Anti-Interferon alpha-1 (IFNA1)(2-48), CF488A conjugate, 0.1mg/mL

This MAb is specific for human interferon alpha 1 and does not cross react with human interferon alpha 2. Interferons are widely used therapeutic agents because of their anti-tumor and anti-viral effects and because of their modulatory effects on the immune system. These cytokines produce their effects by binding to the Type 1 Interferon- Receptor (IFNAR1). Down regulation of this receptor plays a key role in determining the magnitude and duration of cytokine signaling. This down regulation is influenced by phosphorylation of Serine 535 and 539 in the IFNAR1. Concentration: 0.1 mg/mL Storage buffer: PBS, 0.1% BSA, 0.05% azide
