Product Information
| Description: | Interferon alfa is a type I interferon that activates novel genes and exerts potent antiviral and antiproliferative activity on target cells. Signaling by Interferon alfa requires receptor-dependent activation of Stat1 and Stat2 to form a heterodimeric STAT that binds to the DNA-binding protein IRF-9 (p48) and forms ISGF-3 (IFN-stimulated gene factor 3). The driver genes are then further activated by ISGF-3 to achieve antiviral function. |
| Stability and Solubility Advice: | Information concerning product stability, particularly in solution, has rarely been reported and in most cases we can only offer a general guide. We recommend that stock solutions, once prepared, are stored aliquoted in tightly sealed vials and used within 1 month. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles. Storage conditions for some special products should refer to their storage details. |
