SYNONYMS
Leukocyte IFN, B cell IFN, Type I IFN, IFNB1, IFB, IFF, IFNB, IFN-b 1b, MGC96956.
INTRODUCTION
IFN-beta 1b has antiviral, antibacterial and anticancer activities.
Influenza A viruses not only inhibit IFN-beta gene induction but also supress Type-I IFN signaling via mechanism involving induction of the SOCS-3 protein.
Intracellular bacteria and cytosolic poly (dA-dT) trigger IFN-beta responses in different human cells without requiring human ZBP1.
DESCRIPTION
IFN beta Mouse Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 182 amino acids (22-182 a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 22 kDa. Mouse IFN beta is fused to 21 amino acid at N-terminus and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
