Description: Recombinant Human IFNA2 Protein is produced by E. coli. It is a single non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 165 amino acids with a molecular mass of 19241 Daltons. Form: Lyophilized from a 0.2 μM filtered solution of 20mM PB, 150mM NaCl, pH 7.2. Gene Symbol: IFNA2 Alternative Names: Interferon alpha-2; IFN-alpha-2; Interferon alpha-A; LeIF AEntrez Gene (Human): 3440SwissProt (Human): P01563Purity : Greater than 95% as determined by RP-HPLC and reducing SDS-PAGE.Chemical Structure : MCDLPQTHSL GSRRTLMLLA QMRKISLFSC LKDRHDFGFP QEEFGNQFQK AETIPVLHEM IQQIFNLFST KDSSAAWDET LLDKFYTELY QQLNDLEACV IQGVGVTETP LMKEDSILAV RKYFQRITLY LKEKKYSPCA WEVVRAEIMR SFSLSTNLQE SLRSKE Directions for Use : Always centrifuge tubes before opening. Do not mix by vortex or pipetting. It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100 μg/ml. Dissolve the lyophilized protein in 1X PBS. Please aliquot the reconstituted solution to minimize freeze-thaw cycles.Quality Control : Endotoxin: Less than 0.1 ng/μg (1 IEU/μg) as determined by LAL test.Storage/Stability : Lyophilized protein should be stored at -20°C, though stable at room temperature for 3 weeks. Reconstituted protein solution can be stored at 2-8°C for 2-7 days. Aliquots of reconstituted samples are stable at -20°C for 3 months.
