IFN a 2a Human, Plant

Interferon Alpha 2a Human Recombinant, Tobacco

Interferon Alpha Human 2a Recombinant produced in Plant is a single, glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 165 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 19 kDa.
The Interferon-a 2a contains affinity 6xHis tag on C-terminus.
The IFN-A 2a is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Accession

P01563

Amino acid sequence

The sequence of the first twelve N-terminal amino acids was determined and was found to be Cys-Asp-Leu-Pro-Gln-Thr-His-Ser-Leu-Gly-Ser-Arg.

Biological Activity

The specific activity was determined by a quantitative gene report bioassay using human Type I interferon-sensitive cells. Compared with bacterial derived recombinant IFN-a 2a, assayed in the same conditions, plant derived IFN-alpha 2a showed 6.1x108 Units/mg in reference to a viral resistance assay using bovine kidney MDBK cells.

Formulation

Lyophilized, containing 50% SDS.

Physical Appearance

Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.

Purity

Greater than 99.0% as determined by both
(a) Analysis by RP-HPLC.
(b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE.

Solubility

It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Interferon-alpha 2a in sterile 18MΩ-cm H2O not less than 100ug/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.

Source

Nicotiana Sp.Plant.

Stability

Lyophilized Interferon alpha 2a although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18oC. Upon reconstitution IFN-alpha 2a should be stored at 4oC between 2-7 days and for future use below -18oC.
For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).
Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.

Synonyms

Leukocyte interferon, B cell interferon, Type I interferon, IFNA2, IFN-α 2a.
