Biological Activity
The specific activity as determined in a viral resistance assay viral ressistance assay was found to be 100MIU/ mg.
Formulation
Lyophilized from a (1 mg/ml) solution in containing 1X PBS pH-7.4.
Physical Appearance
Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
Purity
Greater than 95.0% as determined by
(a) Analysis by RP-HPLC.
(b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE.

Stability
Lyophilized Interferon alpha 1a although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18oC. Upon reconstitution IFN-alpha 1a 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.
