Type II interferon produced by immune cells such as T-cells and NK cells that plays crucial roles in antimicrobial, antiviral, and antitumor responses by activating effector immune cells and enhancing antigen presentation (PubMed:16914093, PubMed:8666937). Primarily signals through the JAK-STAT pathway after interaction with its receptor IFNGR1 to affect gene regulation (PubMed:8349687). Upon IFNG binding, IFNGR1 intracellular domain opens out to allow association of downstream signaling components JAK2, JAK1 and STAT1, leading to STAT1 activation, nuclear translocation and transcription of IFNG-regulated genes. Many of the induced genes are transcription factors such as IRF1 that are able to further drive regulation of a next wave of transcription (PubMed:16914093). Plays a role in class I antigen presentation pathway by inducing a replacement of catalytic proteasome subunits with immunoproteasome subunits (PubMed:8666937). In turn, increases the quantity, quality, and repertoire of peptides for class I MHC loading (PubMed:8163024). Increases the efficiency of peptide generation also by inducing the expression of activator PA28 that associates with the proteasome and alters its proteolytic cleavage preference (PubMed:11112687). Up-regulates as well MHC II complexes on the cell surface by promoting expression of several key molecules such as cathepsins B/CTSB, H/CTSH, and L/CTSL (PubMed:7729559). Participates in the regulation of hematopoietic stem cells during development and under homeostatic conditions by affecting their development, quiescence, and differentiation (By similarity).

Human IFN gamma ELISA kit (ab174443) is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of IFN-gamma protein in human cell culture supernatant, plasma and serum samples. It uses our proprietary SimpleStep ELISA® technology. Quantitate human IFN gamma with 470 pg/ml sensitivity.
SimpleStep ELISA® technology employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody used to coat our SimpleStep ELISA® plates. This approach to sandwich ELISA allows the formation of the antibody-analyte sandwich complex in a single step, significantly reducing assay time. See the SimpleStep ELISA® protocol summary in the image section for further details. Our SimpleStep ELISA® technology provides several benefits:
-Single-wash protocol reduces assay time to 90 minutes or less
-High sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility from superior antibodies
-Fully validated in biological samples
-96-wells plate breakable into 12 x 8 wells strips
A 384-well SimpleStep ELISA® microplate (Pre-coated 384 well Microplate SimpleStep ELISA® ab203359) is available to use as an alternative to the 96-well microplate provided with SimpeStep ELISA® kits.
ASSAY SPECIFICITY
This kit recognizes both native and recombinant human Interferon-gamma protein in serum, plasma, and cell culture supernatant samples only.
Urine, milk, and cell and tissue extract samples have not been tested with this kit.
ASSAY INTERFERENCE
This kit is incompatible with plasma (heparin) samples.
IFN gamma (IFNG) is produced by lymphocytes activated by specific antigens or mitogens. IFN gamma, in addition to having antiviral activity, has important immunoregulatory functions. It is a potent activator of macrophages, it has antiproliferative effects on transformed cells and it can potentiate the antiviral and antitumor effects of the type I interferons.

Interferon gamma (IFN-γ) also known as type II interferon is a cytokine that plays an important role in immune response. IFN-γ has a molecular weight of about 17 kDa and is produced by T cells and natural killer (NK) cells. IFN-γ binds to the interferon gamma receptor initiating a signaling cascade that activates various genes involved in immune functions. It is expressed mainly in activated immune cells within lymphoid tissues and inflamed sites during immune responses.
This cytokine is significant in promoting macrophage activation enhancing the antigen presentation process and boosting the antimicrobial activity of phagocytes. IFN-γ is not part of a larger protein complex but works as a homodimer in signal transduction. Its production heightens the Th1 immune response by stimulating the differentiation of naïve T cells into Th1 cells which is essential for effective cellular immunity.
IFN-γ is integrally involved in the JAK-STAT signaling pathway alongside another critical cytokine Interleukin-12. This pathway further amplifies the immune response by regulating the expression of genes associated with cellular defense mechanisms. IFN-γ also interacts with the NF-kB pathway influencing inflammation and the activation of further immune responses. These interactions show a network of cooperativity with proteins like STAT1 and NF-kB essential for executing its biological roles.
IFN-γ is linked to autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis where its elevated levels can exacerbate inflammatory processes. It connects to other proteins like TNF-alpha in promoting the inflammatory cascade. Moreover lower levels of IFN-γ are associated with a heightened risk of infections like tuberculosis demonstrating its vital role in pathogen defense. Therefore understanding IFN-γ and its interactions can be key in developing therapeutic approaches against these conditions.

Example IFNG standard curve for cell culture supernatant samples measurements. Background-subtracted data values (mean +/- SD) are graphed.
Example IFNG standard curve for serum/plasma samples measurements. Background-subtracted data values (mean +/- SD) are graphed.
Comparison of secreted IFNG in unstimulated and PHA-stimulated Human PBMC. PBMC were grown in the absence or presence of phytohemagglutinin (PHA) for 2 days. IFNG concentrations were measured in 12X and 6X diluted cell culture supernatants of the unstimulated PBMC and the stimulated PBMC, and media. Raw data values (mean +/-SD, n=3) are graphed. The dotted line represents zero sample background.
Interpolated concentrations of secreted IFNG in unstimulated and PHA-stimulated Human PBMC. The concentrations of IFNG were interpolated from data values shown in Figure 3 using IFNG standard curve and corrected for sample dilution. The mean IFNG concentration was determined to be 1.8 ng/mL in unstimulated PBMC supernatants and 177.2 ng/mL in stimulated PBMC supernatants.
Linearity of dilution is determined based on interpolated values from the standard curve. Linearity of dilution defines a sample concentration interval in which interpolated target concentrations are directly proportional to sample dilution.
Native Interferon-gamma was measured in PHA-stimulated PBMC cell culture supernatant samples in a 2-fold dilution series. Sample dilutions are made in Sample Diluent NS.
Recombinant Interferon-gamma was spiked into human serum and plasma (citrate and EDTA) samples and diluted in a 2-fold dilution series in Sample Diluent NBP.
Neat pooled serum and plasma (EDTA and Citrate) samples from healthy donors was measured in duplicate. All values were below the detectable range of the assay.
Neat serum from ten individual healthy human female/male donors was measured in duplicate. All values were below the detectable range of the assay.
