BioVenic's Recombinant Chicken Interferon Alpha (IFNa), N-His-GST is a recombinant protein expressed from E.coli expression system. Its predicted molecular weight is 47.0 kDa. The purity is>97% (SDS-PAGE). The endotoxin level is <1 EU/μg (LAL). It can be used as a positive control or as an immunogen.
Specifications
Target Information
Interferon alpha is encoded by the chicken IFNA gene. It is a member of the type I IFNs, which are important antiviral cytokines of the innate immune system. It shares analogous biological and biochemical properties with mammalian interferon alpha.
