Function

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:11585387, PubMed:8456301). Primarily signals through the JAK-STAT pathway after interaction with its receptor IFNGR1 to affect gene regulation. 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. Plays a role in class I antigen presentation pathway by inducing a replacement of catalytic proteasome subunits with immunoproteasome subunits. In turn, increases the quantity, quality, and repertoire of peptides for class I MHC loading. 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. 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 (By similarity). Participates in the regulation of hematopoietic stem cells during development and under homeostatic conditions by affecting their development, quiescence, and differentiation (PubMed:20535209, PubMed:25078851).

Notes

Mouse IFN gamma ELISA kit (ab282874) is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of Mouse IFN gamma protein in human cell and tissue extract samples. It uses our proprietary SimpleStep ELISA® technology. Quantitate Mouse IFN gamma with 1.9 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 SimpleStep ELISA® kits.

IFN gamma (Interferon-gamma), is an important immunoregulatory cytokine in addition of having antiviral activity. 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. IFN gamma is produced by lymphocytes activated by specific antigens or mitogens.

Activity summary

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.

Biological function summary

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.

Pathways

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.

Associated diseases and disorders

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.
