Intracellular flow cytometric analysis of�4% paraformaldehyde-fixed, 90% methanol-permeabilized HEK-293T (human epithelial cell line from embryonic kidney transformed with large T antigen) (transfected with Interferon alpha 2 expression vector containing a GFP-His-tag cell line) cells labeling �Interferon alpha 2 with ab196221 at 1/600 (red) compared with Rabbit IgG, monoclonal [EPR25A] - Isotype Control (ab172730) (black) and an unlabelled control (cells without incubation with primary antibody and secondary antibody) (blue).
Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor� 647) (ab150079), at 1/2000 dilution was used as the secondary antibody.
This data was developed using the same antibody clone in a different buffer formulation containing PBS, BSA, glycerol, and sodium azide (ab196221).

Immunofluorescent analysis of 4% paraformaldehyde-fixed, 0.1% Triton X-100 permeabilized HEK-293T (human epithelial cell line from embryonic kidney transformed with large T antigen) (transfected with either GFP-tagged Interferon alpha 2 expression vector or empty GFP expression vector) cells labeling Interferon alpha 2 with ab196221 at 1/100 dilution, followed by Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 647) (ab150079) secondary antibody at 1/1000 dilution. Confocal image showing cytoplasmic staining in HEK-293T cells transfected with GFP-tagged Interferon alpha 2 expression vector.
The nuclear counterstain is DAPI (blue). Tubulin is detected with Anti-alpha Tubulin antibody [DM1A] - Microtubule Marker (Alexa Fluor® 594) (ab195889) at 1/200 dilution (red).

Immunocytochemical analysis of agarose-embedded HEK-293T (human epithelial cell line from embryonic kidney transformed with large T antigen) (transfected with Interferon alpha 2 (pcDNA3.1 (+)-EGFP-Myc)) cells labeling Interferon alpha 2 with ab196221 at 1/1000 dilution, followed by Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (HRP) ready to use secondary antibody. Positive staining on HEK-293T cells transfected with Interferon alpha 2 (pcDNA3.1 (+)-EGFP-Myc) (image A); and no staining on HEK-293T cells without transfection (image B). Counterstained with hematoxylin.
Secondary antibody only control : Used PBS instead of ab196221, followed by Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (HRP) ready to use.

Immunoprecipitation - Anti-Interferon alpha 2 antibody [EPR19074] - BSA and Azide free (AB230830)
Interferon alpha 2 was immunoprecipitated from 0.35 mg of HEK-293T (human epithelial cell line from embryonic kidney transformed with large T antigen) (transfected with Interferon alpha 2 expression vector containing a GFP-His-tag) whole cell lysate using ab196221 at 1/30 dilution. Western blot was performed from the immunoprecipitate using ab196221 at 1/1000 dilution. VeriBlot for IP Detection Reagent (HRP) (ab131366), was used as for detection at 1/10000 dilution.

Biological function summary
Interferon alpha 2 engages in complex signaling with other immune factors to establish an antiviral state in cells. This protein binds to the IFNAR1 and IFNAR2 receptor complex initiating a cascade that activates genes responsible for immune defense. By doing so it triggers the transcription of various antiviral proteins and enhances the activity of immune cells including natural killer cells and macrophages. Its function is also evaluated in reconstitution studies such as PeproTech's IL-2 reconstitution to investigate broader immune functions.
Pathways
Researchers observe interferon alpha 2 predominantly within the JAK-STAT signaling pathway. This pathway is vital in transmitting the extracellular signal through to the gene transcription process leading to an appropriate immune response. STAT proteins such as STAT1 and STAT2 form a transcription complex following activation by JAK kinases. Interferon alpha 2's interactions in the pathway exemplify how this cytokine links with other components for immune regulation coordinating with other proteins like ISGF3 to amplify antiviral responses.
