FITC anti-rat IFN-γ
Description
Interferon-γ is a potent multifunctional cytokine which is secreted primarily by activated NK cells and T cells. Originally characterized based on anti-viral activities, IFN-γ also exerts anti-proliferative, immunoregulatory, and proinflammatory activities. IFN-γ can upregulate MHC class I and II antigen expression by antigen-presenting cells. The DB-1 antibody reacts with rat and mouse interferon-gamma (IFN-γ). The DB-1 antibody can neutralize the bioactivity of natural or recombinant IFN-γ. The DB-1 antibody has been well characterized for ELISPOT, ELISA, intracellular staining, Western blotting, IHC, and neutralization (in vitro and in vivo).
Formulation
Phosphate-buffered solution, pH 7.2, containing 0.09% sodium azide and 0.2% (w/v) BSA (origin USA).Recommended Usage
Each lot of this antibody is quality control tested by intracellular immunofluorescent staining with flow cytometric analysis. Test size products are transitioning from 20 microL to 5 microL per test. Please check your vial or your CoA to find the suggested use of this reagent per million cells in 100 microL staining volume or per 100 microL of whole blood. It is recommended that the reagent be titrated for optimal performance for each application.
