Product details

ab242521 is a BSA and Azide Free antibody supplied in an unconjugated format and it is suitable for sandwich ELISAs to quantify Mouse Interferon alpha 2. The recommended pair for sandwich ELISA is:
Capture: ab242521, Mouse Interferon alpha 2 Capture Antibody (unconjugated)
Detector: ab242768, Mouse Interferon alpha 2 Detector Antibody (unconjugated)
The reference range value is 1.95 - 125 pg/ml.

The immunogen is recombinant full length protein without the signal peptide.

Patented technology
Our RabMAb® technology is a patented hybridoma-based technology for making rabbit monoclonal antibodies. For details on our patents, please refer to RabMAb® patents.

What are the advantages of a recombinant monoclonal antibody?
This product is a recombinant monoclonal antibody, which offers several advantages including:

  • - High batch-to-batch consistency and reproducibility
  • - Improved sensitivity and specificity
  • - Long-term security of supply
  • - Animal-free batch production

For more information, read more on recombinant antibodies.

Conjugation ready
Our carrier-free antibodies are typically supplied in a PBS-only formulation, purified and free of BSA, sodium azide and glycerol. This conjugation-ready format is designed for use with fluorochromes, metal isotopes, oligonucleotides, and enzymes, which makes them ideal for antibody labelling, functional and cell-based assays, flow-based assays (e.g. mass cytometry) and Multiplex Imaging applications.

Use our conjugation kits for antibody conjugates that are ready-to-use in as little as 20 minutes with 1 minute hands-on-time and 100% antibody recovery: available for fluorescent dyes, HRP, biotin and gold.

Sandwich ELISA
The recommended antibody orientation is based on internal optimization for ELISA-based assays. Antibody orientation is assay dependent and needs to be optimized for each assay type. Please note that the range provided for this antibody is only an estimation based on the performance of the product using the recommended antibody pair. Performance of the antibody pair will depend on the specific characteristics of your assay. We guarantee the product works in sandwich ELISA, but we do not guarantee the sensitivity or dynamic range of the antibody in your assay.

Supplementary information

Interferon alpha 2 also known as IFN alpha 2 or IFN alpha 2a/b is a type of cytokine that plays a critical role in the immune response. It is a smaller protein weighing approximately 19.5 kDa mainly expressed by leukocytes such as macrophages and dendritic cells. This protein exhibits antiviral antiproliferative and immunomodulatory activities by binding to specific receptors on target cells. Researchers often study interferon alpha through recombinant protein studies which can be simulated by companies like PeproTech. Additionally ELISA assays facilitate the quantitative measurement of interferon alpha levels in various biological samples.
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.

Scientists associate interferon alpha 2 with chronic viral infections and certain cancers. For example its therapeutic application has been prominent in treating hepatitis C and some hematological malignancies. In viral infections interferon alpha inhibits viral replication and enhances antiviral immunity. In cancer it suppresses cell proliferation and regulates immune surveillance. The protein's levels and activity can correlate with pathological states influenced by other proteins such as IFN-lambda and TNF-alpha highlighting its role in disease mechanisms and therapeutic interventions.
