Mass Spectrometry - Recombinant Human Interferon gamma protein (Active) (AB259377)
Mass Spectrometry analysis of ab259377 (Agilent Technologies). The mass spectrum shows the full length protein and two C-terminal truncated versions (-5 aa and -16 aa). Heterogeneity of C-terminus has been reported in literature (PAN, Yu‐Ching E., et al. "Structural characterization of human interferon γ Heterogeneity of the carboxyl terminus." European journal of biochemistry 166.1 (1987) : 145-149. ).

The spectrum was recorded with a 6545XT AdvanceBio LC/Q-TOF (Agilent Technologies) and a MabPac RP column (42.1x50 mm, 4 μm, Thermo Scientific). 5 μL of purified protein was injected and the gradient run from 85 % water : FA (99.9 : 0.1 v/v) and 15 % acetonitrile : FA (90 : 9.9 : 0.1 v/v/v) to 55 % water : FA (99.9 : 0.1 v/v) and 45 % acetonitrile : FA (90 : 9.9 : 0.1 v/v/v) within 3 minutes followed by an isocratic step for another 2.5 min. Flow rate was 0.4 mL/min and the column compartment temperature was 60 °C. Data was analysed and deconvoluted using the Bioconfirm software (Agilent Technologies).

Sandwich ELISA - Recombinant Human Interferon gamma protein (Active) (AB259377)
Wild-type A549 control cells or IP-10 knockout A549 cells (ab266969), grown to 40% confluency, were stimulated with Recombinant Human Interferon gamma protein (ab259377) at 100 ng/ml and Recombinant human TNF alpha protein (ab259410) at 10 ng/ml or vehicle control for 16 or 32 hours.
THP-1 cells, grown to 40% confluency, were stimulated with Recombinant Human Interferon gamma protein (ab259377) at 200 ng/ml and LPS at 50 ng/mL or vehicle control for 24 hours.
The concentrations of IP-10 (CXCL10) in cell culture supernatants were measured in duplicate and interpolated from the IP-10 standard curves using Human IP-10 ELISA Kit (ab173194). IP-10 from vehicle control samples were measured in undiluted supernatants and the treated samples were diluted 200 times. The interpolated dilution factor corrected values are plotted (mean +/- SD, n=2).

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.

General info
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 : 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).
