W20057G_PURE_IFN-A2_Antibody_022024
Direct ELISA showing purified anti-human IFN-α2 (clone W20057G) bound to plate-immobilized recombinant human IFN-α2 protein (Cat. Nos. 592702, 592704, 592706, and 592708). The wells were incubated with serially diluted primary antibody at room temperature for 2 hours in 1% BSAPBS, followed by incubation with HRP Goat anti-rat IgG (Cat. No. 405405). TMB High Sensitivity Substrate Solution (Cat. No. 421501) was used for detection. Absorbance was measured at 450 nm.

Description

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. They are also 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). IFN-α2 also 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 has 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.

AB_3662350 (BioLegend Cat. No. 632252)

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
Varieties of cells express the IFNα receptor (IFNAR).
Ligand/Receptor
IFNAR complex has two components, IFNAR1 and IFNAR2.
Cell Type
Embryonic Stem Cells
Biology Area
Cancer Biomarkers, Neuroinflammation, Neuroscience, Stem Cells
