Sequence
Amino acid sequence derived from human IFNA2 (NP_000596 .2) (Cys24-Glu 188) was expressed.
Host
Yeast
Form/Format
Lyophilized from sterile PBS, pH 7.4.
Purity/Purification
>95% as determined by SDS-PAGE.
Preparation and Storage
Item should be stored desiccated below -20 degree C. Upon reconstitution, the protein should be stored at 4 degree C between 2-7 days and for future use below -20 degree C. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA). Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.

Active Protein Note
Protein activity can be an ambiguous term. Please refer to the data sheet or inquire with Technical Support to determine the definition of activity for this product.
Species
Human
Protein Length
The recombinant human IFNA2 consists 165 amino acids and predicts a molecular mass of 19.3 kDa.
Activity
Measured in antiviral assays using WISH human amnion cells infected with vesicular stomatitis virus(VSV). The EC50 for this effect is typically 0.6-4.2pg/mL.
Usage Notes
Always centrifuge tubes before opening. It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Human IFN alpha 2 protein in sterile ddH2O not less than 100ug/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.
