. Also, they are highly conserved among mammals in both structure and function. IFN-α2 has been used in the treatment of cancer such as bladder cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma, and leukemia. IFN-α2 augments the suppressed immune functions in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). IFN-α2 initiated T and NK cell mediated cytotoxicity of tumor cells through IFNγ dependent and independent mechanisms. IFN-α2 enhances suppressed T cell cytotoxicity by stimulation of the perforin-granzyme B system (IFNγ dependent). Also, IFN-α2 induces the expression of perforin-granzyme B in NK cells (NK mediated cytotoxicity, IFNγ independent). In a preliminary study, IFN-α2 appears to be an effective immunostimulator and impacts the clinical outcome in tongue squamous cell carcinoma patients. IFN-α had been used in the treatment of chronic hepatitis C (CHC); nevertheless, IFN-α is relatively unstable and requires frequent parenteral administration. Pegylation of IFN-α, polyethylene glycol (PEG)-IFN-α, reduces in vitro activity but increase the stability and plasma half-life of IFN-α; therefore, PEG-IFN-α has replaced IFN-α in CHC treatment.

- Recommended Usage
-
Each lot of this antibody is quality control tested by ELISA assay. For ELISA Detection applications, a concentration range of 0.05 - 0.4 µg/mL is recommended. To obtain a linear standard curve, serial dilutions of IFN-α2 recombinant protein ranging from 12.5 to 800 pg/mL is recommended for each ELISA plate. It is recommended that the reagent be titrated for optimal performance for each application.
- Application Notes
-
The biotinylated BL25372 antibody is useful as the detection antibody in a sandwich ELISA assay, when used in conjunction with the pure M4509E12 antibody (Cat. No. 537102) as the capture antibody and Recombinant Human IFN-a2 (ELISA Std.) (Cat. No. 592709)

Antigen Details
- Distribution
-
IFN-α is ubiquitously expressed.
- Function
- IFN-α stimulates cytotoxic T lymphocytes and natural killer cell function. IFN-α has immunomodulatory and antiviral properties. IFNα2a induces CXCL10 in human microvascular endothelial cells and pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells. It is induced by viral infection.
- Interaction
- A variety of cells express the IFNα receptor (IFNAR).
- Ligand/Receptor
- IFNAR complex has two components, IFNAR1 and IFNAR2.
